Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 22

My normal-shabby back patio slab, but now it has a terracotta outdoor rug, a black table & chair set with happy turquoise cushions, and two loungers with tiki pillows. There is also a hanging plant with red flowers.

DIYing (not dying)

Rabbit Rabbit! Happy June, my favorite month of the entire year. I love the long sunny days and the warm weather. I love the end of the school year and taking the laptop outside in the mornings to work. A…

Friday 5: Texture (and a remembrance of my red sofa)

Friends, the time has finally come for us to let go of the red sofa that was a fixture of my very first single-lady apartment. (that blog post is pure gold, by the way) Purchased in 2006, the red sofa…

Fractured Fairy Tales

Woof. Finally the nonbloggable becomes bloggable – Mom (aka A-Woww) tripped and fell 2 weeks ago, fracturing her kneecap and shattering her elbow. The knee will heal on its own in an immobilizer which thankfully allows her to walk. The…

February update

Hello, lovelies! I was going to quietly sunset this blog after the last post but UGH I miss it too much. So you’re stuck with sporadic updates until I die or retire and can’t afford hosting, I guess. Today is…

We bought a house!

Reason # 1298437 why my blog will never make money — when Big Life Events happen, I stop writing. I can’t help it. I’m always afraid I’m going to jinx things. Short story: We finally found a house, bought it,…

Lovely weekend

Aye, t’was a lovely weekend indeed. The weather was in the high 80’s, which used to be higher than average for May. But in this new era of weather, where springs and autumns only exist for a week, it seemed…

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! :)
