Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
This statement may be a wee bit too harsh...but...then again, maybe not. I tend to think of rumor mongers more as simply lazy/chatty folks with way too much time on their hands. They are also more than a little bit gullible. And perhaps lacking a modicum of logic. Having worked at the same place my... Continue Reading →
Catching up from last week, I put $7.25 into the change fund so that is up over $44 as we rolled into Feb. If I can keep up a $40/mo total I will be plenty happy at Christmas! FWIW, what I do is get $20 cash every Sunday just to have something on hand for... Continue Reading →
Photo by @KCAlfredphoto Torrey Pines golf course at sunset. I thought this photo was perfect - I was going to look for something that depicted "swamped" or "rat race" but really, in keeping with my NO Whining & NO Gasbags motto for 2013, I must say that while I will need to maintain a...

I will be the first person to look back at the last 2.5 months and say, yeah...I've not been as consistent as I would have liked on being at work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. Because I HAD to turn in vacation time so I don't lose it. Because I've had to... Continue Reading →
Starting off with the beauty since the rest of the day was pretty lacking in it. Ok, not entirely true, the beach I whizzed by in the car on the way to and from work was pretty darn gorgeous but there was no chance to stop and take a photo. The jacaranda tree is the... Continue Reading →
Jeebus - on what is essentially day one of my Merry Month of May Journal, I nearly failed. Was about to close this puppy up and head upstairs because - yeah...did you see that title? Around midnight last night I woke up with my heart racing and realized that from the time I fell "asleep"... Continue Reading →
I know, I know, you are dying to know how the 5k went after all that build up. So, to dispense with that - Alex finished in 22:40, I finished in 33:16 - we both thought the last hill was hell - however, I actually kept running (albeit more slowly) up the whole thing whereas is... Continue Reading →
Now, this isn't going to be your usual list of rules. At this point, we all know them right? Actually what I am curious about which rules are you OK with breaking and why. So - to the polls! What prompted this is a regular meeting we have where one person ALWAYS has their phone,... Continue Reading →
Just got out of a meeting and I have to wonder - do I work in a TV show? In the room we had Soft talker - you know the ones - voices that barely muster something above a whisper and sometimes fade in and out? Right - and ours was *conducting* the meeting -... Continue Reading →
As I alluded to in an earlier post, there have been um..."issues" with the plumbing in the ladies rooms in the basement. I use the term "ladies" quite loosely. Toilets left un-flushed, or not completely flushed, toilet paper rolls almost never replaced (seriously, go in there after 3:30 and you will inevitable see two empty... Continue Reading →
