International Women’s Day Gift

WM had this waiting for me on International Women’s Day, which was March 8. It’s the Women of NASA set, featuring Nancy G. Roman, Margaret Hamilton, Sally Ride, and Mae Jemison.

I can’t wait to put it together, but first I need to figure out where to display it. The instruction booklet has biographies of the featured women, and also the fan who came up with the idea for the set, and the Lego designers who created it. All women and not a drop of pink in the set. It can be done!

By the way – the box is incorrect. Margaret Hamilton and her mod minidress stacked up all of that Apollo code in 1969, not 1959.

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.
