Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Yes, it does feel like we are up the Torrey Pines with the birds 🙂 In fact, there was an Oregon Junco sitting on the branch just outside my window on Monday morning just singing away. I might need to keep a checklist of birds spotted from my desk while we are here! It's... Continue Reading →
Don't you wish there was a scratch & sniff computer app? That jasmine is so wonderful. Yes, that's the same plant that I had to chop down to nearly nothing before the fence was put in late in 2011. There were a few small branches of blooms last year, but this year, I think... Continue Reading →
All good ones! I was finally able to arrange for the disposal of an oversized, hand me down and out of shape set of furniture in my living room. The love seat and chair were rarely both in use and the love seat would only be in use if both 17 and I were watching... Continue Reading →
I have missed writing so much! In any form, be it here in journal format, the assigned writing I did for the MOOC course I took in the Spring, or the more structured blog posts submitted on Blogmutt. Heck, I don’t even get to tweet in those little 140 character bursts of thought hardly at... Continue Reading →
The exciting news this week was confirmation from "upstairs" that the office I was hoping to get in the targeted move for our area is indeed mine.

We had to specifically use a certain number of sentences and parts of speech and such, but I thought "hey, since that's the way I am thinking right now, why not share scenes?" Seriously, just...

Check out the new addition to my LinkedIn profile! Yes, I managed to earn enough writing points (by essentially selling enough posts) to get up to Level 5. Wahoo! I originally hoped to make it there in June, but I've continually surpassed my writing goals these first 3 months. This will come to a... Continue Reading →
I posted on my Facebook status today, just this one word: Frazzled. My brain has had to be so ON the last 3 days - that I can feel the synapses burning from overuse. A football meeting directly after work on Monday followed by more work I had to complete from home that wasn't done... Continue Reading →
Heh - I was reaching for the alliteration to be complete in the title and just couldn't get there. New habit check in to start: $55 in the change kitty as of this weekend. However, work outs? Oh, utter fail. I was thrashed after the 10 mile run and the Wednesday half day run didn't... Continue Reading →
