Friday 5: More questions about our favorite topic

friday, september 1

Rabbit rabbit! Happy September, which, blah. Even though it continues to be actual, official summer through September 22, I am trying to switch myself into an autumnal mindset. Today is also National Forgiveness Day (I forgive, I do not forget), National Acne Positivity Day (I do not observe, I hate breakouts), and National Burnt Ends Day which is not about my hair after I use a curling iron, but rather the burnt ends of brisket. And it's WM's first day back to school (teachers only ...

An easy peanut brittle recipe

a bowl of peanut brittle, with Remy and Emil figurines watching approvingly

Peanut brittle is a 'fancy' candy I remember from my childhood but I don't see it around much anymore. Occasionally I will make peanut brittle for friends (and us) to enjoy. I think candy can be something that's very daunting to try and make at home but as long as you have a candy thermometer (mine looks like this) and your house isn't humid, this peanut brittle will turn out. I have never had this recipe fail. I looked high and low for this exact recipe to link to but can't find it. It's ...

Good and Meh: Week 34

Hey, not every blog post is a substack-quality work of art, okay? Good things: Monday: I went to the Phillies game with Mom & John and they won 10-4. Not only did they win, but we saw Bryce Harper hit an inside-the-park home run! I really enjoy going to baseball games but wish the tickets were less expensive.Thursday: I went to the office and had lunch with my best work friend. Friday: Spent some time ambling around Haddonfield with WM.Sunday: WM and I made to the last day of the ...

Friday 5: Until it hurts

calendar page for friday august 25

Happy Friday, and my last official Summer Friday of the season. Booooo! I'm not down the shore because it's been raining off and on all day both here and there. Instead, WM and I had breakfast at a lovely twee local coffee shop and then ran some errands. Now I'm having a scintillating afternoon backing up my computer's hard drive and organizing all of the extra charging cables we've accumulated. In other words, it's peak Virgo season here at the House on Literary Lane. It's also National ...

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! :)
