Adventures in hair color: Garnier Light Nude Brown

It to ANYONE that I dye my hair. People at work don't even blink anymore when I swing from reddish to brownish to blondish. This is my dream hair at the moment. It's a simple textured bob with some brown balayage (fancy word for two different colors). Until I work up the nerve to do that, I continue to bring the color of the roots up, and tone the color of the ends down. My most recent color was purchased strictly because the name made me giggle: Light Nude Brown. Is this a brown with ...

A depressing dream

Last night I had a dream... It was depressing. I don't share these feelings a lot, because you can look at my blog and life and fill in enough blanks to make sense of things. If you're not in for sadness today, you can flee without guilt. Which is also why this post isn't being shared on Facebook, because everyone there thinks I'm a giant ball of happy all the time, and breaking that image even the tiniest bit results in my having to comfort others when I'm the one that's blue. Twitter gets ...

The meteor's coming – get some beer!

I have to take 2 minutes to get this one down before it leaves my brain forever.. Last night's dream: A large meteor is hurtling toward earth. It's up to me and my team of scientists (!!) to figure out how to mitigate as much devastation as we can. We pinpoint the approximate landing point - a large beach in South America. So we decided to cover a 5 square mile area with tractor trailers filled with beer and strapped loosely together. My stupid alarm ended the dream, but that seems "science" ...

Dream: Robert Wagner

Last night's dream... Robert Wagner is doing a book signing at the small secondhand bookstore in my town. After work, I get off of the train, cross the street and go into the store. As he's signing my book I gush, "Mr. Wagner, I LOVED you in Hart to Hart, and also your work in the Austin Powers series!" He glares at me and says, "Whatever." "You're MISERABLE!" I holler. "It's no wonder you pushed Natalie Wood off of the boat!" Related: Adam Scott and Amy Poehler re-did the Hart to Hart ...

Excuse me, where's the toothpaste department?

I had a dream that I was traveling somewhere and one of the things I *had* to do is visit Osmond's -- a giant megastore owned by Donny and Marie Osmond. It was a HUGE store indeed and to facilitate moving through it, the carpet had a (harmless) pulsing electrical charge that would harmlessly move you along. Picture it as a cross between a magic carpet at a ski lift and one of those crazy pulsing ab belts. Every time you'd enter a new department, a hologram of Donny and Marie would pop up and ...

Dreams: Making that bucket list happen

Tell me what a weird dream this is: The world will be ending in a few days -- predictably & disastrously. I think it was an upcoming natural disaster. I end up in Miami with a bunch of other people. We've taken over a commercial area which includes a gigantic shopping mall. Now usually these apocalyptic dreams of mine end with "I buy a gun, go feral and survive it all." But this one was different. So in my dream I decided to make people's bucket list wishes come true. So for the little old ...

Ahh…sweet weekend

Looks like we made it another week, kids! Didn't blog yesterday because 20 minutes more sleeptime was more enticing. Don't take it personally, though...I really feel like I have my blogging mojo back. Thursday was a busy day. Yesterday was more evenly-paced. Meetings, conference calls, stuff I'm doing again that I haven't done in years. But, Big Summer Project trundles on toward its inevitable end when it ceases to become a "thing" and begins to become a "reality." I got another project (due ...

Is the week done yet?

Yesterday? Was MUCH better than I thought. Training went VERY well. The Big Weekly Meeting was cancelled and the news folks are actually excited about the launch of Big Summer Project. I stayed until almost 7pm and caught up on a little bit of work, but I can already acutely feel the difference of being one short. The spacewalk yesterday was successful, but to me it seems just as pathetic as if Jeff Gordon had to hop out of his car in the middle of a race to change a headlight.. Went to ...

Corey Haim

Dammit! I typed out a HUUUUGE post, and through some freaky keystroke, lost it all. (sigh)Wt: Scale kept fluctuating between 157.0 (+1.5) and 155.2 (-.3). But I'm not losing hope.Breakfast: Quaker Oatmeal Bowl. I discovered that it's better to put water in the bowl and microwave it than just using the hot water from the water cooler.Lunch: Life Choice Beef Tips and a half of a banana. The other half was rotten.Exercise: For the THIRD day in a row, I went to the gym. Did 23 minutes on the ...

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! :)
