Breaking up is hard to do

It pains me to tell you this. But I’m ending CookieCam early this year. It just didn’t work out as I planned. Why?

  • Late hours at the job leave me exhausted at night. The last two years I was out of work at 2pm, so I had time to bake AND do housework. And housework is necessary because…
  • …my inlaws are coming to visit for Christmas. They’re arriving in two days, and will be staying at our place…
  • …so any time we’ve had free these last 2 weeks, we’ve spent redoing a room into a guestroom. It came out nice.
  • My kitchen is a disaster area. Seriously. I have to give it a top-down scrubbing. By tomorrow night.
  • Have I mentioned yet that I still have shopping to do??

    I will tell you tentatively that YES, there will be CookieCam next year. Without the guest room looming over our heads, it’ll be calmer. Unless I have a kid by then, which is something we’ve talked about, but a decision we haven’t committed to yet. So calm down.

    If I’ve promised you cookies, you will receive cookies, hopefully by New Year. I’m going to continue to bake here and there, but without the pomp and circumstance of tripods, cameras, and laptops, I can get them done quicker.

    Anyway, thank you for watching and messaging. I’m sorry I promised and touted something I couldn’t really deliver.

    This blog, however, isn’t going away any time soon. It’s almost my 2 year blogiversary!

    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! :)
