Six

Six years ago these goofballs said “I do.” It’s a good thing to be married to your favorite person. Not everyone gets to say that. Happy Anniversary, WM. 🙂

My ceramic Christmas tree

I received a lot of fantastic gifts for Christmas (Alex and Ani! A terrarium! Cashmere hat & gloves!), but I want to spotlight one in particular. When I was young, every single house I knew had a ceramic Christmas tree….

Bless me Internet, for I live in sin

Yeeeeeeah. So it’s been a while. And there’s a 500-lb elephant sitting in the middle of my blog that I have to acknowledge. The Wandering Minstrel (who is much cuter than a 500-lb elephant) has moved out here to NJ….

Baby it's cold outside

But I’m in and out anyway. Why? Because a certain Minstrel has Wandered his way into town. Again. And we’re again doing some wandering together. This…this is nice. 🙂 🙂

Devils/Red Wings game

From my cell phone! Multimedia message A certain minstrel wandered into town this weekend. So we wandered together to see my Devils beat his red wings. Edited to add: Red Wings 2, Devils 1. Wandering Minstrel comments banned. 😉

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! :)
