Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It's been awhile since I dropped a recipe in here, but I made this tonight after my mom and I talked about it this weekend and it was too good not to share: Ingredients: 1 cup Rice (I used a long grain blend tonight & it was fabulous, but basic white will do) Beef broth... Continue Reading →
Well, you can't be too technophobic if you are reading blogs, right? But then, that is a pretty passive activity. Surfing the internet for info or entertainment shouldn't be too scary. What about internet shopping? Facebook? Twitter? Writing your own blog? Posting pictures on the internet of you or your family? Online banking? Heck, (and... Continue Reading →
More complete race report (combo of me and the participant) later this week. I'm zapped out! From the time stamps on the tweets I sent this morning: 6:55am - in the water, staying towards the back to avoid being kicked or getting in the way of the fast swimmers. First race in a wet suit...

Twitter helps for those quick bursts, but man has it been hard to not go through each day thinking in terms of potential blog... Continue Reading →
Positive Condition #1 : Second TT so we knew what we were doing. Positive Condition #2: We did not have to spring forward our clocks the night before thereby losing even MORE sleep. In fact, we both actually SLEPT quite soundly from 10-4. Perhaps having a relaxing, filling dinner with R&E Sat night helped! Positive... Continue Reading →
I can totally relate to Garfield. Not about raisins - for me, it's mushrooms. And for some reason recently I've encountered way too many of them in my food! The taste/feel of them in my mouth literally makes me want to spit them out like the image above. Why why WHY are they in so... Continue Reading →
A tweet I sent yesterday: "Guy sitting next to me here at work just broke into whistling, humming, then singing....O...K.." While the musical interlude got quiet very soon thereafter, the last 30 minutes has provided a pretty steady stream of whistling. Little, random bursts. We've both got headphones on since I'm listening to the Padres... Continue Reading →
