As you all know I am moving. And I am going to miss a lot of things about living in Arizona. But here is one thing I will not miss: Owning a pool. I have had two jouses with pools, and while they were fine a lot of the time. They always took so much…

What a Week – House Adulting
WOW! This week has been quite a week in the saga of buying a house in Idaho. Let’s break it down day by day: Monday: Got a call from April at the title company in Idaho asking about the Closing Disclosure (CD), and if I had seen it yet or not. I said, I wasn’t…
Toilet Paper Preferences
Yes, I am going to write about toilet paper. I don’t think of myself as someone that is a toilet paper diva. It is true that I don’t like the TP at my school where I work. But honestly who really likes that industrial TP? I have used TP made from recycled paper before and…

Wait – more repairs?
Why, yes, I had to do more repairs over the last few days. First is our standup freezer. A couple weeks ago it gave me an alert that it was at a high temp. So, I tried to figure out what was going on. I really hoped it wasn’t going bad since it has a…
The Dryer Repair
So, the other day I talked about things needing to be fixed around the house once we got back from our trip. Well time to add one more to the list – the dryer. I went to get laundry out of the dryer the other day and half of it was still quite wet. So,…
Home Repairs After the Vacation
As you all know I recently got back from 7 weeks in 3 foreign countries. I hope you have been enjoying reading about the trip from my point of view. There is much more to come. I think you are about half way through the trip at this point (or thereabouts). Well, once we got…
