New Orleans – Day 1

  • I woke up at 3:10am for my 6:00am flight.
  • The Garden District smells like gardenias.
  • I had amazing BBQ shrimp at Mr. B’s Bistro.
  • Our booth looks awesome.
  • I heard “When the Saints Go Marching In” five times.
  • There are beads hanging from the tree branches. It’s a sluttier version of prayer flags.
  • I can see the Harrah’s Casino from my window. It speaks to me and I tell it “maybe tomorrow night, because I woke up at 3:10am.”
  • Bourbon Street is still trashy as all get-out.
  • I had my first Pinkberry today – peach with cinnamon streusel & caramel.
  • And it’s Navy Week! Sailors everywhere!!

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.
