Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It started as soon as I got back home from my run: "I need to remember to water the plants & fill the bird feeder" I didn't want to do that at that moment since I needed to shower and eat some breakfast because I was famished. So I tucked that into a corner of... Continue Reading →
I've had occasion recently to notice the vast range of differences between individuals. Sure, we all know those exist on a large level, but these were examples that to me were more granular and pretty amusing. Some time ago on Facebook I posted this status "Hey, did anyone catch the license plate # of the... Continue Reading →
Another workout picture from the cycle class on Wed night - which they do AFTER we spend an hour of circuit training! I must admit to being mighty impressed that they all keep up! SB is the second head on the left with his new (old) bike. So - what I learned this week. I... Continue Reading →
It is 2010 (hell, almost 2011!!) and we live in an era when over generalizations and stereotyping are quite politically incorrect and often downright offensive. Lord knows we women sure know how to scream FOUL at blood curdling levels when ANY sort of judgment is passed on our behavior based on gender biases. We SCREAM.... Continue Reading →
So, unless you were hiding under a rock (or, perhaps don't know anyone who is into video gaming or you don't watch commercials on TV), then you may have been aware that a Big New Much Anticipated video game came out this week. SportsBoy has been talking about it since before summer. He prepaid $5... Continue Reading →
That title & image are what are known as teases - because no, I really don't want to talk some smack. Odd, huh? I've been a big fan of Jim Rome for well over 15 years now. I love listening to smack talk between fans. It can be oh so creative & funny. Yet, I... Continue Reading →
How cool is it that the first official day of No School for the kids is also the first official day of summer? The longest day of the year. The Summer Solstice. Midsommar for the Nordic types 🙂 Given that I am neither a kid, nor a stay at home mom, the impact of summer's... Continue Reading →
I've seen this term thrown around a lot recently. Especially in the entertainment industry when someone's clothes/music/style/acting is criticized. The person leveling the criticism is automatically labeled as a 'hater'. Sometimes I think it's accurate because there will be a pattern of the same person picking at the same celebrity so that there is clearly... Continue Reading →
I was catching up with some friends at a dinner a couple of weeks ago and I was asked a question that made me pause for a concrete answer: "So what are you doing with all your free time now that you are not volunteering - other than reading books again?" Well..... It's not that... Continue Reading →
Pardon me for a moment while I bitch about a bitch who frequently starts into her moments with the phrase "I don't mean to be a bitch, but..." Because after a lotta years of being around this person I think I can safely say she fits the definition. I truly do hate to call anyone... Continue Reading →
