Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Long term readers may recall that SportsBoy has a tendencey to, oh, not do his schoolwork. And then to lie about it. Happens at least once a year. Of course, in elementary school they coddled him a bit. Let him get away with turning in late work and still getting full credit. Until last year... Continue Reading →
(Keeping it light because every other place on the internets is yapping about the economy and no matter which side of the political fence you sit on, it's a pretty depressing situation and a terribly rushed over blown solution currently being presented. So...forget that!) Under the heading of, yeah, we knew that already - today... Continue Reading →
Oh boy - I have to be straight up and point out that the recent week on FactCheck shows the Obama campaign floating some pretty decent whoppers and spin jobs of it's own in their ads. Argh! Prior to that, it had been almost a 75/25 split with McCain spinning the biggest whoppers in his... Continue Reading →

Writing does not come naturally to me, but I like and want it to... Continue Reading →
Amber is a pretty affectionate cat with the family by nature. She is typically in my lap at least once during the the evening if I settle on the sofa to watch tv. Last night she was in a particularly 'love me love me' mood. I was calling her velcro kitty because she was on... Continue Reading →
Last night was the Jr High open house. I was able to get there early and while I was wandering around, I spied a familiar face. The lady who owns the pre-school that SportsBoy attended from the time he was 2 until he started kindergarten. She was there because her grandson is in the 8th... Continue Reading →
I was going to write a very poofy post about how much fun it is to take my car in to the dealer and have a loaner car for a few days. You know - the fun of change and something new temporarily and all that. FWIW - having even an older Mercedes means the... Continue Reading →
