Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
This will have to be quick as I am fading fast. The day started at the vet with Chip the peeing cat. As the vet examined him and started rattling off the list of test she wanted to run (and I saw my savings account draining as she spoke), she had the stethoscope on him... Continue Reading →
What? You thought I could go two posts without saying the "A" word? Well, it's not my fault! Remember my kid who got all tied up in knots when I was hyper-ventillating every Tuesday night? The one who called me 'obsessed' and rolled his eyes and groaned and moaned and yelled in protest " NO... Continue Reading →
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 →
The Good: Arriving early and watching both teams during batting practice. We sat in an area of right field called The Porch which is prime home run target area for left handed hitters.

I'm stealing from my Goodreads reviews 🙂 Here is what I wrote in December after finishing Hillary Clinton's Living History: I am so glad I read this! For a non-fiction book, it almost reads like a fictional story. Hillary dose a great job describing the people and places in her life. Those eight years in... Continue Reading →
\ This is where I was at 5:45. Sitting in the sun watching batting practice. This is where Sportsboy was. Prepping the field for the opening ceremonies. View from our seats. Traditional photo of Sportsboy with the scoreboard in the background on Opening Night. A kind usher volunteered to take this picture of us so... Continue Reading →
First Spring Training game being broadcast on the radio. The sounds of bat on ball. The cheers of the crowd. Even sitting here at my desk in the basement I can smell the grass and cotton candy and hot dogs and feel the sun on my face. Mmmmmmm...life is good!
For my friends who are Sex and the City Fans but who may also not have seen this yet. Made me squeal in anticipation! **NEVERMIND!** The YouTube video has been taken down thanks to a copyright infringement complaint by New Line Cinemas. I guess I was lucky to see it while it was still alive... Continue Reading →
