The music that I love to listen to in summer

Still bopping along with blog prompts to get me through my season of malaise, which is either lifting or I’m becoming accustomed to it.

This one is “what kind of music do you love to listen to in summer?”

I have three genres of summer music:

  1. Jimmy Buffett & what I think of as the Buffetverse (beach music, tropical music, and the country-adjacent beach songs)
  2. Lo-fi, which is my default work soundtrack and gets 100% credit for helping me get through the thick part of Covid and studying for my CAE exam
  3. “Songs of the Summer” artists which this year is Sabrina Carpenter, Chappel Roan and Shaboozey.

And in “time flies” news, December will be the third year since I sat for the CAE exam so I had to renew my credential. I had to earn 40 CAE credits in the past 3 years, which I accomplished by February of this year.

Tonight we were supposed to go to a free Everclear concert as part of the county’s free summer concert series but since it’s been raining for days and will be raining for days the show was cancelled until next Saturday.

Lunchtime’s over – back to work!

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.
