Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Flowers from the backyard this weekend. Mini daffodils and star jasmine. The jasmine are taking over the back wall totally now and I love it. I have a very tiny yard - more of an extended patio vs a real yard in the back and it smells so lovely right now. I spent a couple... Continue Reading →
Taking a break from current events commentary finally to update general stuff going on 🙂 We are in full baseball season routine these days. Little League practice has started (2x a week + batting cages) and travel ball continues with a tournament in Huntington Beach this weekend. We have president's days off tomorrow and Monday...

No time to blog today. Laptop died as soon as I got to work. I have a new one, but it will take all day to catch up on work and get this one loaded with all the proper programs and settings. I do promise to take notes on American Idol tonight! It really IS... Continue Reading →
After many weeks of strictly indoor exercise thanks to rain and schedule conflicts, I finally got out for a walk this morning. I didn't get moving until after 10:00, but it was nice to be lazy and putter first. After much indecision about what route to take and what to bring with me, I finally... Continue Reading →
Perhaps I should be more specific. Basement Cubicle Workers take note: When your perfume budget requires you to shop at Pic n Save - do not take a shower in it in the bathroom at work.

The nurse said his vitals remained strong throughout and when we glanced in at him, his color was good and other... Continue Reading →
You know how they say that the answers to your prayers may not be what you originally requested? Well, the angioplasty revealed arteries blocked 80-90%. IOW - he got in to the hospital just in time and is very very lucky that this is how it was found. So now a triple bypass is scheduled... Continue Reading →
OK everyone out there in the land of 1s and 0s. I need your prayers, healing thoughts and overall good vibrations at exactly 7:30am pst tomorrow OK? Aim them at my dad. He has been having shortness of breath more and more recently and this weekend it happened often enough that my mom said "enough!"... Continue Reading →
It's a gray, icky day off. The kind of gray that makes you lazy. I don't want to do anything but lay down and read. Unfortunately the reason I am home is because Sportsboy has the next two days off with school closed. And he is in the middle of his electronic restriction thanks to... Continue Reading →
