Friday 5: I want the fairy tale

Happy Friday, which is also You’re Welcomegiving Day (truly the silliest one I’ve seen while compiling this list each week), National Native American Heritage Day, and Buy Nothing Day. Which, sigh. If you want to stay home today, stay home….

Friday 5: Roll the bones

friday november 17

Happy Friday, which is also National Homemade Bread Day and, fittingly, National Butter Day. I wonder if they planned that. We are a multi-butter household. WM prefers Country Crock spread, and I prefer Kerrygold in a butter bell on the…

Wow! Hello! Happy Friday! It’s been a hot minute. Here’s a catchup: My knee is at 95% and is giving me no trouble aside from a pang every once in a while. I’m fortunate to have a job where I…

Happy Friday! I *could* say that it’s also National Orange Wine Day (wha?) or National Chocolate Covered Pretzel Day (mmm!) but nope. Today is the birthday of my sister-in-law, the lovely Kristen! She is a bright light and a joy…

Happy Friday, which is National Coffee Day, National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and National VFW Day. (A VFW is a great place to get a cheap beer, if you know someone who can get you in.) I don’t make…

Friday 5: Don’t tip the boat over

Happy Friday, friends! It’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day, Car Free Day (I take public transit at every opportunity, but I also think the car free movement can be unrealistic) and American Business Woman’s Day. I’m observing that day…

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

friday, september 1

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),…

Friday 5: Until it hurts

Happy Friday, and my last official Summer Friday of the season. Booooo! I’m not down the shore because it’s been raining off and on all day both here and there. Instead, WM and I had breakfast at a lovely twee…

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! :)
