A touristy weekend in Philadelphia

Museum of the American Revolution. A scene of American revolutionaries engaging in a fist (and iceball) fight against each other. Kim is in the background, jeering.

A few weeks ago (okay, over a month ago) some of our Seattle friends came to Philadelphia for a few days and we were lucky enough to be able to show them around. Our first stop was the Museum of…

Find yourself friends who will

Ship you macarons from Lady Yum in Seattle! They are very decadent study treats. Fingers crossed we’ll be able to get back to Seattle next summer. Everyone I know has gone on a vacation and been fine. Also, I would…

The One with the Unfriending

We’ve known each other for a long time but we’re from an era where when you lost touch, you truly lost touch. Because of that I was initially delighted to get back in touch via social media. And for years…

Seattle 2018

As we did in 2017 and 2016 (I didn’t blog that) WM and I went to Seattle to visit our friends last week. It was a great trip, expensively extended by a day due to a cancelled flight. This post…

Friday 5: Guestimation

Another week in the book of Life. WM is still hobbled from the wicked fall he took at work, Ollie is still a Good Dog, and Murphy is still a Good Dog … in Training. I should be going outside…

My Celebrity Freebie list, 2015 edition

Like almost every other blogger out there, I’ve been crawling through Friends on Netflix. Like years ago, my favorites are Phoebe and Chandler. Rachel annoys and Ross can just pound sand. What a jerk. I just finished up season 3,…

Three Day weekend

I got through yesterday with surprisingly much fewer tears than I though. Who knew? I posted some shots of the evening at Top Dog up on Flickr. Not all. Some. If you want them all, AND I KNOW YOU, email…

Damon’s going away party at top dog

From my Treo! Sharon, Damon and me Sharon, Damon and me. We were a great team. I had a great time at Top Dog, though I was in tears the whole way home. Like I said, I hate goodbyes, and…

the long goodbye

Another turning point; a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist; directs you where to go. So make the best of this test and don’t ask why. It’s not a question but a lesson learned in…

January 25, 2003 – evening

Yay! The Wings won 13-11, despite the suckitude of most of the players. If it wasn’t for goalie Dallas Eliuk, we’d be toast. The Wings got new jerseys, so the ones we bought just last year are now obsolete. I…

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! :)
