A Lady looks at fifty-one

Starbucks birthday order: a pumpkin cream cold brew and a birthday cake cake pop. The label has my name on it.

Fifty seems like it would be a momentous year, gold-dipped and gleaming. A milestone, an accomplishment. And it was a a good year, but it was also a hard year. Adjustments at home, adjustments at work. The begrudging acceptance of my permanent work-from-home life, much smaller and simpler than the one I used to have. The aches and pains and health scares for me and for others that come standard with living to this age and beyond. Ambitious goals that were a little too ambitious. Impostor ...

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! :)
