Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
What a perfect day today! It rained last night so the day dawned with the ground wet and the air crisp and clear and clean. Big clouds mized with blue sky and sun. I love it the day after a rain! Alex's game was at 8:00am in Carlsbad - they won 33-12 making the team... Continue Reading →
Thank you to all readers here who donated! As of collecting a $100 check today, I have reached the $2200 minimum for the 3-day walk. Yay! A whole month to focus on training only. Heh. Ahem. Anyhoo...It's not that bad. I've trained more this year than I did for the one in '03 and I... Continue Reading →

It's amazing what 9.5 hours of solid sleep and a double venti soy mocha will do for motivation issues!!I should have taken a before picture so it could be appreciated how much work DS2 and I did cleaning in his room today. I rewarded his efforts with a trip to the Ceramic Cafe where he... Continue Reading →
Anyone who was around me last year knows that in October, when the walkers from the 2005 Breast Cancer 3-Day went past the NU buildings, it was all I could do not to join them! Yeah, I was in work clothes and shoes but who cares! I had walked in 02 and 03 and it... Continue Reading →
