Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
With a break for lunch, transporting Sportsboy to and from practice and then to a friend's for a sleepover, and dinner, these pictures show what I have done from 10:00am until 9:30pm today: Front Side Back Weak attempt at night photo: Inside - tree and mantle in beginning stages. Amber is at that moment more... Continue Reading →
As I have been working from home the last three days, I have been sitting in my dining area facing the french doors that look out onto my rather tiny back yard. Mostly I have been watching the leaves flutter off of the peach tree in the corner, but I've also watched some hummingbirds visiting... Continue Reading →
What is FDAD? It's the other version of Thanksgiving - Family Dysfunction Awareness Day! I know that a few of my friends will enjoy that since they are facing some errr...'challenges' during this holiday weekend 🙂 I'm trying to take some time to catch up on reading all my favorite blog sites today. It's literally... Continue Reading →
Hard to see in that top picture, but there is "blood" oozing down the face of that mask. He is out and about with one of his football buddies right now while I cook dinner and give out candy. I've made my house look nice and spooky inside too by lighting all my candles on... Continue Reading →

This rant has nothing whatsoever to do with the holidays. Oh, but I am frustrated though! All I want is a vacation with my man. I want him away from all the distractions which he too damn compliant about. People to whom he cannot say "no" and therefore I lose time with him. Do you... Continue Reading →
I finished my shopping and wrapping tonight. There is the tree now surrounded by packages. I cheated a little 🙂 I usually stock up A's bookcase at Christmas and I had a little fun wrapping some of the books individually. Hey, it was a great way to use those scraps you always save to wrap... Continue Reading →
Here it is. The picture does not really do it justice since it is so hard to get the proper focus. It really really sparkles in the sun! He has wonderful taste in jewelry for sure. Christmas Day was very nice. DS2 was up early..said he woke up at 6:00 and tried to sleep more,... Continue Reading →
