Standard tuning is GCEA (top to bottom) and is probably what you are after

No problem, I think you will find it to be a very fun instrument...and challenging.

I totally want a uke just to mess around with. Are they fun to just play around the house?

Oh yeah, whenever my fiance is asleep I go in the other room and start plucking the uke because it won't wake her up. That and I think it gets her all geared up four our honeymoon to Hawaii
