Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I discovered a new element to twitter. It’s a great way to gauge reactions to big events. Kind of like a grand social science experiment. The Super Bowl was the perfect example. I think only about 5 of the 200+ who I follow did not watch it. All those who did were certainly tweeting about... Continue Reading →
This topic inspired by Robin, who wonders if her life is too boring for blogging. to which I replied: "Honey, all our lives are too boring for blogging!"

Eye shadow to be specific. And yeah, I found it odd. But why would I find that odd? I mean, don't most women... Continue Reading →
My workplace has become very entertaining. Earlier this week we had the Mystery of the Missing Phone Chord. Last month we had the Mystery of the Scuff Mark. Today we have another bathroom mystery. It's the middle of the day, the janitors have not come around and wont until after hours. So eliminate that from... Continue Reading →
