It's an odd thing when someone frays your last nerve. It takes a lot for that happen to me. You see, I am an optimist by nature. Power Of Positive Thinking (POPT) and all that. Now, I am not unrealistically so. Not Pollyanna. It's just that my way of dealing with life is to think... Continue Reading →
Happy Cinco de Drinko de Adoption Day!
I could also throw in Happy Gay Marriage in Maine Day since the Maine house voted to support a gay marraige initiative, but they still need the Governor to sign to make that Official so I'll hold off the true celebration just yet. No, what REALLY has my heart filled with joy is the arrival... Continue Reading →
Blessed rain
One would think from reading here and knowing about my typically busy lifestyle centered on my son's sports activities that a 4 day block of rain would be most unwelcomed especially over the weekend. However, given the week I've had, I said Bring It On! It was just one of those weeks. A couple of... Continue Reading →
Do we share a memory?
I'm most likely going to be tapped out due to an intense week at work so I am stealing this meme from Facebook (I did also post it there): Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, just anything you remember! Don't... Continue Reading →
It’s over!
Taken with the zoom function on my Blackberry @ about 4:45pm as we were setting up for the Silent Auction party to benefit Sports Boy's baseball club (yeah, the one that won that epic 14 inning game) I love how the water is just so calm and catches the reflections of the clouds - driving...

Concert memories – You have the tickets, right?
As I type this, SportsBoy is enjoying his Christmas gift from his dad - they are at the AC/DC concert in LA tonight! It's his first rock concert and of course it HAD to be that band since his dad and I have been poisoning him with their music for a very long time :-)... Continue Reading →
The thankful list + paintings
Family - though scattered around today, all are healthy and happy and safe A good man - hard to find and harder to hold onto, but I've managed it for another year 😉 Friends - local and scattered, August moms, C&Jers, MTers, and bloggy types. My kitties - purr babies spreading fur and love every... Continue Reading →
Wedding for the undead
About 13 years ago I was going through the latest alumni directory for my high school in search of my best friend from those years. The Yin to my Yang. The walking heart with blonde hair and huge blue eyes and the fastest smile and laugh of anyone I'd ever met. The trouble maker ;-)... Continue Reading →
Another glorious day of hiking
I rewarded myself for working mad hours this week by taking off at 2:45 yesterday and meeting two friends at Torrey Pines. One was from out of town - camera in hand much like Robin! - and the other lives here though is a recent transplant from the mid west. Of course, that fabulous book... Continue Reading →
A perfect day off
Thanks to a visit by Robin, I got to spend a day off work doing my most favorite thing - touring coastal San Diego's most beautiful view points. She takes the most beautiful pictures so I did not even bother trying to compete, but a couple of times I could not resist so these are... Continue Reading →
