The weekend that was a balm to my soul

the beach at ocean city, nj

It was gorgeous here in NJ this weekend. On Saturday the temp went up to the low 70s, and Sunday it was in the high 50s. SPRING HAS SPRUNG! Know that I jinx us all by typing this, because it…

Friday 5: Take me to the old playground

giant boxes on a pallet. not pictured: Kim's simmering doubt that this will fit in the proper room and her sinking feeling that her craft room will be completely overtaken.

Happy Friday! It’s GORGEOUS here today. The weather inched into the low 70s. I took Murphy for a walk at lunchtime, and after work I planted garlic and lettuce outside! Tomorrow it’s supposed to rain. And Sunday we’re vernal equinoxing!…

Cleaning my keyboard

I celebrated two years of working from home by cleaning my keyboard last weekend. I do it once a year or as needed after a spill. Because I spend 8+ hours a day at my keyboard and eat my lunch…

Sprouts!

tiny tomato sprouts

While I was illing, my seeds started to sprout. They’re a bit leggy because I didn’t get the overhead lamp on in time, but I think they’ll be okay.

Friday 5: Chocolate-covered mothballs: they always satisfy!

colored floral wreaths and alcohol markers

Happy Friday, friends, enemies, and everyone in between! I don’t actually think I have enemies. If I do, they’re very quiet and I appreciate the silent beef. Today I had a scheduled day off of work because I had a…

It got me

mad madame mim

The stomach bug slammed into me at around 4pm yesterday. One of the cooler things about being a seasoned adult is the self-awareness that comes with years of experience. I started to feel badly at 4 and immediately put my…

peat pots, ready for seeds

In case you happen to be new to this old blog, Angry Man Farm is simply our garden. Many years ago WM and I noticed that farms have such lovely, bucolic names like Lone Pine Farm or Running Horse Farm….

The gratitude cycle

two clothes dryers in my garage

A few weeks years ago we noticed that our dryer stopped efficiently drying clothes. Regular loads would take two cycles to dry, but we dealt with it, because after 8 or 9 years in the apartment with a communal downstairs…

Friday 5: A rose in a fisted glove

Happy Friday! I told my coworkers today (via Teams, we’re still working from home until further notice) that this week seemed like it was six weeks long and I think I accomplished maybe 10% of what I needed to. In…

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! :)
