The Mug Life Chose Me #2: The Hearthstone Mug

a white mug with a small roundish handle and a turquiose blue swirl on the front that looks like the World of Warcraft hearthstone symbol

I’ve had this mug for almost sixteen years (!!) which is kind of wild when I stop to think about it. Given to me as a gift back when World of Warcraft was still dominating my evenings, this is one…

Sugar, Sugar

The Archies, animated version. Archie and Reggie are on guitar, Veronica is playing the keyboard, Jughead on drums, Betty is killing it on the tambourine and Hot Dog (the dog) is conducting.

I was never a comic book kid EXCEPT for Archie. I loved Riverdale High as much as I loved Rydell High, and my actual high school years were quite the disappointment, comparatively. No carnivals, no diners where the entire school…

The Mug Life Chose Me #1: The Disneyland Hotel mug

a side by side image of both sides of a Disneyland hotel mug. On the right side the light blue mug says Disneyland Hotel Welcome to Happy; the other side has retro Mickey and Minnie heads. The handle is shaped as the D from Disneyland

I have a plethora of coffee mugs. Mugs make a fantastic and functional souvenir. But even the mugs that aren’t from a specific location remind me of where I was emotionally when I purchased them. Sadly, I don’t have enough…

Saturday coffee thoughts

the new cracker barrel peg game. the text says "leave only one, you're a genius, leave two, rocking the chair not the game, leave three or more, no need to be embarrassed try again"

Good afternoon! I’m still nursing my Café Bustelo Medium Roast from breakfast. Here’s a brain dump of small things not worthy of full blog posts. Most of these thoughts started elsewhere online, but it always feels nice to keep your…

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! :)
