Things I have discovered in my first month of homeownership

We use THAT much water?

Pergo + feet in socks = fun!

Too much exposure to yellow and blue plaid wallpaper causes homicidal tendencies

Recycling, though beneficial, is a huge pain in the ass.

Pergo + hyperactive small dog = more fun!

Lawn envy does, in fact, exist.

Letting a dog crap in another person’s garden and not cleaning it up is one of the basest forms of human behavior.

Especially if it’s YOUR dog and MY garden.

There are no shortage of home security companies willing to call me.

Pergo + hyperactive small dog + tennis ball = tears of laughter.

It takes a lot less energy to clean a large house weekly than a small apartment monthly

Thirty years is a VERY long time.

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! :)
