Black Friday

Nov 26 2004

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!!

I've been blogging for over 14 years and I'm apparently one of the few over-40 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun and unprofitable. No big.

~~Wife. Dog lover. Slob.~~ I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dogs Ollie and Murphy. I work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia. 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!

Follow me! (not literally, please)

Like me! (yes, literally, please)

We Should All Be Feminists

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

So very good. Beautifully written, and really hits home. It was refreshing to read about feminism in a viewpoint other than that of my white, middle-aged, ladyfriends. :) Every middleschooler should be issued a copy of it. It was supe...
