Looking forward to an exciting
day of doing laundry and
watching the Daytona 500.

------------------------
My tip when storing dry mixes,
flour, sugar, rice
or even pasta in the pantry for
long periods of time is to
put them in zip bags to keep
out any critters or bugs.
This is the reason I got
the ziploc bags today.
While I don't see any critters
or bugs I'm not taking any chances with
loosing food that might not
have an inner bag inside
it's box.
Or you could reuse coffee cans
or plastic bowls to store them in.
---------------------------
With Spring, hopefully in the near
future, the mud and stains
on children's clothes will be appearing
more and more.
Try these things on clothes stains
instead of buying the more expensive
stuff made especially for clothing treatments.
-Dawn dish soap
-A mixture of 40% mean green
and 60% water in a bottle.
-hand sanitizer removes paint from clothing.
-vinegar.
-1 cup hot water
2:40pm
Time to start my laundry.
I go around each room and gather
the laundry and throw it down
the basement steps.
Then I go around with a large fabric
grocery bag and collect all the hangers.
I take the bag to the basement, hang
up all the hangers on the bar
for the hangable clothes.
Then reuse the bag to bring up
all the items that I don't fold in it
like socks & undies and put them
in their drawers.
-------------------------------
3:50pm
Boy, boys, boys!
What in the world are they doing
to their clothes that I am constantly
finding rips, some even in the backs
of their shirts???
Today I found a sweater that
had a long rip down the sleeve
with strings hanging off.
They wouldn't let me throw it
away so out came the thread and needle.
BEFORE
There was even a small frayed
spot in the red part of the fabric
near the cuff that I fixed also.
where the black thread overhangs
the red area.
AFTER
5:20pm
And yet another shirt with
a large hole, ahhhhh!
I don't have money to keep
buying clothes so out comes
the needle and thread again!
Here is my mending kit I got
at a yard sale many years ago for $1.25.
It sure has come in handy with
all the different colors of thread!

6:00pm
Did 1/4 mile on the jogger machine.
Upped it to level 4
which is a little more strenuous
with more resistance.
Oh yeah my upper legs feel
like mush at the moment with the burn.
Now working on supper
and tomorrow's breakfast
in between loads of laundry.
Everyone's watching Unstoppable again.
2 boxes Hamburger Helper's cheesy ranch
$1.00
2 pouches tuna fish- free
Total cost: $1.00
Serves 6 @ .16 cents a serving
Breakfast
Real blueberry muffins
mix
with homemade glaze.
I don't remember how much
they cost as they've been sitting
in the pantry for awhile now.
No school tomorrow due
to President's Day.
---------------------------------
Tomorrow I'm gonna work
on some banana bread
made from pancake mix.

10:15pm
Decided to get my butt up
off the couch and ride the jogger
while watching Titanic.
I did another .42 miles for
a total of 1 mile today.
If I could do this for 30 days
it would be like going 30 miles, whew!
Or like fast walking to and from my
honey's work near Upper Arlington
three times!
Not noticing a weight difference yet
but I didn't expect it this early.
It takes time, even a couple months.
You have to burn off 3,500 calories
to lose a pound!
At the moment I am only burning 400
calories per mile which would only
be a little more than 3 pounds a month.
I'd like to get up to 2 miles a day
but will do it gradually since I
am just starting out.
2 miles a day would be
almost 7 pounds in a month.
Looking forward to an exciting
day of doing laundry and
watching the Daytona 500.
