Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
With a break for lunch, transporting Sportsboy to and from practice and then to a friend's for a sleepover, and dinner, these pictures show what I have done from 10:00am until 9:30pm today: Front Side Back Weak attempt at night photo: Inside - tree and mantle in beginning stages. Amber is at that moment more... Continue Reading →
As I have been working from home the last three days, I have been sitting in my dining area facing the french doors that look out onto my rather tiny back yard. Mostly I have been watching the leaves flutter off of the peach tree in the corner, but I've also watched some hummingbirds visiting... Continue Reading →
What is FDAD? It's the other version of Thanksgiving - Family Dysfunction Awareness Day! I know that a few of my friends will enjoy that since they are facing some errr...'challenges' during this holiday weekend 🙂 I'm trying to take some time to catch up on reading all my favorite blog sites today. It's literally... Continue Reading →
My apologies for getting a bit deep today, but while reading Cheers & Jeers on DailyKos this morning, I came upon this poem by a member who I often love to read as she has given me great insight and understanding on the lives of trans gender people. She posted this in honor of the... Continue Reading →
First, work from home on Thanksgiving week since schools are closed.

20-16. They did it AGAIN!! Pulled another victory out of their hats. Our very good buddy #12 who is our kicker as well as plays offense and defense had just an amazing game. Several critial 3rd down catches, a key interception and a couple of great game saving tackles. My #55 was not as sharp... Continue Reading →
At 11:00am pst Saturday just send out a "Go GOLDEN Falcons!" please. Make sure you say GOLDEN. The team we are playing is also the Falcons so a generic Go Falcons could end up on the wrong sideline - wouldn't want that!! I will be on the road all day, not getting home until probably...

At least, I think I did? The auction event went really well. Attendance and gross receipts from the items is significantly higher than last year and perhaps close to one of the best years. I'll finish the detailed analysis tonight, but the down and dirty count at midnight was promising. I even won a couple... Continue Reading →
I am stealing a meme I found perusing NaBloPoMo because I need inspiration (and I need to get it done before the auction!) Interestingly, I share some answers with the blogger who used this as well! 1. What is your motto? Live and let live. 2. What superhuman power would you like to have? Thanks... Continue Reading →
