Should auld acquaintance be forgot

This year..

  • I received my first Rising Star award at work. (Oh, I’m receiving one for 2004 too!)
  • We were approved for a mortgage.
  • And after 7 years of apartment living, we bought a house!
  • …which I almost burned down while making iced tea.
  • Travelled to California to meet long-time friends.
  • Saw the sun set over the ‘other’ ocean.
  • Turned 32, (stupidly) had bangs cut into my hair, and got the long-coveted iPod.
  • We went on a fabulous cruise…
  • …and I snorkled for the first time.
  • Said goodbye to my last living grandparent.
  • Voted, and
  • Wrote a novel. (I’ll start editing it in January)

ng some great online friends along the way! (Friends are friends…online or not)

Not too shabby, eh?

Happy 2005! Be safe tonight.

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! :)

the wombsday clock graphic with two teal haired women in white rockers. It has reached 12 months and there are teal and white stars all over the graphic.
Well, that happened.
