Chocolate Chip Thursday

Day two of “business professional” and I adeptly scaled it back down to fit in, although I still looked sharp. “Sharp as a dart,” my grandmother would say. Mom says I’m a lot like her when I become impatient and brusque. I’ll take it. To be honest, I could stand to be even more impatient sometimes.

She’ll be gone 17 years at 2:22am tomorrow morning. I remember the time exactly because was there at the hospital with her. I was bereft when she died but everyone around me was even more bereft so I threw myself into cookie baking that year. Then, at the end of December, I turned my little personal webpage into a blog. And here we are! I was just complaining a few days ago about not sticking with a hobby more than a few years. But I’m still here and even though I walk away from the blog for a few months her and there, I think I can say that this is my most successful hobby.

They’re a little over 3 inches in diameter!

Tonight I decided to try this recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies. They’re pretty large but more flat than chunky. WM’s on his way home from parent-teacher conference night and I suspect he’ll be pretty pleased to come home to these beauties and a house that smells like a bakery.

Last week, a Twitter friend asked what was the best part of being an adult. I think one of the best parts is having the autonomy to be able to bake cookies whenever you damn well please.

    I don’t think I knew how you started doing this.

    This reminds me of my feelings on my great grandmom dying and my relationship with her.

      Grandmoms are treasures and the older I get the more I wish I had talked to her about. It’s SUCH a cliche but it’s true.

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! :)
