Kim’s Favorite Things 2024

In the spirit of last year’s Kim’s Favorite Things (and as a protest over how unattainable some of Oprah’s picks are – a $200 stovetop popcorn popper where you still have to stir the popcorn yourself??) here are this year’s…

On letting the office go

kim's empty cubicle at TNP

I knew this date was coming, but as of November 22, TNP has vacated our office in Philadelphia. It was inevitable, really, because we never went back to the office (I’d have been fine with a 3/2 split) and rent…

Friday 5: And the world laughs with you

friday november 22

Happy Friday, which is also National Cranberry Relish Day. I don’t recognize that photo at all because my preferred cranberry side comes in a can and has ridges on the side of it. I’ve been absent for a while. I…

Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 45

Some words: Well, didn’t that fall apart quickly? Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, both wildly accomplished and capable women who ran two completely different campaigns, lost to Donald Trump. Joe Biden, an accomplished and capable and very old man, beat…

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! :)
