Friday 5: Discomfort

friday may 26

Happy Friday, which is also National Road Trip Day, National Cooler Day, and MOST importantly, the 16th anniversary of WM packing up his Jeep and driving from Michigan to my Dee-luxe Apartment in the Sky to start our lives together after a scant long-distance internet relationship. In hindsight, we were both very stupid and risky but it worked out so we try not to dwell on how ridiculous it was. It's been a delightful week off. I had my hair done, I worked on some projects around the house, ...

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. They were maybe 18" tall (but varied), with glass or plastic bulbs stuck into them, and then lit with a light bulb on the inside. Some were handpainted, some were factory produced. My grandmother and my mom had them. Mom's broke. MomMom's was passed onto someone who cared more ...

14

Post-divorce anniversaries are awkward. The date itself has never failed to trigger a reaction. I know it's April 5th. It's part of my blood. I can't forget it. The strange part is that because I stopped counting each year (or in the early part, half-years), I have to do the math to figure out how many it would have been. 2011 - 1997 is 14. 14. On this day I tip my virtual hat to BvP and hope he's doing well, wherever the tides have taken him. ...

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. He's here in ChezGypsy with me. And I really haven't found a good way to tell you. Sure, I've hinted hither and yon about his visits and things we've done together. Flowers for my birthday and Valentine's day. That kind of stuff. But as much as I can blog about personal things as ...

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! :)
