Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
So a little while ago I shared this from our hike at Torrey Pines. I want to post it again to provide a contrast. Even if I took this photo to show then entire San Diego coastline it would essentially look like this. Nothing on the horizon. OK, now lets see some pictures from my... Continue Reading →
After many weeks of strictly indoor exercise thanks to rain and schedule conflicts, I finally got out for a walk this morning. I didn't get moving until after 10:00, but it was nice to be lazy and putter first. After much indecision about what route to take and what to bring with me, I finally... Continue Reading →
Perhaps I should be more specific. Basement Cubicle Workers take note: When your perfume budget requires you to shop at Pic n Save - do not take a shower in it in the bathroom at work. That kind of stench spreads faster than a red stain on a white shirt. Remember the Brylcream ads? A... Continue Reading →
Political Joke Break: Apparently Mike Huckabee made an analogy in the last GOP debate between the never found WMD's in Iraq and never found Easter eggs.

I just don't quite know what to make of this. All I know is that as I read it, I could feel myself tensing internally. Then I reached this part: "I said, 'Tre, you missed the bear,' " Mike Merritt said. "He said, 'Paw-paw I squeezed the trigger and I didn't close my eyes. I... Continue Reading →
It's funny sometimes how totally independent conversations drop topics into your mind that rattle around for a few days. Even funnier when they come to life 🙂 Friday evening I had a long chat with a friend I had not spoken to in awhile. We got caught up on things and then somehow it came... Continue Reading →
Why? Do you see that hole in the plastic cover on that prepared sauce? Do you see the sauce on the tips of the scissors that I used to start the cut in the plastic? Why? Because no matter how much I tried to break the seal from the nice little flap that was left,... Continue Reading →
The topic tonight: Spam. Since about 7:00am - 12 hours - 61 messages have accumulated in my yahoo account. The subject matter covers the usual spectrum of enticing products/services: Personal growth (appendage enlargement), Healthcare (questionable pharmacuetical products, some related to the hopefully enlarged appendage), Entertainment (women in varying stages of..you know), Financial growth (coupons for...
