Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Trees: I know. Lame. But hey, I got the idea for this post at night so I had to make do finding the required pictorial subjects in my house. Flowers: Courtesy of MusicMan. Something about someone gave them to him (I have no clue so dont ask), and he knew I would like them. He... Continue Reading →
Amber is a pretty affectionate cat with the family by nature. She is typically in my lap at least once during the the evening if I settle on the sofa to watch tv. Last night she was in a particularly 'love me love me' mood. I was calling her velcro kitty because she was on... Continue Reading →
On 8/27/03 I picked up the keys to this house. My first and only home purchase. Five years? Really? I had to go double check on my escrow papers!! Wow. You know what that means?

Do any other cat owners have one of these? I call him Bathroom Cat. He can frequently be found either in the shower or else on the floor in front of the shower. Mostly in it though. Always in my bathroom too. More oftne than not when I go in there to use it, he... Continue Reading →
My plan this morning was to walk to complete my chores. Walk to Starbucks, walk to the PO box, walk to the dry cleaners. The dry cleaner part was going to make it a challenge because I have a lot to drop off. But, I could manage it spread out between two of my reusable... Continue Reading →
Amber needed some serious attention last night. Any time I sat for more than 2 minutes she was on my lap. I guess all those days of not being home took their toll. Even Chip has been more affectionate than usual. This morning he lay down right next to me and let me snuggle him... Continue Reading →
