8-3-10

I hate bill day and today is that day
for me. Hoping to get a bonus
from Tony's work but have been hearing
that for the past month or so. Still
got doctor bills to pay, a truck
to repair and
fence panels and cement to buy.
Money just flies outta here like it's
nothing. So feeling bummed as usual
when money starts dwindling down.
If need be I can find stuff during
the college move outs and sell stuff online
to get the bank account back up.
Plus have a few cars to sell. I hate
selling cars and dealing with people!
Tonight we're going out to dinner,
then have to stop by the parts store
then Kroger to get prescriptions.
Someone's always got their hand
out somewhere!

Well gotta take laundry down off
the line and hang up another load.
What are kids doing to go through
so many clothes in one week?
Are they magnetically attracted
to dirt and puddles?

Got a load of laundry taken off the line,
a load washed and put on the line
and a load in the washer.
Should have 1 more load to do.
I got a little behind and don't
think I got but 1 or 2 loads
done last week so am making up
for that this week.

Currently working on weeding out,
decluttering and cleaning our bedroom.
I have a large bookshelf that I want
to take out of our bedroom and relocate
to the basement. I think this would
make an excellent shelf to put
VHS movies on. I have a ton of those!

Eventually I will get back to the
basement. Right now I am working
on the upstairs. That way if I find
stuff that needs to go to the basement
it can go down there now. Then
I can figure out where everything
will go down there when cleaning.
Don't want any surprises in the end
trying to figure out where stuff is
to go.

Break time is over so back to the bedroom
or outdoors to check laundry.
Calgon take me away!!!!!!!!!!!

Homemade OxiClean

1 cup hot water
1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide
1/2 cup baking soda

Mix together and soak laundry in it for 20 minutes to overnight and then wash as usual. Or you can just skip the water and pour the peroxide and baking soda directly into the wash with your laundry soap and wash as usual.

I seen that Sutherlands is having
a sale on their solar lights.
They have a 6 pack for $5.99.
That's $1.00 a light. They've
got to be better than those solar
lights I saw a Dollar Tree.

I want to put them on top the
fence panel posts going around the yard
for extra security.
Tony didn't like the idea
of drilling out the top of the posts
to set the stakes in there so I thought
about getting some U brackets
and putting the stake part
down inside that instead and screwing
them in the fence.

Supper at Texas Roadhouse was wonderful!
After we went to Advance Auto Parts.
Told the guy my step dad worked for them
and he ended up giving me a 20% discount
even though my step-dad wasn't there to
get it for us. Very nice guy! Saved like
$11. Got a rotor button, distributor cap
and a can of Sea Foam. Never heard of
Sea Foam additive before but saw it online
and read reviews. It was given a 5 star
rating, even the guy at Advance said it
was good. So tomorrow gonna give it
a try in the Suburban. It says it
helps rough idle and hesitation.
It's supposed to clean out carbon
and any other gook that might be
slowing an engine down.
