Quick Notes

Apr 12 2005

My internet connection’s been spotty tonight, so I’ll fit this in between down spasms.

They’re going to open up a Sephora at Cherry Hill Mall. I’m all a-twitter with excitement, as the only times I’ve been able to shop their stores has been in Disneyland and New York City. Where else can you buy a makeup kit called “Frumpy to Foxy?”

I decided that having 20+categories on my blog was overkill, so I pared it down a bit. Still working on design.

I’m writing my “Top 7 thing we did on our Walt Disney world vacation” for posting here and perhaps on a Disney board or two. One down, six to go. Why do I ~~even~~ do this ~~for~~ to myself? 🙂

Author’s note: I fell asleep between the third and final paragraphs of this post. My apologies to those who read this last night…it made little sense.

I've been blogging for over 15 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)

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...
