Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
First time that all living Presidents/President Elects are in the White House together since 1981. The event even inspired George W to make a statement that not only was Bushism-free, but was actually pretty damn cool (guess the release of pressure that must accompany the dwindling days he must spend in that office are making...

I had the oddest insomnia Sunday night. Yeah, Sunday night - right before going back to work after 12 days off. Figures eh? You don't have sleep interruptions when you can actually sleep in or take a nap. No, you get it the night you finally have to get back to work! Of course. Now,... Continue Reading →
Took a break from political posts after the election due to extreme burn out. Even though things mostly went the way I personally wanted them to go, I was just done talking about it. The break has been good and I knew I was ready to dive in again when I saw this and felt... Continue Reading →
Sigh...the long, lovely vacation is over. Back to school and work tomorrow. We are bummed 😦 Of course, *today* MusicMan cleaned out his pile in the garage so after trash pickup tomorrow I could get moving with my own clean up. Ah well. Just gives me projects to work on before LL kicks in right?... Continue Reading →
There it is. The number I have to carry with me for 365 days in varying forms.

Because according to a couple of emails and a phone call things are not quite starting out with that whole positive twist we were shooting for. No, not at all. So, let's try this AGAIN shall...

I noticed a common thread yesterday. One that I have seen through the year actually. For many of my Real Life and Internet friends, 2008 was not so great. In fact, on the blogs a couple of different people started referring to it as Suck It '08. Grandy, Dawn and the writers on Mother Talkers.... Continue Reading →
Ever the independent rebel, this is not the typical Year in Review or New Year's Resolution post. The most you get is the header change to New Year's fireworks 🙂 You see, those other things take organization. Clear mindedness. Heck, any kind of mindedness! And the timing is just not right for me on those... Continue Reading →
It's a Pensieve! Created as a place to put down my thoughts on life and, more recently, to document memories. Can you tell I am reading Harry Potter? Yes, one of the last to do so, I know. I've just finished books 4 and 5. The routine is that SportsBoy and I read the book,... Continue Reading →
Thanks to Bennie, I give you this meme. And I apologize now for what I must share. Bennie caught me stopping to read blogs as I thought about what to do for breakfast. My friend had just called to spur of the moment suggest we meet to catch up and *still* I decided to continue... Continue Reading →
