I could have fixed Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser

Hi. I’m Kim. I’m an adult who likes Disney, but not a Disney Adult, which is why we never even entertained the thought of spending $5,000 on two meager nights in Disney’s Star Wars themed hotel with 100 windowless rooms….

Did you know that German Chocolate Cake isn’t actually German? It was created here in the US, but the chocolate used for it was a sweet baking chocolate created for the Baker’s chocolate company by a man named Samuel German….

Mothers Appreciation Phillies Game 2023

Mom and me, in Phillies garb.

A while back I realized that, more than anything, my Mom enjoys spending quality time with us*. So rather than looping through the usual Mothers Day gift guides and/or paying a lot to go out to dinner with large crowds,…

The cutest little scoop

a clear plastic scoop with my index finger next to it for scale. It's smaller than my finger

A while ago I bought store-brand OxiClean and it didn’t come with a scoop in it. After a few loads of tossing oxygen bleach into my washer like salt bae, I went online and bought a scoop. It’s the OXO…

Home improvement superhero – sorta

screen door on a work bench with the screen coming out of the corner

Our back screen door needed some help. The screen on the upper half had holes all through it. And no, not just the natural holes in the screen, extra holes. Larger holes. And three years ago, Murphy tore through the…

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! :)
