Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
My running events this year are focused more on being a running companion to other friends trying to restart or maintain their own running goals and I since I know how much I appreciated all the help that Renee and Eve gave me in my first year or two, I thought it would be fun... Continue Reading →
No, I did not take out my phone during the worst of the weather. You can tell by how he looks once he got in to play in the second half that he is soaked through! Yes, it does rain in San Diego, but today was special. The worst of it was RIGHT when we... Continue Reading →
What matters is that the team won it's second game 44-9. It was close for the 1st quarter, but then our offense found it's groove, This was a team the Falcons lost to last year 2-0. Yes, that score is correct. A safety after a muffed punt attempt resulted in the only score. So, we... Continue Reading →
He took pity on me since I've been doing first day of school drop offs from 1990-2013 and this was officially my LAST ONE! He was oddly in a better mood for a 1st day as well - his schedule was posted last night and he's (mostly) happy with the results though he still... Continue Reading →

I'm crossing fingers for the latter, but not ruling out the former just yet. He took the ACT test this weekend. And... Continue Reading →
I know, if you have one in the house you experience pretty non-stop sarcasm, eye rolls, laziness beyond belief and bedrooms that would scare a skunk. But sometimes....SOMETIMES....they do show signs of being human. Por ejemplo.... Last weekend 16 and his dad borrowed my lawn mower to use at a rental property of theirs that... Continue Reading →
Happy St Patrick's Day! Aren't those awesome socks? Pro Compression and yes, I wore them for the run today. Had to, right? A two hour "easy" run was the plan. We thought we would do some exploring. We've been eyeing the Santa Fe Valley trail which is the west end of the Lake Hodges Trail... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty sure I did that on Thursday and again today. Today I had 8 things on my To DO list - some fun, some chores, some money making blog work. I did 5 so that's not too bad when you consider I also spent time with the boyfriend. Anyway - my whole money saving... Continue Reading →
