Ollie: Things are looking up

His ears are clear, his gums are healed and Ollie’s back in a good season of life. When we go for walks he keeps up the pace with little effort. We’re up to three blocks, whereas in the spring he…

Friday 5: “Nine times? Nine times.”

murphy sulking on the bed

Hoo boy what a week. It wasn’t bad, just seemed long. And I’m grumpy because the ceiling upholstery in my car (called a headliner) is drooping and touching my head when I drive. I’m either going to have to staple…

Murphy: A pet of his own

Not long ago I was in the yard doing crossword puzzles when I saw Murphy standing in the ivy, head in a bush, tail wagging. *wagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwag* NOT a good sign. I crossed the yard. “Hey Murph! What’cha got there?” He…

Middle-aged life goals

This is Paula Abdul. She is 56 years old. It’s the 30th anniversary of her breakthrough album Forever Your Girl and … wow. And no she’s not actually singing but that’s a-okay. h/t Design Mom

Friday 5: Stay and Let Me Look at You

Happy Friday from Lexington, Kentucky! I’m here for work. I exhibited on behalf of TNP at a Hospital Medicine Conference for the last few days. The hotel is lovely, but set on a highway which is unwalkable. That combined with…

My 2018-19 paper planner

text in planner - 'the face that runs the place'

This year has been a planner disaster. I have always been a huge fan of paper planners but I fell out of it late last year (remember there was a Big!Work!Project! that apparently scarred me for life) and once I…

Ollie: selfie

I captured this picture of Ollie underneath my patio chair. You can see that because his one lower fang is gone, his tongue droops out of the side of his mouth sometimes. You can’t tell when his mouth is closed,…

Show us your books: September 2018

outdoors reading

I can’t believe it’s this day again. Show Us Your Books Day! And yes, it’s also 9/11. Seventeen years ago I was an adult and watched the horror on one of the TVs at the Courier-Post while it happened. (And…

Friday 5: The Whole Trial Is Out of Order!

Happy Friday 5 on a Saturday! This is a day late because … wait for it … I went out again last night. This time was happy hour with my mom and my aunt who is recently back from a…

The Lady at 46: Walking the Walk

Year 45!

Today is my 46th birthday. It’s weird to consider that I’m on the downward slope to 50 when I feel like I just got used to being in my 40s. I spent the day at the shore, possibly for the…

Friday 5: Just Wing It

Happy Sunday! To wind up “Operation Use a Bunch of my PTO this Summer” I don’t go back until work until Thursday. I actually went OUT Friday night. Out. Past 11. I went to Atlantic City with Mom and my…

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! :)
