Friday 5: Go

friday december 15

Happy Friday, which is also National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, National Wear Your Pearls Day, and my Aunt Carol’s birthday. I had a half-day today, because WM and I went to see a matinee of a Very Philly Christmas at the Kimmel Center. It was a lot of fun and even featured a cameo by the Phillie Phanatic!

Time for the Friday 5! This week’s theme is Go.

  1. Which trivial pursuits have recently been most satisfying?
    This blog! This year I really put the effort in to update it regularly, even if some of the entries weren’t perfect. The more I write, the more I feel like writing, and I feel like this crummy little web log is still worth it.
  2. What’s the riskiest thing you’ve attempted this week?
    I wore ankle boots instead of sneakers to work on Wednesday. They looked great but I paid the price.
  3. What are you definitely not sorry about?
    That I cut my hair. I had a few days of second-thoughts but I really love how bouncy and light it is.
  4. When it’s all over, what do you hope people will remember about the way you played the game of life?
    That I did my best to live by my core values that everybody deserves to be safe, warm, and loved.
  5. What kind of trouble do you hope to get into this weekend?
    (eyebrow waggle)

Enjoy your weekend!

    This is why I always come here. 🙂 This form of online journaling is one of the best things about the internet. And yours is still one of my favorite!

      Thank you! You and I go way back – probably 100 years in blog years!

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! :)
