Cleaning

      Cleaning makes me feel good.  More like, a clean space makes me feel good.  I like having control over a space whether it's my room, bathroom, or car.   I like experimenting with different cleaners and using wash clothes and sponges instead of paper towels.  I like using GREEN cleaners instead of things like Comet.  I just ran out of the multi-purpose Windex with vinegar so I decided that I should just refill it with vinegar and water.  So I did!  I'll probably look up the different concentrations of vinegar for different cleaning products.  Some recipes I just found!  NEVER mix bleach with ammonia or vinegar!  The combination creates toxic fumes! 
Here's some more! I think I like these better.

      Extreme Cheapskates is a show I watched the other day and I thought it was pretty neat.  I didn't think they were crazy...though I probably wouldn't have the guts to dumpster dive or not use a moist towelette to wipe my rear! I hate the Panera commercial that plays before every one, though I love Panera...but I kept watching and ran into "I poop like everyone else."  So poetic!  Haha!  I don't think I would pee in a jar but I already let it mellow every now and then.  Now that I think of it...I'm not sure if I flushed at work yesterday!  Oh well, It'll be me getting back at my coworker for not putting the seat down.

      All of this gives me a really neat idea for Christmas presents!  I wont say anymore, but my wheels are turning!  I don't know if I'm going to buy anything that's on any one's Christmas lists...though when we get older our list seems to get smaller.  No more Barbies or other toys on my lists.  Now it's a computer and Photoshop and Archiver's giftcards! 

      A list:

• Buy stamps for mailing letters and cards!
• Get my hair cut...or just suffer the growth (I'll at least wait for another paycheck)
• Buy 10 sheets of cardstock and Get 10 sheets of cardstock free!!!

That's all I've got for now because I've already cleaned my sink and toilet...I dusted my room yesterday though I probably should vacuum my rug (my cat loves that rug).  Plus I vacuumed out my car and did the windows though I'm still waiting for the carpet spray to dry so I can vacuum that too.  Maybe it has by now! (Ya know...spelling vacuum "vaccum" seems more correct...but it's now.  Damn.)

      Just so you know..I am now in love with country music.  It's on at work because it's one of the calmer types of music out there and last night were the CMT awards and it was AMAZING!  It started off with 3 guys I had never seen before but then they came back out later to sing each of their own songs and I was like "Oh!  I know this song!"  They are all such ladies and gentlemen when it comes to winning awards...nobody telling Taylor Swift off, though I don't I think she won anything.  She has gotten so much better since she started and I liked her when she first came out!  However, now when I listen back to the old stuff I kind of cringe.  Oh well!  I hope to update my albums with some new Taylor and perhaps some Keith Urban.

      I'm glad I didn't wait to wake up 'til 10 this morning!  I've gotten so much done already!  I made some cards yesterday and I hope I can find a good way to use them...I might need to go out a buy a stamp or some letters for this center piece I punched out for each one.  I made 10 colorful cards!  I shall post some!

Love,
Emily :)
