Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Isn't that one of the coolest photos you've ever seen? Thought I'd send you this with best wishes for a fantabulous weekend. We, of course, are due again for rain on Sunday. Because it ONLY rains on weekends in San Diego. Seriously. It sucks. What also sucks is that I have to go to a... Continue Reading →
Dear Trayvon, Where do I begin? I heard your name for the first time thanks to a tweet in my timeline and read your story. I was immediately outraged but ever skeptical of biting into a quick read/react cycle I held back on re-tweeting anything or signing any petitions. I added your name to my... Continue Reading →
Watch out! He's on the loose! Ok, not on the loose so much just YET since we need to setup his 1st behind the wheel training and also contact in$urance - BUT - he passed the written test (just missed 3). Actually, he had a harder time with this photo. That took FOUR attempts. And... Continue Reading →
The weekend did not go as planned. Mother Nature not only didn't listen to my plea for calm weather, she essentially threw a righteous temper tantrum that effectively canceled the Super Seal Triathlon. No cheering for my friends. No pictures. No cowbell. Just lots and lots of cold cold wind and rain and even hail. Consequently... Continue Reading →
How's your weekend starting out? Mine is fabulous. Why? Well because I love my new Saturday mornings. I know, I should be sad about 15 no longer playing spring sports - specifically baseball. After all, that's the sport he's played the longest. 9 months out of the year essentially since he was 5. And as... Continue Reading →
So it begins eh? The annual Springtime Weekend Only rainstorms. Charming. You know what this is forcing me to do today? Get in my weekend run today. After work. Or, more specifically, I am going to run home from work (thank god that's mostly downhill this time). So please, keep that rain away until much... Continue Reading →
You are such a cool kid. Really. I know I spend a lot of time right now lamenting your seriously lacking study habits, but you are otherwise still a joy to be around (most of the time). You laugh easily, have a great sense of humor, still like watching tv with me and generally talking... Continue Reading →
Love, me
I'm pretty sure 15 is going to drive me to stow away on a cruise ship soon. Preferably one heading someone warm with fizzy umbrella drinks being served hourly. Probably one of the biggest issues I've noticed with him is his lack of ability to develop good working relationships with his teachers. He acts like... Continue Reading →
What the heck did I ever do to you? How can one little hour have so much impact? Por ejemplo - last Sunday I joined my running buddies for a 90 min trail run at San Elijo Lagoon. We had to get started before 8am because they have follow up the run with a swim... Continue Reading →
