Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Ways to avoid my personal Fail Whale (muting/blocking/reporting/unfollowing) I was going to tweet this, but it would have taken up over three tweets & my friends and I have an agreement that anything over three tweets is a blog post. MHO (My Humble Opinion for you longhand readers) on rules for twitter. Take them for... Continue Reading →
Is there really anything else to talk about today? Spending the last two days again listening to the audio from Al Jazeera English I heard their voices loud and clear. On day 17 (yesterday) word spread that the end was near and their demands would be met. People poured back into Tahrir Square to celebrate... Continue Reading →
I put as my status last night on Facebook & Twitter "Every once in awhile you get a reminder that you share the planet with some really awesome people." I think at a certain level we all know that, right? I personally have not encountered anyone who, in an hour of great need, did not... Continue Reading →
I was watching something on TV recently, not on the DVR which is rare, and saw a commercial featuring Gwen Stefani that was for all day, wont ever smudge off lipstick. Or, so they claim of course 😉 In the commercial her lips were, naturally (I refuse to shorten that!), bright RED. And very shiny.... Continue Reading →
What a week! I've actually learned a lot thanks to being so riveted by the scenes from Egypt all week. Wikipedia has been put to the test! The Oct6 bridge was one - named for the beginning of the Yom Kippur war. And I will get a little deeper than I have in previous weeks.... Continue Reading →

How many could you rattle off and just dial on those keypads without missing a beat? While I cannot tell you exactly how many I knew, I can... Continue Reading →
Relax - this is not some "Breeder vs Child Free" contentious post 🙂 If anything, those who know me well know that I am often the furthest thing from a "breeder" or a (gasp) "mommy blogger" even though I do, by the way, have a couple of kids. However, after reading a few notes I... Continue Reading →
First, for my fellow crazy cat lovers, a recommendation: Sweet Prince works for Petco corporate and brought me this self contained packet for grass seeds for the cats. Let me tell you, they LOVE it! And? it was remarkably easy to grow. I planted the seeds in the bag just before new years. Within a... Continue Reading →
One of the temp agencies recently sent me an email which contained this interesting info: That Accounting sector total pains me - OUCH! However, see the IT/Technical sector? It's up at least by a small amount. However, I promise you that I have a 100% guaranteed way to explode that number and just about solve... Continue Reading →
Anyone who knows me well will see right away that this is pretty much an out of character post topic for me. However, this should perhaps be proof as to just how serious this is. As the parent who watches all the CSI programs, Glee, Modern Family etc with her teen, you know that I... Continue Reading →
