This vase is half my age

left: a yellowish ceramic vase with blue spirals and orange suns stamped onto it. R: the bottom of the vase, reading KT 9/5/98

I remember going to Color Me Mine on my 26th birthday and painting this vase. I thoughr the spirals and suns reflected the new-agey girl I thought I was (they do) and that the color choices were very late-90s (they…

Thursday randomness

a very poorly done stencil of a jack o lantern on top of a coffee

For my birthday, the always-lovely Kristen, Nephews A&B, and my brother who doesn’t read my blog and likely had nothing to do with choosing the gift gave me gifts to get me started on latte art, including a milk frother…

Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 42

Looking up at a giant jack-o-lantern on a ghoulish body. But he is not a jack-o-lantern. His name is Lewis.

Remember when I didn’t watch movies? That isn’t the case anymore! Here are some more I watched over the summer. The Fall Guy: A lot of people loved this movie and I was looking forward to it because I was…

Postcards To Voters: it’s not too late!

A stack of postcards ready to be sent to voters in PA. Kim's handwriting is not perfect, but still legible.

If you feel helpless amongst the (waves hands) stuff happening, you can move the needle in crucial battleground states by volunteering with Postcards to Voters. I’ve been writing with PTV since 2018 and while we don’t win ’em all, it’s…

a street filled with tents and pedestrians, the banner overhead says Collingswood Book Fair. The sky is deliciously blue.

Mary Oliver Devotions: Felicity, 2015

Mary Oliver Devotions, with a bookmark in it on top of a notebook. My purple fountain pen is next to it. The cover has a photo of a woman spoonfeeding a small bird.

Three years ago I purchased Devotions, a collection of poetry from Mary Oliver. I’m not a poetry person, but I always enjoyed Oliver’s takes on nature and humanity. I said, “I’m going to read one poem every morning.” Two years…

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! :)
