Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Our favorite ride as you will hear me explaining in the background 🙂 Check out this stomach tumbling nonsense. They went on this ride a couple of times. Oh yeah, and check out that dangling shoe lace on my kid. Yeah, he's almost 13 and stil cannot get a grip on his laces! And yes... Continue Reading →
Yes, it is kind of cat heaven, isn't it? I sure hope that next year we don't have passport drama right before SportsBoy has to leave! Last year it was that it was expired and his dad had to drive him up to LA to get a rush renewal two days before. This year it... Continue Reading →
Since one of the google search hits that is still going strong here is "Jacaranda Tree" rather than bringing peeps to a post with a randomly stolen picture from the web, I thought I would post a picture of my local one in full glory. Apparently these were planted in front of every house when... Continue Reading →
Tonight SportsBoy and I took a trip down memory lane to his elementary school. You might remember last year when his then 6th grade class put on The Sound of Music as their play. The 6th grade play is a fantastic tradition at this school that all the kids look forward to as they progress... Continue Reading →

Despite the protests of the cats and their attempts to become one with the luggage, the boys and I piled into our Griswold Family Wagon and hit the road last week. It was Viva Viagra! LAS VEGAS! Argh, I hate that stupid commercial which makes it impossible for my brain to sing that song the... Continue Reading →
(overall Vegas vacation report coming later. First, the baseball part) I know, I know, back in December, I thought I had witnessed The Best Baseball Game Ever. It was. But now there is another one. One that can rank alongside the first one for completely different reasons, but one which was equally fun to watch.... Continue Reading →
The Good: Arriving early and watching both teams during batting practice. We sat in an area of right field called The Porch which is prime home run target area for left handed hitters. One of the balls was hit by Brian Giles and was actually a ground ball down the line, but a Padres pitcher... Continue Reading →
Today is catch up day. I have been presented a some time this morning as my brunch date canceled so I am surfing my friend's blogs and realized I owe a couple of things. First off - one full week late - here is a link to an interview that Grandy did of me for... Continue Reading →
