Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Why? Do you see that hole in the plastic cover on that prepared sauce? Do you see the sauce on the tips of the scissors that I used to start the cut in the plastic? Why? Because no matter how much I tried to break the seal from the nice little flap that was left,... Continue Reading →
The topic tonight: Spam. Since about 7:00am - 12 hours - 61 messages have accumulated in my yahoo account. The subject matter covers the usual spectrum of enticing products/services: Personal growth (appendage enlargement), Healthcare (questionable pharmacuetical products, some related to the hopefully enlarged appendage), Entertainment (women in varying stages of..you know), Financial growth (coupons for...

I know, November is over and I don't *have* to post today. But, it's a habit now! All day my fingers have itched and it's nagged at me that I need to post. Guess it will take a couple of days for that to wear off. Still, I would have posted these pics anyway since... Continue Reading →

I wrote them down and will use in December when it will otherwise be too hectic to be creative 🙂 SportsBoy came home from 6th grade camp today. To rain and more rain. Actually, it started...

After a safe few nights with the tree and cats co-existing without any damage inflicted, I opened the ornament boxes tonight and hung un-breakable only ornaments on the upper half. I *did* push the envelope a little with a mobile merry-go-round ornament, but it's up quite high. Chip stared at it for awhile and Amber... Continue Reading →
If you've spent any time visiting here, you know that I am not religious at all. However, last night, I was in the presence of a god. The God of Guitars. Edward Van Halen. Anyone who has *any* appreciation of rock music has got to see this man play in person. His guitar solo is... Continue Reading →
Yep, that was it. Creamed. Shellacked. Stunned. Outplayed all around by an older team. A true Division 1 squad stacked with 20 2-year players. Meaning lots of 11-12 year olds. We only have 3 12 year olds, a few 11s and mostly 10s and then 3 9 year olds. It showed. Experience matters. They knew... Continue Reading →
Beginning at 9:30am pst, it will officially be 40 (game) minutes to Florida. Text messages will go out again same as last week once I have a minute. It's going to be a crazy day no matter what the results since I will be working at a booth at the field from 2-4 to raise... Continue Reading →
