Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Actually, I got nuthin today. Or tomorrow, or.... Unless someone wants to suggest something.... 'Cause other than work I'm just wandering around wondering whatever SB and I will do with ourselves with no football practices & game to prepare for this week.... Other than me doing my best not to need a tissue when I... Continue Reading →
Ladies - which means all of my readers except for maybe 2? - do you know a male chauvinist pig? Are you often surprised when you encounter one? You know what I mean right? A guy who never *says* anything really wrong, but just makes your skin crawl and delivers the message through body language... Continue Reading →
As I slowly return to reality post-concert, it occurred to me that I need to rant a bit about something I kind of glossed over in my long concert review. This concerns concert etiquette. Here are some things that are sure to set me off if you are around me at a concert: Drinking Eating... Continue Reading →
OK, not that kind, this kind: Also the kind you get as comments on your blog if you have one. So here's the discussion - why in the blazes do they spend ungodly amounts of time and money sending out these things? Have you ever really looked at them? Who would EVER bite on these...

I tell ya, if not for blog stats showing me that more peeps than ever are clicking in, over the past month or so I would think that I am largely talking to myself 🙂 Now, I could start stomping my feet throwing a hissy fit and such and order you all to "COMMENT dammit!"... Continue Reading →

Why? Because while watching... Continue Reading →
The day has not gone as planned. There have been some...curves 🙂 Which required a lot of patience. Which I don't tend to have tons of on hand most of the time. It all started Thursday night when sometimes during the last 30 mins of Gray's Anatomy, the internet went gablooe. It had been going... Continue Reading →
Ohhhhhhhhhh! OK, I kid a little. My Sweet Prince has done an excellent job over the years with this holiday. Roses (both live plants and the cut flowers), jewelry, teddy bears - all very lovely things. But by and large I do tend to look at this as a huge gretting card industry endeavor. Because...

I had the oddest insomnia Sunday night. Yeah, Sunday night - right before going back to work after 12 days off. Figures eh? You don't have sleep interruptions when you can actually sleep in or take a nap. No, you get it the night you finally have to get back to work! Of course. Now,... Continue Reading →
These musings stem from a conversation that started in Austin with my sweet roommate MissMusicNerd. She opined that these days everyone has some form of ADD. That the world has become so fast paced it is the only way we can keep up. So I started paying attention (hah, get it?) to how my days... Continue Reading →
