Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
As I was sweeping the floor downstairs just now, I hear SB say, out loud into his microphone because he is playing Xbox Live with other players "What the FUCK?!" I sigh and continue sweeping and think about how it was when I was a teen, and you think you are out of earshot of... Continue Reading →
High school baseball starts for real tomorrow. And I have learned that it is WAY MORE intense than football! He has either a game or a practice 6 out of 7 days - Sunday is the only day of rest. Mother Nature is being kind to us and the only rain in site the next... Continue Reading →
Riddle me this: You all know I have a need to park in MY SPOT at work. You also know I have a need to walk as many steps as possible each day. MY SPOT is closest to the stairway to my basement office. Which is important given that I am carrying my purse, lunch... Continue Reading →

Another workout picture from the cycle class on Wed night - which they do AFTER we spend an hour of circuit training! I must admit to being mighty impressed that they all keep up! SB is the second head on the left with his new (old) bike. So - what I learned this week. I... Continue Reading →
I know, I keep changing the look of this place. Sorry! It's in my nature to re-arrange things all the time. And since they just introduced a new theme that supports quickie status updates & link & gallery posts similar to what I found for Pragmatic Progressive - well, I had to try it out....

I do not understand how CBS could, yet again, show the Grammy's on tape delay on the west coast. No other award show does that anymore. It's stupid. OTOH, since it WAS tape delayed and since everyone on my twitter feed who saw it live tweeted about it (plus some friends were there tweeting LIVE... Continue Reading →
