Good morning and happy Saturday! Yesterday was my Friday off and I was a productive bumbleblee. I had Molly the Jeep inspected (she passed!), had her oil changed, went to lunch to celebrate my MIL’s birthday, tended to the vegetable…

Friday 5: Intense intents in tents

Happy Friday! Today is National Random Acts of Light Day (this is lovely!) and National Golf Cart Day. I believe golf carts are a scourge and do not belong on streets. From a car driver’s AND a frequent pedestrian’s opinion,…

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! :)

Well, that happened.
