Black Friday

We’re still managing to kick Black Friday’s ass and send it crying to it’s Momma.

We took the Patco Hi-Speedline to the 8th and Market Streets in Philadelphia. Shopped…

  • Strawbridge’s (This one had my coat, in my size, still too expensive)
  • Burlington Coat Factory
  • Starbucks, but the line was too long
  • Lord and Taylor (Saw the legendary Christmas Light Pageant I saw this as a tiny girl, and it was a kick to see that even though the store’s ownership has changed thrice, the light show remains)

    We strolled down Chestnut Street and after soaking in the holiday mood, trained back to South Jersey.

    Next on the agenda? Dinner! Then more shopping! Woo-hoo!!

    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! :)

    Advent week 1 - Hope Do not get lost in a sea of Advent week 1 - Hope 

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. - Representative John Lewis
