Good and Meh 2023 Wk 47

beer kegs stacked in a pyramid with lights around them to resemble a Christmas tree

Good Things: Tuesday: Our HVAC guy, who I’ve known my entire life, came by for our scheduled furnace check/tuneup/cleaning. I always feel very accomplished when I schedule a service and thankful I had money to do it. When you don’t…

Happy Thanksgiving

Dropping in before dinner to say I’m thankful for the group of you who swing by to check up on me and my very boring life. I’m also thankful for my boring life – high dramatics isn’t my thing. I…

Thanksgiving & Black Friday 2020

It was kind of a fraught Thanksgiving in the USA this year, with government officials pleading with people to not travel (people traveled) and keep it small (many did, some didn’t) and not to mix households (difficult). It was especially…

Long Thanksgiving Weekend

TNP closed at 1pm the day before Thanksgiving which is fantastic. The lovely Kristen (and her husband who doesn’t read my blog) hosted this year in their new house. Our job was to make and deliver… My herby homemade bread….

Thanksgiving wrapup

It’s the holiday season, mofos! More importantly there’s only about 3 weeks until the sunshine starts coming back into my life so cheers to that. This year we had Thanksgiving at my cousin S’s house and I was asked to…

Friday 5: Makin’ it

From Tuesday’s post: …, but it’s Franken’s passion for doing what (he believes) is right that shines the brightest. Five stars, and I hope Franken serves Minnesota and the rest of us for as long as he wants. I can…

Thankful

For health and home. For family, close and far away. For friends, in-person and in-pixel. For love and life.

Thanksgiving and NaNoWriMo

Happy Post-Thanksgiving! We drove to Michigan to spend the holiday with WM’s clan. Twelve and a half hours there and thirteen and a half hours back. Deep fried turkey was eaten, and Max and Ollie got to play with their…

Holiday weekend epilogue

Black Friday’s marathon ended around 6pm, and we had a lovely dinner at the Macaroni Grill with John and Kristen. Even though I didn’t go for any of the early-morning offers, I put a sizable dent into my shopping list…

Happy Thanksgiving 2006

Hm. In such an … interesting … year it’s easy to give an ol’ middle finger to Thanksgiving Day. Normally by now I’d be getting ready to pop the bird in the oven. But this year the whole game changed….

Thanksgiving 2004

Thankful This morning, as I continued to coax my turkey into the land of the defrosted, I took a look back at what I wrote last year on Thanksgiving so darned if I’m going to write it out again. 😉…

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! :)
