Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
From Friday afternoon's Spring Flag Football game. They started practicing just after baseball ended. He has again earned a starting spot at wide receiver and word is that they will be throwing more at the JV level. Lets hope! Of course, the photographer got there late and only caught a few pics of him once... Continue Reading →
I've been following a blog about a cat lovin' woman in Alabama for about 3-4 years now. She lives on a small farm with pigs & chickens & dogs & a shit-ton of cats. OK, to be fair, she is a foster kitty mama and has perfectly set up rooms in her farm house to... Continue Reading →
Started the weekend off with great intentions to do at least one more closet clean up in preparation for the someday upcoming garage sale I want to have, and also to read the next book in my pile which I have been carrying around for about two solid weeks now without cracking open.

I don't mean to only post updates on Sundays, but....here we go again! No formal race event today, but the training group did invite us out for some open water swim time at La Jolla Cove.

I didn't even have to debate with my doctor on medication - she was thrilled with how the Lovaza+diet+exercise seems to have done the trick. Unfortunately for my wallet, the Lovaza is a fairly recent FDA approved pure Omega... Continue Reading →
My Sunday is perfect if the following things happen: No alarm goes off. After two straight Sundays with 4am alarms, this is particularly sweet. Lounging in bed reading or watching TV with cats dozing alongside for as long as you want. Or, until your stomach demands breakfast 🙂 Standing in the shower until the hot... Continue Reading →
This image floating around Facebook today says it all - absolutely classic that some brilliant observer caught the similarities: UPDATE: Just as quickly as this flew around the web, word spread that it was a photoshopped image. Which it is so I feel compelled to post this correction of sorts. Some creative soul changed the... Continue Reading →
As a beginning level runner, what I learned the last two weeks is: 1) Run slow enough that you keep a conversational breathing pace (or, better yet, wear a heart monitor and keep the heart rate between 140-150). Slow and steady really *does* win the race - or, at least, allow you to gradually increase... Continue Reading →
