Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Unless you have been away from just about every possible media source the last 3 days, you have probably heard about the utter public relations fail of the Susan G Komen foundation. At best, they have naively applied an entirely NEW criteria for grant funding to various Planned Parenthood clinics around the country essentially blocking... Continue Reading →
Some fog off on the horizon, but otherwise everything is a brilliant, deep blue. Contrast that with the same time of day in early January when a very muggy heat wave rolled through. Rain rolls back into town this weekend - unfortunately creating an adventure for the Breast Cancer 3 Day walkers this... Continue Reading →
how 'bout getting off of these antibiotics how 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up how 'bout them transparent dangling carrots how 'bout that ever elusive kudo- alanis morissette (Thank You) You can tell that the San Diego Breast Cancer 3-Day walk is about to start. Next weekend to be exact. How? Because I am... Continue Reading →
Knees are still stiff and painful when I first get up from sitting for any length of time, but the blisters are fine. I went to the closing ceremonies on Sunday. Hung around cheering for walkers and then finally got the courage to go on in myself. I still felt like I didn't belong since... Continue Reading →
Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. (The bad news)Perhaps the third time was not the charm. The blister from Day 1 became my ultimate nemesis creating a series of injuries which have knocked me out of the event. I had it bandaged as I started into day 2 and it flet... Continue Reading →
Well the font should be pink, but then it would be *really* be hard to read so this mauve will have to do.Oh man today was SLOW! Did not walk into camp until 4:45. Started at 7:40am though. Tomorrow I will get to camp to eat breakfast before 5:30 and hit the route when it... Continue Reading →
Packed and ready to go! Of course, since I packed the gear bag, I have decided not to stay in the tents! It just doesn't make sense to stay only one night. I have to drive to camp sight on Day 3 anyway since I will return home to attend Alex's final football game. So,... Continue Reading →
I normally consider myself pretty calm and levelheaded. Most of my close friends have described me that way anyway! However, I realize that towards the end of last week I became quite cranky and snippy (particularly to Marcus and my parents). Then I looked at the week I was facing. Saturday was Alex's big game...

I just found out that the Closing ceremonies, or the finish line, for the 3-Day walk will be:My home away from home!! Petco Park!!!!!!!!!!Of course, I might cry approaching the ballpark that I already miss. I just received the renewal notice for the 07 season ticket plan and I cannot bring myself to throw it...

OK, so it's not quite New England 🙂 Another fuzzy camera photo taken at the end of this morning's walk. A walk I probably should not have done. Oh, the headache went away quickly with a leftover Vicodin from my eye surgery - knocked me right out at 9:30. But the right leg/hip - OW.... Continue Reading →
