Fifty-three Wednesdays in 2025, with words

Happy New Year! Let’s hope 2026 is gentle and kind to us all.

Once again, I present to you the captions for my 2025 Wordless Wednesday posts. Four of them were actually published on Thursday with a sneaky backdate to make them look like they were on time.

a collage of the 53 photos that comprised my Wordless Wednesdays in 2025

Hi! This is Kim from May 17th, 2025. Today I added the first twenty photos to the collage and wrote the captions. This has taken me about 45 minutes, mostly because a few weeks I was lazy or traveling and posted the photos from my phone. Meaning they weren’t in the folder with the other photos and I can’t handle that kind of self-inflicted chaos.

Row 1: The Barcade in Philadelphia, Murphy post-groom, a latte at my the coffee shop where I work on Fridays, a meme

Row 2: A frozen tube of ice emerging from my downspout, a Jungle Cruise inspired display in my Adventureland-themed bathroom, snow piled atop a solar Tinkerbell lantern, the stump of a tree that once stood tall in my backyard

Row 3: My rearview mirror which detached from my windshield, Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Disneyland, me in front of WM on Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland, OllieBear at Clearwater beach

Row 4: A snoot-level view of Murphy vegging on the sofa, a mural of a shark at Clearwater beef, Independence Hall at night, tchotchkes on my office shelf

Row 5: A sculpture of sorts at the W in Las Vegas, a vintage pinball machine in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Sphere, a pink rose in a bud vase

Row 6: My hammock side table ready for a relaxing afternoon, Headison Ford ready for summer, a neon sign in Live! Casino that says Radiate, the “Declaration” mural in Philadelphia – I added words to the post that week

Row 7: A homemade blueberry-banana smoothie; WM beneath blankets and crutches after surgery — the crutches were to keep Murphy from jumping on him; the ocean in Ocean City, NJ; Smitten Kitchen’s Strawberry Cake

Thanks, May 2025 Kim. This is December 13th Kim and I’ll take it from here. Today I learned there are actually 53 Wednesdays in 2025. I changed the post title accordingly. I also learned I didn’t name the week posts consistently.

Row 8: Phish performing in Philadelphia, my coneflowers, a stage show at Hershey Park, red tomatoes in the garden

Row 9: A color-it-yourself puzzle, photographing mugs for my mug life series, sweet Murphy, my hammock and some serious sunbeams!

Row 10: A Philadelphia-themed mini golf hole, the Philadelphia Art Museum, an eerie eyeball decoration, a large gumball machine in Dillworth Park

Row 11: A house in our Halloween village, apples on the tree, voting my mail, Murphy with a light up pumpkin necklace

Row 12: My yoga class setup, beautiful Cozumel, a red truck at Buc-ees, the Christmas Tree on the Disney Treasure

Row 13: A weaksauce moment – I forgot week 49 completely, a light up Disney snowman, a carousel at Philadelphia’s holiday market, the Wanamaker Light show in Philadelphia

And this is December 31st Kim wrapping it up for week 53.

Row 14: My fully lit Advent wreath with a crystal-ish tree in the middle.

I really enjoy this PITA exercise. It’s a digital scrapbook and the essence of what blogging used to be. Happy New Year, everyone!

Next Post Friday 5: A fresh start

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! :)
