Sweetest Day 2014

Yesterday was Sweetest Day, a relatively obscure holiday that was created by big business to celebrate love. WM and I are all about love, even when the holiday is shady. So when we remember*, its a lot of fun.

This year the Vera Bradley bag I mentioned last month appeared on my desk. I love it. I covet it. I fear for when it finally gets dirty.

I love it so much, it’s in front of my loved one’s photos.

Do you see all the Mickeys? Ugh. I die from the cuteness. And from a distance it looks just like the Vera bags the other doughy suburbanite women carry. 🙂

And thanks to the very fortunate notification of a Barnes & Noble coupon, I got this for WM:

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.

You’ll notice my gift’s photo is bigger because it’s an awesome bag.

*It’s a very forgettable holiday. Evidence: We last remembered it was coming three years ago.

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.
