My first Phish concert

the band phish performing onstage. There are many lights and a haze of smoke

A few months ago, one of my out of town friends (M) asked if I wanted to go to a Phish concert when they came to Philadelphia this summer. He’s a big Phish fan, and I’m someone who likes to…

friday july 25

Happy Friday! Today is National Merry-Go-Round Day (love them!), National Thread the Needle Day (not a fan of needlecrafts, though I keep trying) and most importantly, a Summer Friday. Not some random Summer Friday, but one that heralds almost a…

Housecleaning weekend

a shiny squirrel statue that lives next to the stove in our kitchen. I'm wiping the grease off of it

I said on Friday that I’d follow up with a list of what I accomplished during what I started calling housecleaning weekend. Here we go! Achieved: Did not achieve: I deem this weekend a success.

Friday 5 (on a Saturday!): In the can

the words "angry Man Farms" roughly etched into very weathered wood, this is on the first garden bed WM built

Good morning and happy Saturday! Yesterday was my Friday off and I was a productive bumbleblee. I had Molly the Jeep inspected (she passed!), had her oil changed, went to lunch to celebrate my MIL’s birthday, tended to the vegetable…

I’m playing Skyrim!

a screenshot of Skyrim. a guard's dialogue is " I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow to the knee."

(Tales from a menopausal gamer.) After a few years of cozy/casual games (Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, Disney Dreamlight Valley) I yearned for a game with a little more meat to it. By meat I mean combat. After doing a…

Cheers cheers to thirteen years!

a wide angle shot of WM and Kim in front of a courthouse. There are tall columns and arched windows. We are standing in front of the doors staring at each other. It was over 90 degrees at 8:30am.

Thirteen years ago (at least six of those being unprecedented in one way or another) WM and I tied the knot at Cherry Hill Courthouse. We emerged from the judge’s chambers to a small smattering of applause from those who…

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! :)
