Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Amber hiding her face from the weekend. Or something. I sure wish I could have done that! Ok, well only parts of it. The parties were awesome. Great times with great people. Just a tad too much for me possibly. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. Sat night I was out until 2am. In my... Continue Reading →
I think the creative juices are on pause until the practical things are done to prepare for next week. Things like buying gifts at stores that you thought were going to be shipped in time but then you get an email on Friday saying "shipping 1/23/09" which causes you to curse out loud. Thanks a...

If not for Holidailies, I would be skipping today as I have total Friday brain drain. Luckily, I took a few pictures at the beach post rain storm which I can share. Perhaps this will warm up those of you with that cold, white stuff on the ground - which seems to be all over... Continue Reading →
Last night my dad sent along these notes they found from a psychic reading they had done on me when I was 2. How cool is that? 42 years later and we can compare notes! Not being terribly shy about this stuff, my first thought was "blog post!" Notes are in precise sequence as spoken... Continue Reading →
Have you noticed the header? Yeah, I am updating it periodically as more cards arrive. Watch for yours if you sent me one! I feel the need to balance out the ultra girly Velvet/hair post with a more realistic representation of the true tomboy that I was as a child. So if you really must... Continue Reading →

Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in. This makes you an individualist of the highest order,... Continue Reading →
Because I am head over heels right now with Harvey Milk: Ok, well to be honest about the new love of my life, this is the version I fell for tonight: Photo by Greg Hefner ::swoon:: <thunk> OK, I'm back now. Can you tell I just saw Milk? Have you seen it? GO! NOW! (Clearly... Continue Reading →
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...

This is a Holidailies prompt from a couple of days ago, but I've decided to make my own rules (shocking isn't it?) and use promts as I need them even if they are late. I do promise not to jump ahead 🙂 Dear Santa, How are things up there? I know, you are swamped. I... Continue Reading →
Have you seen this year's version of the Lexus holiday commercials? Where the adult receiving the shiny new car with the enormous bow on top flashes back to a Christmas past when they received some other awesome gift? Well those inspired me to think about gifts I received as a child that stick out in... Continue Reading →
