afternoon girls!
I am pooped and my ears are still ringing a little and the palms of my hands are still bright pink and a little numb. First off, Jack wanted DONUTS for brkfast this am and only likes them from one place so we got up at 4:30 am and drove to Howard's. (BTW, I didn't get ANY for myself
) then at 7 did about 20 minutes of weights, around 7:30 am I got out on the deck and started cleaning it up (we have a big tree in our little strip of dirt around the deck and 2 trees next door so ...) I cleaned the cloth patio chairs with Tilex (does great to kill the mold from rain etc), wiped them all down, cleaned the glass top table and cleaned the outside of the grill, THEN at 9 am (this is where the hands and ears come in) I took the blower and blew all the leaves to the street and blew out the garage too (wanted to vacuum them up, but couldn't figure out how to make the blower suck them into the bag!
), THEN went back and reswept everything. I put up my outside broom in the garage, closed the door and walked back on the patio, the tree decided to be "funny" and dropped a bunch of leaves back on the patio!
I said to heck with it and came inside, muttering to the stupid tree!
So now, I have the rest of the day to screw around.
Ok, I have to tell someone this story. I went and got my nails done yesterday and was sitting under the dryer. The pedicure chairs are right next to the dryers and I was watching the nail tech doing this ladie's legs. This place does a great pedicure with massage. Anyway, I digress. I looked at this lady, who happened to be black so you would have thought it wouldn't be obvious, but OH BROTHER! She had more hair on her legs than a gorilla! I kept thinking about the nail tech having to massage Magilla and oooohhhhhh!
I mean, it is one thing to either get lazy and not shave, not shave during winter, or be "european" in your thinking, but man, don't make someone massage your legs then......
Gail: I doubt very much Yankee Candles use any soy as there is debate about it. I saw a message board on a candlemaking website where they argued about it, one saying it was tree hugger mentality and the other lady who uses soy exclusive made a very very good point. Soy is a VEGETABLE product, parrafin which is the ingredient in most wax is a PETROLEUM based product so it makes sense that it would smoke, burn less clean etc than a vegetable based product. It doesn't seem more expensive though. My dd loves soy candles over the others and swears by them. ICK, what an awful thing to happen at something you should have been able to enjoy. Problem is, most pet owners, cats especially, are not very diligent about cat hair etc. I know that Butterscotch sheds, though Fortune not much at all, but I have a powerful vacuum and clean it out after every vacuuming and there is always loads of hair in it and that is just the floors. I know it can't ALL be my husband's hair!
I guess I better go and find something constructive to do. I have been listening to a book on tape today and may go back to that or read the 2 new paperbacks I bought yesterday.
have a great weekend everyone!
