A letter to Past Me

graphic that says no photos, just words

I was searching my blog to see when I had my last Covid vaccine (October ’24 – I’m not lying when I say this is my diary) and stumbled upon this post from early August of last year. Dear August…

A Halloween Throwback: DIY Vintage Pumpkins

the pumpkins, but now with black outlining around the features

TikTok made me do it! A few weeks ago I saw Sierra L Miller’s Tiktok where she purchased this wooden blank from Michael’s and used acrylic paint to give it a vintage Halloween look. I couldn’t resist. I miss the…

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…

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! :)
