Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Ohhhhhhhhhh! OK, I kid a little. My Sweet Prince has done an excellent job over the years with this holiday. Roses (both live plants and the cut flowers), jewelry, teddy bears - all very lovely things. But by and large I do tend to look at this as a huge gretting card industry endeavor. Because...

It's kind of funny because there is this name meme going around on Face book today and right after I finish it, this scenario played out in my life again. Here's the situation - everyone at this point knows that my first name is Christina. I'm old enough now that I don't have people automatically... Continue Reading →
Music Man and his friend hit the roof today. Not seeing anything obvious, they then headed into the attic to try and trace the water line. Which led them to believe that it must be leaking in the neighbors house too (it's a twin home set up) because it looked like it was leaking right... Continue Reading →
So during last year's rainy season a leak sprung up in my roof. It was minor and dripping in a place where the water was easily contained. And it was right under what is probably a broken seal around a vent pipe on my 25 year old roof. Fine. Naturally the boys (SweetPrince, his brother... Continue Reading →
In keeping with the occasional tradition of obtaining my inspiration for a blog post from the bathroom at work (classy!), I saw a lady re-applying her make up during lunch hour today. Eye shadow to be specific. And yeah, I found it odd. But why would I find that odd? I mean, don't most women... Continue Reading →
One would think from reading here and knowing about my typically busy lifestyle centered on my son's sports activities that a 4 day block of rain would be most unwelcomed especially over the weekend. However, given the week I've had, I said Bring It On! It was just one of those weeks. A couple of... Continue Reading →
I've been through lots of debate over the last few years on media balance/bias. Some people point to the commentary or 'spin' by hosts found in certain networks as an indication of bias. Some like to point to studies on who watches which networks along political party lines. I've been more interested in something more... Continue Reading →
I'm most likely going to be tapped out due to an intense week at work so I am stealing this meme from Facebook (I did also post it there): Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, just anything you remember! Don't... Continue Reading →
OK, I've kept silent on a few things long enough and just cannot bear this anymore. Pent up political posts are forthcoming, but this one is too ripe and must be addressed: For gawds sake all you damn politicans anywhere on either side, would you please pay your flipping taxes?? Guys, I have been filing... Continue Reading →
First though, evidence of a klutzy moment in my life today. Wii Fit is dangerous!! Ok, it's not the Wii Fit. It's me. My current workout with the Wii Fit is to do the Free Step aerobic program while watching tv. I incorporate my 4lb hand weight routine while I do the stepping. It's easy... Continue Reading →
