Welcome, Flapjack!

My nephew (son of my brother John and the lovely Kristen) decided that waiting for his proper May 15 due date wasn’t going to happen. Why do that when April can be so amazing?

So one week ago today he entered the world 4 weeks early, at a little over seven pounds.

Welcome to the world, Muffin!

Of course his name isn’t really Flapjack, but I don’t feel right broadcasting his name out to the tens of people who read this blog (zero of whom follow me on bloglovin, I’m irrationally upset about bloglovin). So he’ll be Flapjack here for the time being. Plus, my brother and had a decades-long joke that the first of our kids would be nicknamed Flapjack.

I went out and bought him some subversive baby gear for later.

Lest you think I'm completely deranged, I also got him a Sophie giraffe toy. Every baby needs a Sophie.

Can I tell you how happy I am that we had the baby shower in early April and didn’t wait ’til early May?

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! :)

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. - Representative John Lewis

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
