Friday 5: Take the cannoli

Happy Friday! Today is Halloween and our goodie bags of candy and trinkets are ready to go!

A retro melted plastic “popcorn” jackolantern decoration. I didn’t make an October 31 graphic so here you go.

I’m a little busy today so let’s get straight to the Friday 5. This week’s theme is Take the cannoli which can only mean The Godfather. Or, if you’re a Barbie trying to overthrow the Kens, the godFATHER.

  1. When did someone make you an offer you couldn’t refuse? Anytime a person offers to top up my coffee when I’m out for breakfast. Yes, please!
  2. How do you feel about Italian food? I love it, especially the typical checkered-tablecloth Italian-American fare. Give me a chicken parmigiana the size of my face nestled on a trough of spaghetti and drowned in red sauce and I’m a happy girl.
  3. When did you last attend a wedding? On October 9! It was one of WM’s former students which made us all feel old.
  4. What do you know about organized crime in your city? I don’t know of any, but an alleged sex trafficker was arrested in my neighborhood on Monday. There were helicopters flying overhead and the FBI was present.
  5. If you’ve been to Las Vegas, how did you like it? I’ve been there a few times now for both work and play. I enjoy it, but it used to be better. You were able to eat, see shows and game for much less money and with a lot less planning.

That’s it from where I sit! Have a fantastic Halloween and I’ll be back Monday with a post about my October cards!

Previous Post Wordless Wednesday: Week 44

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.
