TikTok made me do it: two songs and a cake

a frosted chocolate cake on a cooling rack, with a spatula and a tiny figurine of Remy from Ratatouille

Yes, I have a TikTok account. My TikTok content is 85% based on who I follow and the content that I like (Disney, nerdery, happy dancing, humor) and 15% completely random content. For example, I'm currently watching the entirety of The Sound of Music in 5 minute clips. The VonTrapps just escaped the convent and are motoring to the hills. I hope they make it. By the way, Christopher Plummer's Georg VonTrapp is very much worth rewatching as an adult. Last week I bought two TikTok songs from ...

Friday 5: Career Day

friday, august 18

Happy Friday, friends! Today is National Mail Order Catalog Day (I miss those) and National Fajita Day (I prefer tacos now.) I've had a mentally jangly few weeks for no explanation and I finally feel it ebbing. What's been helping is going on walks with WM as he rehabs his knee. It's been months since I've walked regularly and I HATE how correct it is that movement helps with mental health. Boo, hiss, why can't I feel better by playing video games and snacking all day instead? Here's ...

Pennies from heaven for you and for me

three plastic banks and a coin counting tray

Alternate blog title #1: Tell me you grew up in a working class family without telling me you grew up in a working class family. Alternate blog title #2: Coinstar can take their 12.5% coin counting fee and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. What do you do when your banks are full and it's raining out? You count and roll coins like a couple of bored GenX kids. Our current bank doesn't offer a coin counting machine so we had to do it the old fashioned way. Longtime readers may ...

Friday 5: For argument’s sake

calendar page friday august 11

Happy Friday! Today was my summer Friday and I took Mom to the beach for the day. It was a good day; however, I think I have to find a new beach. I've been going to Margate for years and it used to be that there would be 15-20 feet between everybody. Since Covid ended and people continued "working from home" (4 out of 5 people are great, number 5 logs into Teams on the beach) the beaches have been slammed. Today a group set up their umbrella and chairs less than four feet in front of us, ...

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! :)
