Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Yesterday was just one of those days: Woke up at 6am feeling like I had not slept. Promptly fell back asleep until 7am. No problem. I had showered the night before. I just wanted cereal for breakfast anyway. Trip over a cat on the way to the bathroom. Grrrrr.... Start to put together my vitamin... Continue Reading →
My company sent this message out to employees yesterday and I thought it was such a good summary of how to protect yourself against phishing that I should share it. I've been very lucky over the years to avoid viruses and almost all malware and phishing. A lot of that is due to me being... Continue Reading →
On the random FM morning radio show (yes, same one with the Push Presents topic): Female DJ: "So, Kim Kardashian revealed recently that she suffers from psoriasis. Apparently her mom has it too and her doctors revealed that there is a large hereditary component to it" Male DJ: "Oh wow, that's so sad! Will she be... Continue Reading →
It started as soon as I got back home from my run: "I need to remember to water the plants & fill the bird feeder" I didn't want to do that at that moment since I needed to shower and eat some breakfast because I was famished. So I tucked that into a corner of... Continue Reading →

It was good - but I don't think I would pass up on my Deep Fried Oreos for them. Those are just...well...still as awesome as I expected. Thankfully the boys were at the fair with me so we could order up a batch of both and each get a taste without totally stuffing ourselves (though... Continue Reading →
After lugging around a very NICE camera in Minneapolis and taking lots of pictures there, I was feeling decidedly unenthusiastic about photo taking this weekend so I left my semi-decent digital at home and mentally shut down my photo taking part of my brain. Which naturally means there will be photo ops galore, right? Yeah...oh... Continue Reading →
That picture above was from the BEST Pub Quiz ever. We were rowdy, loud, chanting & protesting just about every question and answer. The guys behind me? The Wisconsin Union crew - some of whom really DID protest in Madison this year. At one point they broke out into a chant of "Show me what... Continue Reading →
