Irrational desires

gimme!
You were thinking about your front garden, the baby bunnies in the yard, your greenbar reports. All of a sudden, you catch your breath and your cheeks flush. But you smile. Maybe you chuckle guiltily as you cross and uncross your legs. Even the most pure of thoughts can’t help you now. You are in a moment of desire.

My friends, I’m sorry to report that I am having desirous thoughts.

I want an iPod. No, I WANT an iPod.

I want to hold it in my hand and lovingly caress the ClickWheel. I want to fall asleep next to it as it serenades me. I want to carry it to work with me. I want to dock it in my kitchen.

Moments like this…at 11:30 at night…with Thor at work and a credit card pulsing between my fingertips…I could buy an iPod and have it with me by the end of the week.

Yet I resist.

Some girls want diamonds. I want tech.

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! :)

Well, that happened.
