My Steam Deck, wrapped

a steam deck skinned with a vincent van gogh pattered decal. the start screen is a Pong throwback

I’m really enjoying it the Steam Deck that I bought back in December! I’ve always loved gaming, but I was strictly a PC gamer. After sitting at my desk all day for work, the last thing I wanted to do…

Frosted Vellum Birthday Cards – Two Design Styles

a card front, vellum on a black/silver diamond patterened background, with HAPPY BIRTHDAY embossed in silver onto black, and 5 tiny gems glued to it. it's art deco-ish to me.

In the vein of “the cobbler’s children have no shoes,” I do not have handmade birthday cards on hand. I do have some store-bought cards because I am a Woman of a Certain Age. But wouldn’t it be nice to…

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! :)

A plucky heroine and academically minded hero? A road trip to Key West? Optimism v pessimism?? Adults being adults and using their words to keep disagreements from lasting more than a few hours? Sign me up forever.

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.
