Slowly but surely, my WoW Classic characters are making progress! Lyotta hit level 60, the highest level you can achieve in the game. She is currently spending time making gold so that she can buy the fastest horse in the…

Warcraft Escapism

Since it’s the only “travel” I’ll be doing in the near future, I may as well enjoy the scenery. As of this morning Leota Lyotta is 26, Kevashandia is 21, and I have a level 6 shaman named Vanderhoof. Lyotta’s…

Off the Wagon

Many of you know that I played World of Warcraft (WoW) for MANY years. I left the game for good* about 4 years ago because houses are WORK and keeping a WoW character current is also WORK. World of Warcraft…

End of an era

I finally did it. I cancelled my World of Warcraft account. It’s been months since I logged in and when I totaled the money I spent on entertainment that I didn’t experience, I decided to pull the plug. For now….

Lok’tar Dog-ar!

A short while ago we purchased the fleecy Horde throw from Blizzard’s Spring Clearance sale. It was originally $70 (!) but I think we ended up paying less than $20 for it. It’s very fluffy and I said that we…

The story of OllieBear

This is my dog, Ollie. He is the younger of my two dogs. He’s one of the best dogs you could ever ask for, but he’s not very bright. That’s okay. He’s perfect the way he is. When Ollie gets…

See ya later, Azeroth

As of today, I am no longer a World of Warcraft player. (pauses for the appropriate gasp) This’ll mark the first day since 2/14/2001 that I don’t subscribe to one (or more) Massive multiplayer online role-playing game. I suppose part…

A tour of Calliope

Calliope is my iPod…I got her for Christmas. Calliope comes to work with me every day and helps me to stay focused on my tasks as opposed to having my brain waves interrupted by the cacophony around me. Seriously, there…

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! :)
