11-1-10

7:50AM

Wonder if it's this cooler weather that
makes your muscles and bones hurt.
Now the pain is back on my shoulder
on the very tip top . It makes it difficult to raise
my left arm. I didn't even care to brush my hair this morning before heading out to the bus stop it because it hurt too much.
I don't know how people
cope with pain all the time without eating
some kind of prescription or OTC medicine.

I don't have plans of going anywhere today
so will just sit at home, do the bills
and maybe do a couple loads of laundry.
I don't have a grocery list for this week.
I might tag along with mom to the store later this week
to check out if there is any Halloween stuff
marked down. I saw Kroger's had their stuff
marked down to 75% off yesterday.

I heard on the news this morning that
LCD TV's will be coming down in price
by 25%!! I don't remember why
just remembered them saying that.

Finally going through my Columbus Sunday Dispatch
and wanted to point out a few deals I see.

on the boxes.

I think if I had to think of a Christmas gift to
tell Tony I wanted this year it would
be another steamer.
One that I could also use on clothes
to get the wrinkles out.
I had a regular cleaning steamer
but it doesn't seem to want to work.
Wonder if it's from hard water deposits.
I would recommend putting distilled water
in them instead of tap water.
Might fill it with some CLR
and let it sit to see if it will clear it out.
I found this forum about Scunci Steamers
not wanting to put out steam.

At the moment if I find clothes that are
wrinkled I mist a spray combination
of water mixed with a little fabric softener
then pull on the fabric slightly to remove the wrinkles.
I suggest doing this the night before
because kids have complained their clothes
feel damp if I do this right before they get dressed.

----------------------------

11:00AM

I finally broke down and took some Ibuprofen.
It hurts to walk. Waddling like a penguin.
Whole body feels stiff and joints hurt.
This sucks!! I got things to do
and keep putting them off because of it.

You know what's crazy is that yesterday while
at Kroger they didn't hesitate to pull the Halloween
items off the shelves and start putting up
Christmas things! Uh I do believe we missed
a holiday called Thanksgiving!
I see advertisements on TV for Christmas
stuff also. How about a commercial
starting an early Black Friday sale?
AHHHHHHH!!
I'm so tired of stores trying to push
Christmas items and gift buying on you
earlier and earlier each year.
They wouldn't have to do this, this time
of year if they would just give us better
deals all year long so we can slowly shop
for Christmas throughout the year!
I have already informed the kids that
I had a word with Santa to let him
know we moved into a smaller house
and cannot receive lots of gifts starting this year
with no space to put them.
So starting this year we will be getting
fewer presents.

------------------------

Well I laid down around 11:15AM
and didn't get back up til 3:10PM.
When your body hurts ya don't feel
like doing much of anything but laying down.

---------------------------

I finally had a couple more of my Glade candle designs
approved and put on their site.
Like I said for every entry you put in
they had to approve it first before
posting it in their gallery.
I still have other entries waiting approval
and will show you them once they go through.
So here are other entries I did.

WAVES OF LAVENDER


GARDEN LATTICE


-------------------------------------

I am currently working on trying to
get my Scunci steamer working again.
me and hubby tore it apart.
It seemed to have hard water build up in it.
I rinsed and shook it a few times
and yuck stuff came out of it.
Next I filled it with vinegar
and turned it upside down to sit overnight and soak.
I am looking for some CLR to put in it
also and let soak.
I'd hate to see my steamer go to waste
and not be able to be used.
They are not cheap and I got this
from my honey about 4 years ago as a gift.
Here is the exact Scunci steamer that
I have with bag and all attachments.
My set actually came with a bonus
rechargeable stick vac which never worked.




----------------------------------------------------------------



Tonight I was rummaging around the basement
looking to see if we had any CLR, which we didn't
have any that I could find. I ran across a product
called The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner.
Says on bottle supposed to help remove
lime, calcium and hard water build up in
toilet bowls.
After putting a little in my Scunci I put some
in our toilet bowl which has build up,
allot of build up, along the sides!
Gross looking but nothing we have done
makes it come clean.
I probably found this stuff when DDn
is why I even have it.
Didn't even know I had it really.
But let me tell ya this stuff works wonders!
Immediately it took off the build up
with help from a toilet brush!
Tony was even amazed!
We were to the point of either putting
acid in the bowl from his work
or putting in another toilet.
I did a search to see where I could find more
of this stuff and how much it costs.
Possibly found at Dollar Tree.
Other stores run about $2-$3 a bottle.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!
I really hope I can find it at Dollar Tree for a buck!
I can't believe how fast this stuff worked!!
It doesn't smell the greatest
and you don't want to get it on your skin,
clothes or elsewhere. At this point I don't care.
It's better than looking at a disgusting toilet
or have company look at it also!

I'm not a coffee drinker but find myself
sometimes making my honey coffee in the mornings
in the coffee pot. I have no clue of how much to put
in the darn maker and just guess.
He says his coffee tastes perfect.
I saw this in an email of how much
coffee you should be putting in the coffee
maker to make it correctly.
"
Rule of thumb for making coffee...1 Tablespoon for every 2 cups...level it and a shake a smidgeon off you don't like it strong"
