Oh my geez, it’s cliched but TGIF. I mentally limped toward the finish line this week. If you don’t mind, I’m skipping right to the Friday 5 this week. The theme is Happy hour and I’m here for that! I’m…

Friday 5: Kickoff

A chaotic Friday morning + an in-person board meeting this afternoon + a small birthday celebration this evening = a very late and short Friday 5 post. This week’s theme is: Kickoff. Let’s go!

Friday 5: More questions about our favorite topic

Rabbit rabbit! Happy September, which, blah. Even though it continues to be actual, official summer through September 22, I am trying to switch myself into an autumnal mindset. Today is also National Forgiveness Day (I forgive, I do not forget),…

Happy .. um, Saturday! It’s also National Lipstick Day, International Tiger Day, and National Chicken Wing Day. My workweek was so busy that I switched my Summer Friday with a coworker so I *could* work yesterday. That gave me the…

Hello! I’m back from Virginia Beach, where Mom and I had a great time despite a ton of heat and humidity. Even though I slathered myself in sunscreen and stayed under an umbrella most of the time, I still ended…

Friends, I am TIRED. I am feeling all of my 50 years today plus maybe 10 more. I have been emotionally cranked up about various things over the last month-plus (WM’s surgery, my colonoscopy, two car tows, upcoming Virginia beach…

Friday 5: Midyear examination

Happy Friday, which is also National Dive Bar Day, National Macaroni Day, and WM’s knee surgery day! That went very well and he’s currently snoozing on the sofa. It won’t cure all of his knee-related ills but it will hopefully…

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! :)
