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 have titled this Macaroon Boon but these are the fancy macarons not the macaroons that I'd make. ...
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 it was fine. You were always a meme sharer, but they were harmless and funny. I don't know if it was Donald Trump's cult of personality or that new church you started attending but hoo boy. You kept communicating primarily by meme but the memes turned dark. Fear of immigrants, fear of ...
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 is VERY photo heavy. Day 1 WM and I have completely different travel aesthetics. I always dress as if I'm headed to a resort, and he dresses as if he's going to explore ruins. We stand out in crowds. We paid extra for these exit row seats, and my reward was having 60+ butts in front of my face ...
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 and planting herbs and (more) grass seed before tomorrow's scheduled rain but it's so dreary and damp out. Instead it's on to the Friday 5! WM: Wait...you said you did the Friday 5? Me: Yes! WM: On a Friday? Me: Yes. WM: The Friday 5. On a ... Friday you say? Me: ... WM: The devil, you ...
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, a season I originally boycotted because I was mad that Monica and Richard broke up. Once I got over my grief I caught most of it in reruns. One of my favorite episodes in Season 3 is "The One with Frank Jr." which had the gang's Celebrity Freebie list as a ...
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 me at ladygypsy (put the at sign here) gmail (here would go the period, or dot) com.Today Mom and I are off to the Collingswood May Fair. If I've learned anything from reading bunches of blogs, it is to get out and see more local events. So I think I will! ...
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 when you had a group of people who worked together as hard as we did and went through as much mindblowing shit as we did while having as much fun as we did, it's 10x harder to say goodbye. this is now the wallpaper on my cellphone. Goodbyes are hard. Feels like my soul is bruised. ...

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 time. Green Day, "Time of your Life" Coworker Damon's (to distinguish him from the millllllllions of other Damons out there) leaving our paper. His last day is Friday. Tomorrow after work a bunch of us are meeting for drinks at Top Dog. It's going to be a very sad thing. Damon and I ...
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 swear, keeping current with teams' uniforms is as hard as keeping your computer up to date.The Blackwells came over this afternoon and we watched the (hilarious) video of our October WDW trip. (sigh) Now I wanna go back....Damn, it's STIL #*(^#^ cold out. I'm cut out to live on an island. ...
