May 1, 2007

the ride with you was worth the fall, my friend

During lunch today I changed the last of my cards to the new (old) name. It’s the one I use the most – my ATM/debit card. Yeah, I could have had it changed months ago, but I kept putting it off for one reason or the other. Mostly psychological. Because while that card still had the old name (the checking account to which it is attached was changed months ago) I could keep signing the old name. The old name with all of its syllables and loops and constant misspellings and mispronunciations.* The name I used to excitedly practice signing over and over, like girls do.

Changing it today was more of a kick in the gut than I thought it’d be. And now I will never sign that name again. There’s that never again.

(then I got depressed and had a quarter pounder and fries for lunch. Looks like beets and water for dinner tonight!)

*Just looked at my weight from that day. Think I’m going to have another depression quarter pounder now. 😉

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! :)

Well, that happened.
