Good morning girls! It is an old story, but it is still steamy here. That seems to be the norm for awhile and we still can't get any rain. The first of the week there was literally rain all around us, but the metro area to about 30 miles out each direction had no rain!
Gloria: I see where Paula's two sons now have a traveling food show they do. I think the one, not Bobby but the other one, just got married a few months ago. I agree her stuff is loaded with fat and sugar, but that is southern cooking for you. I have been tempted to take a couple of her recipes and fool with them. She loves butter, I'll tell you that. She puts butter in everything! I have to take one of those tests about every other year I have an exam. I go two weeks from tomorrow for my yearly. They put you through the paces with tests and stuff and I really like our eye dr. He is a younger guy, kind of quiet, but really nice. One thing that gets me though is they charge $50 for contact fitting even if you don't change contacts. I have had the same prescription for 3 years and have to pay the darn fee every year anyway and all she does is hand me my boxes. This year because of the insurance screw up, I have to pay for the whole thing out of pocket so I am just ordering one box for each eye then the rest on line because they are almost $10 a box cheaper.
I try and be really careful when I clean my bathrooms as they have no outside ventilation, but I inhaled chemical fumes yesterday and boy did I get sick. I think what happened is I had to spray the inner shower curtain for mildew and then when I washed the tub, the stuff I used cast off fumes and the two fumes together made me sick. I didn't mix the chemicals to clean, but obviously it doesn't make any difference. I had the fan going but it wasn't enough so from now on I think I will put a portable fan on in there when I am working to blow out the fumes. The bathroom is pretty tiny and that probably doesn't help either. Unfortunately, I cannot find anythig to work on mildew but a clorine product and I have used every product, including natural stuff like baking soda and water, etc for the tub ring that Jack's "work" causes and nothing works but Kaboom. It is supposed to be all natural, but that has to be bologna because it and the Tilex combined odor that caused me problems. Live and learn I guess. Like I said, I have always been so careful with the stuff that I think it shocked me too.
I got an email from our son yesterday and he said his new job is going well. I teased him because his title is "sales engineer" and his email has his title, company logo etc etc on it. I told him he would be too high and mighty for his parents pretty soon! If you knew Jay, you would know how really ridiculous that statement is. If there is one person who is down to earth, it is Jay. He never meets a stranger so I imagine that is why he is so good at what he does.
I guess I better go and get the bed made upstairs and do the dusting. I never got it finished after cleaning the bathrooms yesterday and I want to get the vacuuming done upstairs too and it is going to be another horribly hot day so I need to get it finished early.
Have a super day gals and if we don't see here before the weekend, have a great weekend!
