Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
All pictures except for the bird taken with my Blackberry as I went on about a 5 mile walk around the neighborhood around 4 this afternoon. This is what is blooming in people's yards right now 🙂 Snapdragons at the entrance to the Catholic church A common succulent used as hillside landscaping - a large... Continue Reading →
LSM taught me that you can specific search blogs (vs web or images) when you do a Google search. You just have to click that little "more" button on the right and you get a drop down menu of more options for places to search. Hah! I've been Googling for ages and did not know... Continue Reading →
That's it - just eh! Nothing much to write about really. Piano is being tuned tomorrow. I played it a little just now to see if I will be able to notice a difference. It hasn't been tuned in years, but then I haven't played in years - how many of you think I will... Continue Reading →
 Preamble again! I giggled in sisterly pain today while reading Nance over at Dysfunction Junction when she used the term "whore-moans". Oh yes, they are on the rise here! I have battled a sinus headache attack with excedrin, ibuprofen and Claritin D. The pain and general ickiness left around 3:00pm, but then the Claritin D... Continue Reading →

Instead of spending bandwidth on that drivel, how about we... Continue Reading →
While sitting at my parent's desk doing their taxes last week, I noticed that my dad keeps a classic To Do list for each day. He has a notepad with a list of numbered lines with the title "To do for today" or something similar. A great organizational tool to be sure. I know SweetPrince... Continue Reading →
You know those scuff marks that your shoes make on hard surface floors? Especially if you have new shoes with fresh heels? Can someone please explain to me why there is one on the toilet seat in one of the ladies room stalls here at work? kthxbye
Oops! The morning got away from me as I puttered in my yard and planted some seeds. I should have bragged yesterday additionally about some spring cleaning that MusicMan did on Friday. He completely cleaned out the garage! We could*almost* fit two cars in there but more importantly I can get into my cupboards! So... Continue Reading →
Ah, a challenge has been issued by Dawn. I figure since I had something to write about that was sort of showing off something new, that this will meet her challenge and then I don't have to think of it the rest of the month! Signs of Spring in my house actually started with the... Continue Reading →
