Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I can totally relate to Garfield. Not about raisins - for me, it's mushrooms. And for some reason recently I've encountered way too many of them in my food! The taste/feel of them in my mouth literally makes me want to spit them out like the image above. Why why WHY are they in so... Continue Reading →
A tweet I sent yesterday: "Guy sitting next to me here at work just broke into whistling, humming, then singing....O...K.." While the musical interlude got quiet very soon thereafter, the last 30 minutes has provided a pretty steady stream of whistling. Little, random bursts. We've both got headphones on since I'm listening to the Padres... Continue Reading →
I actually had plans for a couple of posts - and I still need to write about the Three Snake Hike - but my week off from work was primarily to catch some of SB's baseball games and I was treated to FOUR thanks to some rain outs from the week before. Therefore in between... Continue Reading →
I figured since I already ran into a couple of people who were not aware of the time change this weekend that I better post it to provide a community service 🙂 Sat night/Sunday morning - we spring forward folks. Losing an hour. Begin cursing now. Not that any of us have clocks that... Continue Reading →
As I was sweeping the floor downstairs just now, I hear SB say, out loud into his microphone because he is playing Xbox Live with other players "What the FUCK?!" I sigh and continue sweeping and think about how it was when I was a teen, and you think you are out of earshot of... Continue Reading →
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 →
With proper planning and a little self discipline, you CAN get through a pay period without buying food from the cafeteria at work. A 14 year old boy CAN make it through a 2.5 hour baseball scrimmage/tryout, a 1 hour circuit workout and a 1 hour cycle class on just two pieces of toast and... Continue Reading →
I put as my status last night on Facebook & Twitter "Every once in awhile you get a reminder that you share the planet with some really awesome people." I think at a certain level we all know that, right? I personally have not encountered anyone who, in an hour of great need, did not... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I felt particularly thankful that I've put myself back into the reading habit and that I had a book to pick up in a moment of need. I was also thankful that I had setup a new reading corner in my living room (since the bedroom version was lost with the new king sized... Continue Reading →
An August mom's New Year's resolution to learn/try something new every day in 2011 to honor a lost friend (and to blog about it at One New Thing) got me thinking how truly awesome that resolution is. Not that I will totally steal it from her, but I know that it's been on my mind... Continue Reading →
