Long Thanksgiving Weekend

TNP closed at 1pm the day before Thanksgiving which is fantastic. The lovely Kristen (and her husband who doesn’t read my blog) hosted this year in their new house. Our job was to make and deliver… My herby homemade bread….

He will be three in January and I love him to pieces, even when he lounges in my shower to watch me pee.

Lazy Sunday

handmade christmas card

I had such grand plans for today. All I ended up really doing was grocery shopping, replacing the lights on our pre-lit palm tree Christmas tree downstairs, and addressing the Christmas cards. I was GOING to freeze up some cookie…

Skelly Saturday

Our Halloween decorations include a plastic skeleton head and hands that we jam into the overgrown ivy in our front yard. The trick-or-treaters love it. WM loves it too and this year asked if we could leave it out and…

Missed Station Friday

I’m currently reading A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson. It’s not so much a sequel to Life After Life, but rather a parallel book. So far it’s been very well-written, but sad. Not tragically so, but just a constant,…

Chocolate Chip Thursday

six chocolate chip cookies

Day two of “business professional” and I adeptly scaled it back down to fit in, although I still looked sharp. “Sharp as a dart,” my grandmother would say. Mom says I’m a lot like her when I become impatient and…

Overdressed Wednesday

It was a strange Wednesday at work, not for anything involving me, but there are Things Going On at the Upper Levels of Management and those vibes always travel downward. We were asked to dress “business professional” today and tomorrow…

JeepUnited and it feels so good

AARP solicitation letter

After work WM picked me up at the Collingswood PATCO station (my old stomping ground) and we retrieved a repaired Molly from the shop. Even though I only drive maybe a mile and a half a day total, that second…

Arthritic Toes Monday

pissed off wet dog in tub

From yesterday, crappy grammar corrected: Tomorrow I work from home, fingers and toes crossed that Molly can be fixed tomorrow AND cheaply. Kim Russell, 11.17.19 Molly’s repair will cost over $1,300 and she won’t be done ’til tomorrow. Womp womp….

Cozy Sunday

Today after dropping Molly the Jeep off at the shop (check engine light, probably a million dollars to fix) we went out to breakfast, hit up JoAnn fabric for quilt batting for Christmas Village snow, and then Walmart for groceries….

Refrigerator Saturday

(typed while watching a cheesy PBS Christmas music program) I woke up today on a mission to SET THINGS RIGHT. I haven’t been the best housekeeper lately, because all I want to do is eat and hit the sofa. And…

Friday musings

When I started blogging back in late 2002, it was just me keeping a diary of what I do. I think until I get my groove back, I’m going to revert to that type of journaling. This morning I managed…

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! :)

A plucky heroine and academically minded hero? A road trip to Key West? Optimism v pessimism?? Adults being adults and using their words to keep disagreements from lasting more than a few hours? Sign me up forever.

Well, that happened.
