Cheers cheers to thirteen years!

a wide angle shot of WM and Kim in front of a courthouse. There are tall columns and arched windows. We are standing in front of the doors staring at each other. It was over 90 degrees at 8:30am.

Thirteen years ago (at least six of those being unprecedented in one way or another) WM and I tied the knot at Cherry Hill Courthouse. We emerged from the judge’s chambers to a small smattering of applause from those who…

Nine.

Nine years ago today it was blisteringly hot. As we walked through the lobby of our Deluxe Apartment in the Sky, our neighbor said, “you two look like you’re going to a wedding!” “We are! Ours!” we replied. Happy anniversary,…

Six

Six years ago these goofballs said “I do.” It’s a good thing to be married to your favorite person. Not everyone gets to say that. Happy Anniversary, WM. 🙂

Today would have been my 20th wedding anniversary. BvP texted me shortly after Max’s passing last summer and he’s doing very well. Even though we’re apart longer than we were together, I can’t ignore the date. Twenty years was a…

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…

Mmmmmmm…Morimoto!

Mmmmmmm…Morimoto! Background: Thor and I have been watching Iron Chef on Food Network for years. It’s a Japanese show, where chefs battle an “Iron Chef” to see who can produce the best dishes in 60 minutes which showcase a certain…

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.

Well, that happened.
