Speaking of Friday Fives
This week was wack so here are five positive things because maybe going thru the motions of typing it out might train my brain yanno?! 1. Had dinner with my Coaster Crew BFF Pam and her friend Greg tonight at Industry Public House and it was soooo fun! Pam also met my brother Corey earlier […]
bits & bobs & bullets
Some things that happened lately that I want to remember, so, bullet-time. Pow Pow. I went to the library last Saturday and my security guard pal, Robert, was very exhausted. He told me that he also works security at PPG Paints and had worked the Drake show the night before, and that he had to […]
Friday Five-al, February Survival
Another boring-ass week of February. Let’s see if I can scrounge up five things from my extremely uneventful life. 1. RetroWaving from Pgh “Hey Erin, what are you listening to when you’re not kpopping?” asks no one. Well, No One! I’m so glad you asked because for the last year or two, my runner-up has […]
Friday Five in Fotos
Another month-long work week has come to an end! For this installment of Friday Five, let’s give our eyebulps (that’s how my cats say it) a rest, put a moratorium on the excessive words, and just look at five pictures from my phone with brief captions I guess. See Chooch, on the phone with the […]
Friday Five: Memories that Stemmed From a Picture of Ancient Me Reading a Book
In my NOSTLAGIA BOX rummaging (I used RIFLING in my last post, so gotta mix it up because once upon a time I was a kinda-writer, remember), I unearthed this old picture of me from 1986 (love that my mom had a camera that lasered the dates on the photos – I bet that was […]
Friday Five: In My Seventeen Season
Every so often, I remember that I like the Kpop group Seventeen (I always associate them with the Kpop aerobics I did back when I was like “I don’t know what these songs are but they’re fun”) and then I fall down the rabbit hole, watching live stages etc., and saying, “I gotta spend some […]
from dark shadows to hambones.
Here’s a picture of that kid who never hangs out with us anymore, + 5 random facts because it’s January and I am feeling it already. I hate hate hate hate hate winter so much. I was obsessed with the reboot of Dark Shadows only because MICHAEL T WEISS was in it and if you […]
Final Friday Five of 2023!
Lessgitit. Ladies Christmas Dinner I had a nice little Christmas dinner with Megan, Marlene, and Debby earlier in the month at Alta Via in Market Square. It definitely lacked the quirkiness, charm, and Kermit of last year’s dinner spot, Zarra: but our server also didn’t have to “run out to get tomatoes” for our salads, […]
Tuesday Think Tank
Let’s free-form the shit of this thing. Last Wednesday night, Henry and I went to see the NCT Nation concert movie in Robinson. This time, there were way more people and even another “kpop husband” was in the crowd. So, NCT Nation was the whole entire NCT conglomerate doing one huge concert together, all of […]
Fridays Fives are Feelin’ Feisty
Remember two years ago when I wrecked our 6mth old car in the cemetery – literally crashed into an ancient road marker – and I was so terrified of my MEAN SON being MEAN to me so I told him Henry did it and then Henry had to go along with it (“Yes, I am […]
Tuesday Thought Trio
Here’s some quick 3 THINGS for you: In a Herculean feat of Adulting, I made the unilateral decision to stay home Thanksgiving weekend. Our tradition since 2018 I think had been to choose an open amusement park and do a road trip ( with the exception of 2020 of course) and this time around we […]
Five Things I Like In November
Wow I was going to write this on Friday so it would be a Friday Five but then I forgot so here’s a Saturday (S)five I guess: HITCHHIKER BREWING CO OR SOMETHING Dude, I’m sitting here having a Pineapple Upside Down Cake beer from this local beer joint and it is the 4th beer from […]
Friday Five, Where You Been, Out with Clive?
Sorry, I needed that to rhyme because I have a disorder. I feel like I haven’t done a Friday Five in a while and today is Friday so what better day to resuscitate this dumb series? I know you guys probably thought I’d still be obsessing over the Taemin comeback, and I am! I am. […]
My Boring September Weekend (See also: Hello Fall, I guess)
You know how sometimes people say, “I could really use a weekend doing nothing”? Anytime I try to be like Those People and “appreciate” do-nothing weekends, I end up writhing in psychological agony on the floor, arm flopped over my forehead, etc etc. Henry was SICK this weekend, and Chooch was “so tired” on Saturday […]
tennis, squirrels, pigs, oh my
All I’ve been doing is frantically trying to preserve my vacation memories on here, but there is daily life crap that I want to also preserve because you know me and my memories, PICTURE THIS BLOG AS A CANNING FACTORY FOR MEMORY PRESERVES. Now “preserves” doesn’t sound right to me. I think I mentioned last […]
tuesday thingalings
I’m not tryna brag or anything but Chooch and I just came home from one of my best trips to the tennis courts yet. I am finally starting to get the power back in my forehands and Chooch was actually playing seriously and not acting like he was twirling around in a baseball field which […]
Friday Five: June Roundup
Here’s a round-up of June leftovers and whatever else from the desk of Erin R. Kelly, Unorganized Blogger. 1. Tennis You guys, I am having the BEST TIME revisiting my old tennis days. I was so worried that picking up a racket after all this time (since the late 90s!) would have me being absolutely […]
Friday (I’m in love) Five
Now that I wrote 3000 words about the Cure concert without ever actually talking about the Cure concert, here are five things about that night that don’t involve me flipping out over a ring. 1. burn Honestly one of my favorite songs, not just by the Cure, but of any artist of all time. Henry […]
Fryday (because It’s 90 degrees) Five
Here are some (FIVE TO BE EXACT) things that I have on my mind today: The First Ed Sheeran Song I’ve Liked (accidentally) OK look, I don’t specifically hate Ed Sheeran or anything. I think he is fine, he doesn’t bother me, but I also could not ever pick his voice out of a line-up. […]
Me, Musing on Monday
Me, telling Henry & Chooch what I want to do on Mother’s Day: “I want to go to Columbus, as we discussed. And then on Mother’s Day Eve—“ Chooch, while Henry mumbled similar sentiments: “NO. That is NOT a thing!” It is when you’re living under *my* roof, bitches. **** In other news, my blog […]
