A former slob cleans her house: the disgusting countertop ice maker

Here’s another organizational tip from me, your GenX older cousin/uncool aunt who hates the word “edit” being used for “houseclean.” My freezer is packed with chicken, eggos, and popsicles (add in Doritos and we have my own personal four food…

A former slob cleans her house: the memory box

two boxes - on the left is a very old cardboard boot box filled with junk I call memories - on the right is a nicer box

Here’s another organizational tip from me, your GenX older cousin/uncool aunt who hates the word “edit” being used for “houseclean.” Do you have a box/boxes of memories that are out of control or literally falling apart? Here’s a little nudge…

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…

A long weekend with a longer one to come

An AI-generated image of me looking regal in honor of Spare

This is what a three-day weekend looks like when you’re a middle-aged adult: This will be a short yet hectic workweek because I have a half-day tomorrow (aforementioned mammogram with ultrasound if necessary and I swear to Pete if I…

A tip to keep your sheet sets organized!

A few years ago, Martha Stewart suggested folding your sheets and storing them in one of the pillowcases. Like such: I’m TOTALLY on it.

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! :)
