Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Yesterday I got a peek into what I think may be at the root of SportBoy's homework woes. I fear it is genetic. That picture up there? Could easily be his dad's or even his grandfather's (dad's side). We have long joked about his dad's "piling system" which, as far as I can tell whenver... Continue Reading →
If you follow me on twitter, then you saw me post about some of the new people I started following in the last week. They were (gasp!) Republicans!! 🙂 Now now, I hope you've figured out from reading what I do write about politics that while I am very much dedicated to progressive values, I... Continue Reading →
I've talked before how the passage of Prop 8 here in California was a double edged sword for gay rights. Yeah, it was a setback, but I believe that was only momentary. The passage created so much publicity that the topic of gay marriage and dicussions on nearly every news program brought the conversation out... Continue Reading →
Is that title enough for you? When I see this program, my brain freezes: I hate MS Word. Very rarely at work I have to use it. It's taken me several years of writing on this site to get to the point when I no longer say that I *hate* writing. But writing at work?... Continue Reading →
After a lazy morning, we got to the field for LL game warm ups at 10:45. I got my walk in for the day - 40mins worth by making one lap around the fields and then going around the entire neighborhood block which is pretty darn big and very very hilly so it was a... Continue Reading →
The last two days were a combination of American Idol and another LL game - hence the title. I am officially an Adam fangirl. He blew me away with his rendition of Michael Jackson's Black & White. I've re-watched it on my DVR 3 times. I know it is all a matter of taste, but... Continue Reading →
Yes, I stole this from Facebook but I thought it was more fun as a blog post 🙂 Find the #1 Billboard song from the day you were born here. Mine is I Feel Fine by The Beatles (and for once a musical selection does not embarrass me!) What's yours? Post in a comment or... Continue Reading →
Are you flashing back to the 80s? Coolio! When did Daylight Savings Time start so dang early? Ok, I think I am vaguely aware that they changed it up, but really, this was EARLY! Thanks be to twitterland I was not caught unawares but really, I also had NO CLUE until Saturday that it was... Continue Reading →
5:30am gift - the sound of Amber completing the kill at the foot of my bed. Roll was originally in Sports Boy's bathroom so she dragged it/carried it out of there and across the bridge to share it with me. Oh joy. Update: Picture in picture challenge! I posted this on Face book too and... Continue Reading →
This week's show was largely disappointing with just a couple of high spots. I voted for those two high spots and sure enough they moved on. Lil Rounds has an aura of professionalism and polish much like Melinda Doolittle from two years ago (top 3). Lil is even *better* though because she has more spark... Continue Reading →
