Friday 5: Backspace

calendar page for March 17th. This week it's green.

Happy Friday and St. Patrick's Day, which is also very coincidentally National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day. It's the perfect day to check on my 23andMe account to see how Irish I actually am. I grew up believing I was a 50/50 Irish/Italian split. As I got older, that Irish became a quarter, split with French and German. So, 50% Italian, 25% Irish, 12.5% German, 12.5% French. A few Christmases ago I received a 23andMe DNA test. I spit in the tube, shipped it off, and it turns out we ...

Monday, Monday

a plastic bag filled with soil, ready to mail

It was a pretty good weekend! On Saturday I spent some time with Nephews A & B. A is 8 now (whaaaat?) and very much into Youtube and video games. B is 4 now (whaaaaaaaat?) and is very much into imaginative play. I am very much into A&B, even though I don't have a Youtube channel. And I baked another loaf of no-knead bread. Sunday found me digging in the garden beds so I could send a soil sample out to be tested. I've been using the same soil for years now and I'm pretty sure ...

Catching up!

Social June is in full swing and it is ruining the airtight routine I have built over the previous 15 months. We had the memorial for my cousin on June 13 and it was just as military minded as it needed to be. The speakers were lovely and talked about his personality and his passions like diving and karaoke and cooking for his family, but the whole shebang was surrounded by SOME GAVE ALL and bikers with flags and a three-volley salute and I wish it wasn't.

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! :)
