Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
What is w00t anyway? I don't really know but I've picked it up as some sort of internet term clearly signifying something utterly awesome. A cheer and a congratulations all rolled into one I guess. But, I digress. First, HAH! I remembered my camera! However, I did *not* leave home early enough to pull over... Continue Reading →
I need to take a camera tomorrow to record a gorgeous sight. Recently charred hillsides saturated by rain that are now covered in a lush green carpet of new grass dotted with patches of yellow mustard flowers (told ya February was the yellow flower month here!) I leave that description here because there is a... Continue Reading →
Well, actually, this is a story about how lucky about 17 kids are. Because for two years in a row they shared a remarkable run with a football team coached by The Greatest Youth Coach Ever! Hyperbole? Perhaps, but when all the families say that, and we've all had more than one child go through... Continue Reading →
Photos from our 1/29/08 hike which was supposed to be at the Rancho Penasquitos Trail, but that park was closed I assume due to high creek levels from the rain. We will attempt that site again Saturday. So we went to the place we know best, Torrey Pines Reserve. Parked at work and walked in... Continue Reading →

It's not fair when your kids gang up on you! Not that they were in collusion or anything, but did they have to... Continue Reading →
Everywhere I look on the web once you get past the Iowa results, is some huge story about the storms hitting California. I know that the northern part has been getting hit since last night. The NU San Jose campus had to close today entirely due to the power outages caused by the wind. Meanwhile,... Continue Reading →
Look what I found on this laptop! I had no idea that I had some way old pictures of Sports Boy stored electronically. I forgot that Kodak had the CD option back then for non-digital cameras and I got in the habit of ordering them. What I really want to find is a picture from... Continue Reading →
Alto2 and I share something we wish we did not. A child who avoids homework like the plague. An email arrived from Sportsboy's teacher yesterday. He is behind (again) on assignments in every subject except math. You know, when I worked the drop off line yesterday I did notice a few 6th grade girls stepping... Continue Reading →
You know, it just figures that I woke up this morning and had about 3 different ideas for posting!! I wrote them down and will use in December when it will otherwise be too hectic to be creative 🙂 SportsBoy came home from 6th grade camp today. To rain and more rain. Actually, it started...

What I really was going to blog about today was just this: Go Torrey Pines Golden Falcons! I'm a nervous wreck. Wearing Falcon burgundy and my football charm necklace. Kickoff is at 6:00pm. My heart is already pounding!! Aaaack!!!!
Trees & Flowers & Birds!
