The music that I love to listen to in summer

the chillhop raccoon

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…

Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 22

My normal-shabby back patio slab, but now it has a terracotta outdoor rug, a black table & chair set with happy turquoise cushions, and two loungers with tiki pillows. There is also a hanging plant with red flowers.

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! :)
