Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Because I promised I would share (though I did also write a Netroots Nation auction solicitation diary on Saturday, I didn't necessarily want to to document that one for posterity).

They want schedules done one week before and yesterday my staff member who is pregnant was told they would do... Continue Reading →

I echo all her sentiments 🙂 Here is a less detailed wrap up from me:FoodSeafood and more seafood! I am actually craving red meat right now with all of the fish that I ate... Continue Reading →
I looked at my blog stats today and noticed a huge spike in visits yesterday. Mostly as referrals from DailyKos. Hmmm..I wonder WHY??
