Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Wouldn't you know that after I wrote yesterday's post, THE big political flub of the season came down. Of course, you could say that my one sentence on Hillary addressed that 🙂 However, yesterday was more than just making a fool of herself. Now, there has been plenty written and said about it already. And... Continue Reading →
Made it home safely though not without some drama. Sure enough the grounding of planes impacted our flight last night as the gal from work who was supposed to fly out an hour before me ended up on my flight thanks to hers being canceled. Then my flight was delayed taking off. Amber was very... Continue Reading →
the cats are at play: What is this obsession with toilet paper rolls? Do you see what she did here (because I have not doubt this was Amber)? She opened both cabinets, dragged a towel out for some unknown reason and then discovered the mother lode of toilet paper and pulled that out. And where... Continue Reading →
Flowers from the backyard this weekend. Mini daffodils and star jasmine. The jasmine are taking over the back wall totally now and I love it. I have a very tiny yard - more of an extended patio vs a real yard in the back and it smells so lovely right now. I spent a couple... Continue Reading →

Wonder how this could have happened? It was only a matter of time I suppose. The temptations over the past 4 weeks have been quite high yet this is the first real casualty (though the gift I opened in the C&J SS exchange did have a green bow with tell tale bite marks). Just one... Continue Reading →
Does everyone realize that it is still November? I was feeling a little pressured because I had not thought a bit about holiday preparation other than decorations what with the other distractions the last couple of weeks. The August moms started talking shopping lists 3 weeks ago, and many have indicated they are DONE (show... Continue Reading →
First, work from home on Thanksgiving week since schools are closed. Work must be done rather than it being pure vacation time off since there is this, oh, minor little trip possibly happening in less than two weeks. Since the weekend was spent out of the house at various football and baseball fields, focus during... Continue Reading →
Why is this a spoiled cat? Because every time she does something cute (such as sit in this box of manila envelopes that I was using), I run for the camera to record the moment. Not once was I like that with the boys when they were babies! Ok, I didn't have a digital camera... Continue Reading →
