Sunday 5:Unfinished business

a monitor upon a plastic stand with a shelf. The keyboard is pushed beneath it

(new fall banner – boo fall!) Posting this on Sunday because on Friday I went to AutoZone, Goodwill, the Post Office, Dollar Tree, the Container Store, and Wegmans and by the time I would normally blog rolled around I was…

A former slob cleans her house: keyrings

seven empty keyrings and a very worn covid-era door opener/button pusher

Here’s another organizational tip from me, your GenX older cousin/uncool aunt who hates the word “edit” being used for “houseclean.” How long has it been since you’ve really LOOKED at your keys? Between Mom and I, we managed to eliminate…

calendar page for friday july 16

Happy Friday! This week is my summer Friday, but it wasn’t supposed to be. Fun fact: the Big!Work!Upgrade! that was supposed to launch yesterday has been pushed to September. I was planning on forgoing my Summer Friday today to work…

Jewelry Storage Redo

When we moved into the house on Literary Lane five years ago I had envisioned storing my jewelry on top of my dresser in open displays and on cute, quirky dishes and bowls. Everything in front of me. So boho,…

Closet – before and after

I have glorious closet here in the House on Literary Lane that I swore I could never fill in a million years. (laugh track) I gave it a good re-organizing the other day and for those of you who enjoy…

March planner pages

I’m still at it with my paper planners. I ordered from Paper Source again, but this time I got the 12 month one instead of the 18 month one. Strictly because it’s lighter to carry around with me. It was…

On organization

Happy New Year! My New Year Resolution list is short, since I usually fail anyway: 1) To be a more active in-person friend. I love my home and my routine, and as I get older I’m more and more reluctant…

Stupid Beading Tricks: Organization

I have a lot of beading supplies these days. Enough to fill a plastic four drawer unit that sits next to my desk. But that’s not always practical when I’m working on one or two projects. I’m too lazy to…

2011 calendar roundup

I feel most miserly in the early parts of January, when I buy my calendars* for half price. But I’m a happy miser because I LOVE the calendar ritual. Want proof? See my 2010 and 2009 posts. After two years…

New Year, same me

Well, hello, Blog! (nervous laugh). Happy New Year! I’ve become a subscriber to Better Homes & Gardens magazine. That seems odd since I have neither a home nor a garden, but a one-year subscription was offered to me at $5….

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! :)
