Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Before I lose my status as Little Miss Sunshine, here are a few things from the last couple of weeks that made me smile: Spring has sprung! It’s warm enough to open windows and with the star jasmine in full bloom the whole house ends up smelling just fabulous! Stepping into the backyard to water... Continue Reading →
I remember when Jacqueline got this chair. There were originally two. She picked them up from a nearby consignment store and they were the perfect match to her dark red leather sofa and the deep blues in much of her southwest themed decor. I loved those chairs. So did her dog, Bailey 🙂 So much... Continue Reading →
In an unusual display of weather in San Diego this week, we've now had 4 days of often intense rain coupled with REALLY intense wind. There were even tornado warnings a couple of days ago along the coast from Long Beach down to the Tijuana border. Every time I have to drive in it, I... Continue Reading →
I suppose that's a good thing as it means no drama. Actually, today being a holiday, and with it raining, I am actually free to read. Funny isn't though, that if you have no alarm to wake you up, no pressing reason to actually leave the bed (other than inevitable hunger) and no where particularly... Continue Reading →
I'm just full of advice these days aren't I? 🙂 I don't really have much to bitch about when it comes to my daily commute to/from work.

Older son knew one boy and was invited to the service but only the boy's friends were invited, not the friend's parents... Continue Reading →
The lovely Amuirin bestowed this award upon me some time ago. I don't really know how long ago since this post will be written over time. Here's why: "When you get the Honest Scrap award, you are meant to grace your readers with 10 honest things about yourself, and then pass on the award to... Continue Reading →
I really need a vacation. Not the visiting with friends and sightseeing kind as I will soon have which will be wonderful, but....I really need a do nothing vacation. Preferrably with the boyfriend. A cruise would be perfect of course. Sadly, the soonest I will have any chunk of nothingness will be after Christmas. The... 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 →
