Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Ladies – raise your hands if you knew exactly what I meant just by that title. Now, I promise I’m not going to go into humiliatingly graphic detail here - isn’t it enough that I’m posting pictures of me from the 80s? - but I still have a few items to get off my... Continue Reading →
Watch out folks! I've got this scanning thing down and my parents brought me some old photos. Wait, why am I telling you guys to watch out? It's ME who is going to be mortified at the fashions and hair styles!! This one isn't too bad actually. I'm 17 here. My mom is behind me,... Continue Reading →
As hoped, the team built on the previous week's victory and continued their improved play on offense. Defense and special teams though - kind of shaky. During the first half the Falcons got up early 14-0 and I was sure they were just going to roll all over their opponents. Then they got sloppy -... Continue Reading →
Look at that large bowl of leftover candy! That's just half! I already took a pile that big into work. This bowl will go there next week despite the protests of the various men/boys who pass through the house on a given day. I can't have this at my fingertips! I'm writing this from the...

I like to think of myself as a positive thinking person. OK, that's wrong. I happen to know that I AM a pretty first class Pollyanna most of the time. My glass is ALWAYS full. My first impressions of just about everyone/anything are good. I can make excuses with the best of them. Hell, in... Continue Reading →
On the eve of a mid term election day, and despite my absolute passion for politics and the games surrounding it, I am absolutely DONE with people who MIX politics and games – specifically, the World Series. Quit telling me who to root for in the Series based on political beliefs! Seriously – STOP IT!... Continue Reading →
A home game this time and the first one that #88 missed. Boy it was odd seeing him on the sidelines! Unfortunately I am now used to it 😦 Fortunately it was a very GOOD game. All those things that we normally complained about after those prior loses vanished. They tackled VERY well. They didn't... Continue Reading →
Even though I have never carved a pumpkin, they are my favorite Halloween decoration by far. That flickering, glowing orange orb is just so perfect for a spooky night. As a child the church hosted these truly awesome Halloween parties complete with a reenactment of the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown story and some truly... Continue Reading →
10/7/10 We had no idea at the time, but in the final game this season for #88, he made the final tackle of the game (that's not a good thing since he's a wide receiver!) It was an evenly matched defensive struggle, punctuated with a few frustrating penalties by the Falcons. A field goal early... Continue Reading →
So apparently there is some raging debate going on about the photo shoot that three of the stars of Glee did for GQ Bear in mind here, that the ladies are both 24 and the gent is 28. ADULTS here folks. ADULTS! Fully capable of choosing what they do. According to this article though, The... Continue Reading →
