Easter Sunday

Happy Easter! This weekend zoomed by in a puff of flour. I spent yesterday baking Easter bread and ham pies with mom…and then gave them all away, like the magnanimous person I am. Or rather, the person who would eat them all if they were still here.

I'm happy Max is here for another spring. It was touch-and-go for a bit.

Currently…

Spending: Quality nephew time. He’s yummy.

Springing: The high temps have been scooting into the high 60s and low 70s lately. That with the clock change means I can sit in the yard after work.

Losing! Yo! I’m now down 21 lbs! (probably 20 now, thanks to the 3 pieces of Easter bread I quaffed tonight) And I’m not even halfway there yet. Ugh. (mood deflates)

Watching: Some more Fuller House. They need to recast DJ’s middle kid. He’s from the “SCREAMING = Cute” school of acting. Or send his character off to Judy Winslow’s boarding school. I hope DJ ends up with Matt, the cute veterinarian. I don’t remember Steve being such a manipulative twit.

Polished: This week’s Essie color is the new “Lounge Lover” It’s a little more hot pink than pinky peach, but I still love it.

OMG STILL READING: Hamilton. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just so long! I’m only halfway through and my eloan is up tomorrow. Luckily, I have a paperback copy incoming. Unluckily, it’s too large to lug on the train every day, so it’ll be some at-home reading.

Working: Heavy on the meetings at work this week, but I think I’m taking a personal day on Friday.

Healing: I’m on my second week of Soolantra for rosacea. Week one was … difficult … as I’m apparently in the “it gets worse before it gets better!” camp. I’ve been loading on the moisturizer (jojoba oil in the morning and Cerave PM at night) and the redness and flaking are starting to subside. Thanks goodness.

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! :)
