Wednesday Fun.

I always forget to look, but yesterday I
posted blog #1050!!!!
Wow.

I love Wednesdays.

It USED to be the day I washed all my eggs.

So just not having to do that anymore

makes this a good day by default.

(grin)

It's also the day we get a new

Trim Healthy Mama podcast.

It's 45 minutes of random chatter

between the sisters with little nuggets

of knowledge interspersed in.

It's mostly just fun.

Kyle mentioned that he was tired of

always buying (or swiping from me)

rolls of paper towels.

Amazing how that works when you start

paying your own bills, eh?

So he went to his Wal-Mart and bought a

stack of cheap dishcloths.

(18 rags for $3.98!)

He keeps them in a drawer in his kitchen

and everyday when he washes his dishes

and cleans his sink and counters he grabs

a washrag instead of a handful of paper towels

and when he is done he tosses it directly

into the washing machine.

I thought that sounded brilliant, so I went

out yesterday and got me a stack.

I don't have any empty drawer

(he has a brand new kitchen so he has lots

of empty drawers...)

so I just have them stacked on top of my

microwave. I'll probably get a cute basket

or something, but for now...

Anyhow.

This morning after I ate my breakfast it

was time to clean my kitchen.

Grabbed a washrag.

It worked great!

The rag has a little bit of a nap to it,

so it actually cleaned better than

a paper towel!

And when I was done, it went right

into the washing machine.

SLICK!

Thanks Kyle!

(Yes, I know, EVERYBODY already does that...

but I've been a paper towel fan for years...)

Rod mentioned today that he was out of

breakfast bars. So as soon as I get my pan

out of the dishwasher, that's on my list of things

I need to do today.

I have two 9x13 pans, I think this week I

will make both a pan of german pancake and

a pan of giant blueberry pancake.

That way he will have some variety in his life.

And as long as the oven is on,

I'm going to bake some bacon

and even make some lemon poppy seed cupcakes.

My Roomba ran this morning, so this is also when

I mop my floors. No point in mopping when there

is a bunch of stuff on the floor.

There is ALWAYS sand on my floors.

But its better after the Roomba spends an hour

bumping around.

(Which reminds me, I probably need to

dump her out...)

Kyle got a letter letting him know he had jury

duty today, but luckily when he called last

night they didn't need him.

Which means no quick trip today!

Good news since he is NEARLY finished

prepping his fields. He would really like to

get the seed in the ground before the rains

really get started.

He still needs to get here a little earlier than

usual on Friday because his tags and 

drivers license will all expire on Sunday

(his birthday)

so he needs to spend Friday afternoon at

the DMV. 

I'll make an appointment for him,

so hopefully it won't be an all afternoon thing.

Meanwhile, I've got YouTube playing

a bunch of videos from a young cattle farmer.

He kind of reminds me of Kyle.

He sees something that needs doing,

and then he does it.

And if there is a way to make it BETTER,

he does that too.

(Right now he is fixing his cattle squeeze chute...)

I'm learning a lot!

Anyhow, time to get back to it.

Enjoy YOUR Wednesday!
