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 was the post I was in the middle of writing last week before..well..stuff happened *** This month began the High School open enrollment period in Sports Boy's school district. Yep. High. School. Even though I am pretty sure that picture above was taken yesterday. Or, the reality could be that all those visible... Continue Reading →
Ah yes, the dreaded end of year list. Hey, be happy I'm only doing end of year, not DECADE - gawd, those are already gnawing at my sanity! Also, since I am totally a Power Of Positive Thinking (POPT forever!) kind of gal, and because I already did my airing of grievances, well this is... Continue Reading →
No, you don't have to dress in a funny blue dog suit. No, you just get the OTHER guy in the picture to remind the boy that he used to like doing that 🙂 Recently, I'd noted that SportsBoy had rather subtly backed away from a few little-boyish things. Like having me read to him... Continue Reading →
Why I love this show I think I've watched this scene either on my own tv or else on this video clip about 5 times since last night. And danced to it every time of course! OK, yes, this is me talking with the 13 year old part of my brain now 🙂 This is... Continue Reading →
Holy hell. OK, so yeah, now I am writing about Grey's Anatomy. Another tv show. What? I spent all last year on heavy political topics, can't I have some time spent on shallower things? Not that I write this FOR anyone mind you. Oh yeah, then why are you apologizing for your chosen topic? Bah!... Continue Reading →
This week's show was largely disappointing with just a couple of high spots. I voted for those two high spots and sure enough they moved on. Lil Rounds has an aura of professionalism and polish much like Melinda Doolittle from two years ago (top 3). Lil is even *better* though because she has more spark... Continue Reading →
One would think from reading here and knowing about my typically busy lifestyle centered on my son's sports activities that a 4 day block of rain would be most unwelcomed especially over the weekend. However, given the week I've had, I said Bring It On! It was just one of those weeks. A couple of... Continue Reading →
We are kind of at the 1/2 way point in 2008 for the election season and I am....bored. Tired. Burnt out. Nothing new *really* happened this week other than more and more people now rather openly recognizing who the final two are (no, I do not mean David vs David!!) Obama and McCain have been...

I hab a cod. (sniffle). Yes, I got through the entire flu season unscathed only to catch a cold this week. Blech. Good thing there was so much on tv to entertain me with the Padres tanking yet again, yet another primary and now this. Can you believe there are only two more weeks of... Continue Reading →
