Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Watch out folks! I've got this scanning thing down and my parents brought me some old photos. Wait, why am I telling you guys to watch out? It's ME who is going to be mortified at the fashions and hair styles!! This one isn't too bad actually. I'm 17 here. My mom is behind me,... Continue Reading →
I like to think of myself as a positive thinking person. OK, that's wrong. I happen to know that I AM a pretty first class Pollyanna most of the time. My glass is ALWAYS full. My first impressions of just about everyone/anything are good. I can make excuses with the best of them. Hell, in... Continue Reading →
This post inspired by Ooph and her Monday's Mother post this week. I realized after leaving a too long comment there that perhaps I should put those thoughts together more completely here 🙂 Yes, I'm a mom. And a blogger. So I guess that makes me a mommy blogger though I thoroughly chafe at that... Continue Reading →

I recently wrote about my little issue with Proper Names and how they have vanished from my brain. Here's a couple of examples of this from this past week: Ran into a friend and her son while out running errands one night. The mom and I chatted, the boy says "Hi Ms N" and I... Continue Reading →
I set out on my workout hike this weekend with the Private Landscape post in mind. I really gave this a lot of thought and didn't want to seem so obvious in my choice. But here's the thing - I don't have a terribly fertile imagination. Even my dreams rarely go anywhere too detached from... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know that we never really Grow Up, but...you know what I mean eh? We've recently starting talking on the August Mom list about how some of our kids are forging their career paths and what we could/should be doing to help direct them. It's rare to know with 100% clarity as you walk... Continue Reading →
I was catching up with some friends at a dinner a couple of weeks ago and I was asked a question that made me pause for a concrete answer: "So what are you doing with all your free time now that you are not volunteering - other than reading books again?" Well..... It's not that... Continue Reading →
I've talked before about how the internet has given all of us a tendency towards exhibiting ADD characteristics (Dare you to read an entire article from start to finish without a single click of a link or over to another browser tab!) Yesterday I was laughing at myself though at my latest little display of... Continue Reading →
