Friday 5: Gang aft agley

calendar page for friday september 29

Happy Friday, which is National Coffee Day, National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and National VFW Day. (A VFW is a great place to get a cheap beer, if you know someone who can get you in.) I don't make liking coffee my entire personality, but I've really stepped up my coffee game this year. Making my own cold brew concentrate and vanilla sweet cream at home amped my enjoyment tenfold. The downside of all of that is that I'm back to 2 hot cups a day now; just both in the morning ...

Adorable clay ghosts!

a shelf with a you've got mail print, a ceramic pumpkin, a fake plant in a pumpkin pot, and two DIY'd clay ghosts

A while back I had pinned a trio of ceramic ghosts that I wanted to buy from Etsy. They were adorable. When I went to find them, instead of going back to Pinterest (to be honest I forgot I had pinned them) I searched Google for "clay ghosts" instead of "ceramic ghosts" (it's been a very scattered September) and one of the top results was a link to a tutorial on Why Don't You Make Me on how to make some yourself. I'm always up for a low-stakes, sedentary challenge. I bought some oven-dry clay ...

Good: Tuesday: Ill effects of the Covid booster were completely gone. Wednesday: It was our monthly in-office day. I went to my Fancy Coffee Friday spot for the first time in years and the coffee was delicious. Twelve of us went to the bar across the street afterwards - I know some people don't like socializing with coworkers, but some still do. Thursday: On 9/13 I began a short morning yoga routine. Today was the first day I completed it without taking a breakFriday: First day of a ...

Friday 5: Don’t tip the boat over

friday, september 22

Happy Friday, friends! It's also National Ice Cream Cone Day, Car Free Day (I take public transit at every opportunity, but I also think the car free movement can be unrealistic) and American Business Woman's Day. I'm observing that day by being off from work today and Monday to burn off the last of the PTO I can't carry over to TNP's next fiscal year, which starts October 1. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday. So today I made sure to get the outdoor chores finished. I mowed ...

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
