Post-squish

The entire mammogram, from paperwork to exit, took fifteen minutes. The imaging itself took seven. I took 2 extra strength Tylenol an hour before and had no pain, just discomfort. But nothing crippling -- the technician and I talked the entire time. ...

Currently, pre-squish edition

Sitting here: While I'll be sad to see summer go, I'm pleased that I squeezed in so much outdoor time. Instead of dorking on the internet for a half hour in between each household task, I just do all of the crap at once so I can spend a chunk of that time outside. I've done most of my blog planning here, too. My pepper plants, planted too late, are finally bearing fruit! Er - veg! Planning on planting some lettuce, garlic and beets this fall. Why not try? I may get to be the COO of ...

Dreams: Making that bucket list happen

Tell me what a weird dream this is: The world will be ending in a few days -- predictably & disastrously. I think it was an upcoming natural disaster. I end up in Miami with a bunch of other people. We've taken over a commercial area which includes a gigantic shopping mall. Now usually these apocalyptic dreams of mine end with "I buy a gun, go feral and survive it all." But this one was different. So in my dream I decided to make people's bucket list wishes come true. So for the little old ...

On my usual path to work, there is a 4-lane road. The right lane is the slow lane. The left lane travels MUCH faster; however, occasionally you will come to a screeching halt if someone in front of you is trying to make a left.Every morning I ponder which lane to drive in. USUALLY I'm in the left lane. Trying to get to my destination faster. Inevitably, I end up stopped, while my compatriots in the right lane cruise on by. Yet, when I use the right lane, I mutter at how much more progress the ...

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! :)
