Happy Cinco de Marcho!

I was talking to WM not long ago — babbling, really — and I said that if I owned a Mexican restaurant, I would make a big deal for Cinco de Marcho and see how many people I could fool…

Upstairs, downstairs

Stampy is the little kid that belongs to one of the people who lives upstairs. Stampy visits on Wednesday nights and every other weekend. We can tell Stampy is here from hearing the constant thumping on our ceiling/their floor. Stampy…

Still here

I guess I have to get my car inspected after all!

I prefer the word "eccentric" thank you very much.

You know those powerball jackpots that come up every once a year and get us all dreaming? I have many of the same items on the “what would I do” list as most people. And then there’s this one. There’s…

A delightfully wrapped parcel

We purchased something at the Celtic Fling last week and the shop owner took great care in making sure it was protected against breakage. Then she felt the need to decorate it with pretty ribbon. What could this daintily-wrapped package…

..and I'll take the ceramic Dalmatian for six points!

I received this in my email box today and … well… you tell me. I’m torn. I guess for some people this will work but for me this is the tackiest thing I’ve seen in a long time. (And I…

Additional fees apply for om-symbol branding

My Facebook advertising sidebar is a source of joy to me these days. Here’s what popped up recently: Yoga already stinks of sweat and patchouli. Adding horse manure to the mix doesn’t sound ommm-ful.

I know what this title should be, but I refuse to type it

Waiting for the shuttle outside of work a few nights ago, I overheard the following conversation. Mostly overheard, as I was trying not to get slaughtered at Words With Friends. (Didn’t work. Want an easy WwF win? I’m ladygypsy, naturally….

Wordy Wednesday

This means that I have to dress in layers for work. When I get into work, it’ll be cold. Our building is older and doesn’t adjust well to changes in temperature. Then at around 10am, someone will meander by, unlock…

The Feeling Up of the Green

Email conversation, today: Me: I’m trying to remember – do I have dumb St. Patty’s day things to wear tomorrow? WM: Hrm. Not sure. You could always hit up Spencers or Target for props. Me: Ugh. Not Spencers. I’d get…

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! :)
