April Fool!

I’ve been flipping my page on April Fool’s Day for quite a while. If you come in via facebook or a feedreader, sorry. 🙂

Examples:
2009 I liked the purple.
2008 (that theme makes me angry – it was free, and ended up getting some pharmacy spam code injected into the header)
2007 (a temporary breakaway from my usual font. I don’t think my hair will ever be that long again)
2006 (red hair, marriage falling apart behind the scenes)

Other than this, I’ll stay away from the ‘net today. I think the big companies have ruined April Fools with their slick productions that are designed to make us think “wow, they’re so cooooool!” I know I’m looking at it from the viewpoint of an overworked cube dweller, but I don’t think corporate frivolity belongs on someone’s task list.

I’m also looking at it from the viewpoint of someone who tore herself out of bed early to flip her page. So there is that, too.

Friday Five is here. Have a great weekend!

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.
