Listening to: Surfer Girl

It’s by the Wheeland Brothers, a duo out of California. It’s nine years old but that makes it one of the newer songs on Radio Margaritaville. Maybe I have the glimmer of an oncoming summer in my eyes, but I…

IN THE DRUNK TANK

Back in the mid 00s I created a Pandora channel named “Younger Guys with Guitars Who Sing to Me About How Great I Am” and even though he’s calling me an old hag on junk (half of that is true)…

The music that I love to listen to in summer

Still bopping along with blog prompts to get me through my season of malaise, which is either lifting or I’m becoming accustomed to it. This one is “what kind of music do you love to listen to in summer?” I…

TikTok made me do it: two songs and a cake

Yes, I have a TikTok account. My TikTok content is 85% based on who I follow and the content that I like (Disney, nerdery, happy dancing, humor) and 15% completely random content. For example, I’m currently watching the entirety of…

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! :)
