Christmas in the cube city

My desk at TNP faces an aisle, so I get a little bit of eye-level flat area to decorate. I think I have 80% of of it covered.

My shopping is done with the exception of the most difficult parents to buy for, Mr. Quiet and Ms. I Only Want a Card. (note to self: buy card.) I did the majority of it online this year, a first for someone who loves going out to shop. It was partially because the Cyber Monday deals were pretty good and partly because regular department stores don’t carry cool niche products.

Cookie production starts this weekend, when I start to make dough for freezing. TNP is having a bake-off on Wednesday, so I’ll be test-driving a recipe. Perhaps I’ll avenge Poppins’ near miss of first place.

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! :)

You can still have a cozy day without having the “aesthetic.” Sometimes your cozy place has a dog crate in front of it. Sometimes the toilet bowl cleaner scent overpowers your candle. It’s still perfect. #cozy #reallife #genx
