Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Note to self: - no matter HOW tempting it is to get one those big ass cookies from the cafeteria after lunch - DON'T. I'm pretty sure the amount of will power it takes to push past the sugar drop from that thing and remain focused at work is greater then pushing myself to keep... Continue Reading →
In my quest to learn as much as I can about web marketing and copy writing and those new adventurous things I'm trying to do to help me earn more money for things like, oh, cats and their clogged up bladders (ahem) - I watched part 1 of a video series specifically on copy writing....

Arrived today! Of course I've been listening to the tracks streaming on his website since last week, but now I get to blast it in the car and finally load it on my phone and not be at the whims of a web stream. I'm pretty much guaranteed to love everything he sings - especially... Continue Reading →
Getting this up early because I intend to crack open a book and read the rest of the night and don't want to forget. Sometimes, we need to assess the status of a day and decide that some items on the to do list just need to be dropped or pushed off a bit in... Continue Reading →
Mother's Day is tomorrow, but I am declaring that I celebrated mine today. 26 and I had a great day together (along with the aforementioned friend I took in to work yesterday). I lounged in bed.

It's funny because I was going to post something on my political site about the one issue that has disappointed me with this President in terms of lack of courage and leadership. No need for that post anymore 🙂 Really - is there anything else to say about the day? Being the political junkie that... Continue Reading →
I did it - woke up and ran the 3.2 mile loop along the trail near my house. And oh, was it hard! I purposefully didn't wear the heart monitor because I wanted to go slow and not even look at my time along the way. I have enough of a touch of OCD or... Continue Reading →
I woke up feeling every single one of those wheel barrows that Tanja had us do during circuit training. My upper back and shoulders are barking LOUDLY. I thought it would be my legs but no - that will probably be tomorrow. When I will wake up early and run before work. You heard it... Continue Reading →
Last year at this time we had just finished up a wellness campaign at work where we counted our steps on a pedometer. There were conversion rates from other types of exercise into steps. I loved that things like gardening & vacuuming were on there. Because doing an hour of floor cleaning sure as hell... Continue Reading →
