Sha-la-la-la (ugh, erk)

(This post is from October, 2010, and didn’t make it over in the migration to kimberussell.com. I’m adding it manually to make a point.) It’s time again for the Friday five, and this week’s theme is: Every Sha-La-La-La. NB: I…

Webkeeping – April 2007

Every now and then I’ll run site stats. The most fascinating part is the search referrer section. That’s where I can see what people were searching for in Google/Yahoo when they found my site. I deliberately misspelled some of these…

What the heck kind of mailing list am I on?

Back in January I received an AARP card. I received a second one at the beginning of March. Didn’t blog that one because my arthritis was flaring up. (rolls eyes) Today, among the stack of junk mail I received a…

April 5, 2005

Anniversary!

Total surprise. We were getting to leave for our Segway tour of Epcot’s World Showcase when Thor popped this box out of his pocket. Six diamonds plus eight sapphires (my birthstone) make for one puddly Gypsy. We were the first…

Paperback writer

Paperback writer Yeesh…that cold was tough. It seems like the older I get, the fewer times I get sick, but the harder I get hit by those colds. I stayed home from work on Friday as well, making me double-paranoid…

Musing

Musing I’d love for a president to adopt a dog from a shelter rather than buy one from a breeder. Plus, pets should NOT be given as gifts. Even though I highly doubt Mrs. Bush will be the one actually…

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! :)

the wombsday clock graphic with two teal haired women in white rockers. It has reached 12 months and there are teal and white stars all over the graphic.
Well, that happened.
