Friday 5: Kickoff

A chaotic Friday morning + an in-person board meeting this afternoon + a small birthday celebration this evening = a very late and short Friday 5 post. This week’s theme is: Kickoff. Let’s go!

friday, September 8
  1. What is your system or routine for paying bills?
    Mortgage, water, cable/internet, and mobile phone are auto-pay. Electric, gas, and my credit cards are paid monthly via their apps.
  2. Forced to choose from a lion, bear, and panther, which would you keep as a pet, which would you put on your family crest, and which would you be reincarnated as?
    I’d keep the panther as a pet, put the lion on our crest, and be reincarnated as a bear.
  3. Who in your life is (metaphorically!) a saint?
    OHHHH…football team names. Bills, Lions, Bears, Panthers, Saints, Jets, Browns. Clever!!
    I dunno – I have a lot of good people in my life and I can’t name one without feeling badly about not including the rest.
  4. Assuming no negative impact on the environment and all expenses covered by someone else, where would you go (and what would you do) right now if someone offered you use of a private jet?
    I’d go to a wellness resort in Costa Rica.
  5. Brown gets a lot of hate, but what are some lovely brown things?
    Chocolate. Mushroom soup. My dog’s eyes. A snuggly cardigan. A coconut.

    I actually thought of you as I was typing the saint question. I know you dislike those “among people you know…” questions. 🙂 You will kindly notice I don’t ask them nearly as much as I used to. For you!

      Aw, that’s so kind of you, but you can ask any question you’d like and I’ll still politely demur.

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! :)
