Saturdays

Are NOT meant for cleaning, I don't believe?

But I've been on the run all week, Monday at gym, Tuesday shopping (spent a whopping $30 even), Wednesday I was home, but vegging on the couch with Survivor, Thursday was the play and Friday was Roccos Tacos! (hey, IF you click on the link be sure your speakers are down low or off as it's LOUD) ...

We got to meet Rocco and his famous peewee herman shoes (and the ice cold patron) ... but anyways....I have a *slight* headache this morning ... and I realize that I should just stay home today instead of running to Costco, Aldis and Walmart ... afterall, whats another day with money in my wallet!

So instead, I opted to tackle a few projects.

1. The closet floor ... uh huh. Set my timer for 15 minutes and went at it. Uh huh. More stuff to the yard sale pile, some stuff to the trash ... and I found a CAT in the process.  3 minutes to spare even after I put the stuff in its respective place.

2.  My huge stash of recipes that have been torn from magazines, written by hand and printed. Wow, it was alot ... but I think Hubby will be impressed that I finally did it. It's been a sore spot for him being cluttery and all ... Amazing how many I threw away (ummm, date stamp of 2007 and I've never tried it? I don't think I was going to miss it horrible now, you know? Of course, I did find a few favorites that I haven't made in a while too ...

3. A stack of papers that have been sitting on the big wall table. Ummm, it started out with SAT and ACT paperwork. Then Sonny Boys graduation papers. Then his stupid Service thingy from the government (IT'S NOT A DRAFT KID, RELAX) ... and the pile just kind of morphed into any thing that didn't need immediate attention (and a cable bill that I would have sworn I paid but didn't ... paid it and this month online at that very second). Stack of papers is now GONE. Filed what needed filed and tossed the rest.

4. Put away the envelope of reciepts as it's full and time for another one...

5. Ordered the training door for the pet door. Good lord. Do they really think a cat is going to bash it's head against this plastic magnetized thing to get out? Um no. The one brat is just sitting there pawing it ... the other just sits there and gives me silent meows and sleepy blinks.

6. Laundry. And more laundry.

I need to clean the fridges out ... all 3 of them. Seriously. With just me and Sonny Boy here this week, a lot of leftovers still here from last weekend that are not fit to be eaten at this point, I'm sure ...

Also would like to tackle the freezers, or at least ONE and get it organized, yet again. Inventoried would be nice too but lets face it, I'm not in for an all day long event!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
