Throwback Thursday: The first Walt Disney World souvenir

In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I've been digging through my memory box - a literal box - of things I've accumulated on my journey from miss to ma'am. I have a lot of Disney merchandise hanging around. From the mirror above yesterday's shamrock bear to the bag I carry every day, I'm pretty well saturated with a corporate logo. It's a little crazy, but it makes me a better person because I can't throw shade at an adult wearing a Hufflepuff House scarf when I have cartoons on my purse. But ...

Wild, wild, Wildwood days

< Did you ever smell an aroma that took you back years? The other day Max and I went for a stroll around the neighborhood. About 10 minutes into the walk, as Max stared down a squirrel, I encountered the scent of old treated wood. It may have been from the nearby telephone pole baking in the sun.But it zapped me back to my early childhood. Every summer, MomMom would rent an apartment in Wildwood, NJ for my aunt, her daughters, MomMom, my mom, and me. This was before the boys arrived in the ...

RIP, President Reagan

March 30, 1981 was a dreary, rainy day. I was in grade 3, and dressed in my Brownie uniform for my after-school meeting. That afternoon, something happened that we never heard before! The intercom came on, and instead of hearing the secretary's voice making an announcement...the radio was playing! Spontaneously, the class began to giggle - wondering how they got a radio to play all over the school!Teacher flipped her lid and began screaming at us that we were bad kids for laughing. She turned ...

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! :)
