Friday 5: Chip Chat

fake calendar page for friday, july 9

Happy Friday, friends! I’m typing this from the patio, where I have been sitting since 4:31pm when I logged out of the laptop and dashed out of the door. I’m over working from home every day. Over it. I want…

Friday 5: Touched by your presents, dear

friday, july 2 graphic

Happy Friday, friends! This morning we ate breakfast out and hit the library. And then I crafted for a little bit, worked on the Friday crossword (the streak is in peril), and here I am. Blogging the Friday 5. Today’s…

Friday 5: Mental health again

Happy Friday! Today is my second summer Friday, and … it was rainy and in the 60s. So no beach. I’m going to end up having to call an audible and popping some PTO days during the week when the…

Friday 5: Watch your phraseology

It’s Friday! Whoop whoop! The weather here has been absolutely decadent, with highs in the high 70s/low 80s and scant humidity. I had a blog post set up for Wednesday but never took it out of draft mode. Murphy’s vet…

Friday 5: RE:

Time for some lunchtime blogging! I worked for about 5 hours last Sunday, so this workweek officially is 6 days long yet feels 10 days long. This lunch break is an hour long but feels 5 minutes long. Rude. Here’s…

Friday 5: III III III III III

I’m highly editing this first paragraph on Saturday the 10th because I didn’t add my usual linking! The Duke flustered me, I guess. This week’s Friday 5 theme is: III III III III III. I am trying to understand the…

Friday 5: Obstacle Course

This week has completely flown. I feel like other than work, I have nothing to show for it. What have I done? Here’s a few trivial things: I moved my yoga practice to mornings instead of after work. I hate…

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! :)
