Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
What? Lame? Yeah, I know, but I purposefully do not live where it snows so this is the best I've got: Someone had asked me on Facebook if the cats were spooked by the sound of heavy rain on my skylight. No, they sleep right through it, BUT, the hail last night was LOUD not... Continue Reading →
What a week! I've actually learned a lot thanks to being so riveted by the scenes from Egypt all week. Wikipedia has been put to the test! The Oct6 bridge was one - named for the beginning of the Yom Kippur war. And I will get a little deeper than I have in previous weeks.... Continue Reading →
I had to capture this moment last night - Amber actually sat in someone elses lap while mine was available on the same sofa! And? They are BOTH smiling! Doesn't get better than that does it? After 10 days of winter break, the first work week of 2011 has been survived - barely! Each... Continue Reading →
This all started back in 2006 when I was 41 and thought I should have some blood work done because I hadn't ever done it (well except when they test your iron before donating which up until then had always been fine). I was a quite shocked to find out that my cholesterol readings were... Continue Reading →
Before I lose my status as Little Miss Sunshine, here are a few things from the last couple of weeks that made me smile: Spring has sprung! It’s warm enough to open windows and with the star jasmine in full bloom the whole house ends up smelling just fabulous! Stepping into the backyard to water... Continue Reading →
Ah yes, the dreaded end of year list. Hey, be happy I'm only doing end of year, not DECADE - gawd, those are already gnawing at my sanity! Also, since I am totally a Power Of Positive Thinking (POPT forever!) kind of gal, and because I already did my airing of grievances, well this is... Continue Reading →
SB snapped the picture too soon but the battery was running out so I'm sucking up and posting this icky one. Post 5k walk just now. Which seems pretty short after doing a few 3-days and doing a few 5 mile walks just for fun this year, but it was my first 'event' walk in... Continue Reading →
My youngest accused me yesterday of being "obsessed" with Adam from American Idol. Yes, and? What's the problem with that little boy? It's funny how seriously irritated he gets at me for it. It's also funny how easy it is to tease him about it! Look kiddo, it's a fun distraction which brings me some... Continue Reading →
I tell ya, if not for blog stats showing me that more peeps than ever are clicking in, over the past month or so I would think that I am largely talking to myself 🙂 Now, I could start stomping my feet throwing a hissy fit and such and order you all to "COMMENT dammit!"... Continue Reading →
First though, evidence of a klutzy moment in my life today. Wii Fit is dangerous!! Ok, it's not the Wii Fit. It's me. My current workout with the Wii Fit is to do the Free Step aerobic program while watching tv. I incorporate my 4lb hand weight routine while I do the stepping. It's easy... Continue Reading →
