For the first time in many years, we have a whole bunch of kids now living in our subdivision. So I'm thinking of some good Halloween stuff, beyond the usual severed heads and limbs.
Well, I'm excited!
SO is home after 3.5 weeks away. I'm just enjoying having her home.
Like. That's sweet, Andy.
So much for the joys of bachelorhood.
absence makes the heart grow stronger, huh andy?
It's great to hear you say that. I hope you told/showed her how much you're enjoying having her home.
Just got back from Kohls with grandson. He needed new shoes for this school year. We had to get them in the mens shoe department, because the boys only go up to a 7 and he needed an 8. Of course they cost more but we sure got a good deal. They are regular $70 on sale for $39 and I had a coupon so, with the tax they were $29.95. On the way home he kept saying, I really appreciate what you do for me.
Went to Costco, I got my coupons for freebies in the mail from the Living Social Costco deal. Got my free pie (darn that thing is HUGE), rotisserie chicken and big 30 count toilet paper. They had gas for $3.09 a gallon, that's a really good price around here, I haven't seen gas that price in a long while! They also have an awesome deal on LED light bulbs, subsidized by our power company, they average about $2 per bulb, I buy some every time we go in.

A pumpkin pie? I got my first of the season the other day.
Nope, the coupon was for apple!
It was actually pretty darned good for a store bought pie. The crust was tasty although not really flaky, more of a shortbread type texture.
That's a giant pumpkin pie for $5.99!

'Bout halfway through my Kaboom Friday chores. Normally I would have been long done, except on the first Kaboom Friday of each month I include some extra tasks.
All the ceiling fans get a good dusting and the globes and bulbs get washed; the bed in our room is taken down to the mattress and the mattress pad is washed, as are the pillow covers; all the towels in the guest bathroom are washed even though they aren't usually used. I just wash those because they probably accumulate some amount of dust and washing them periodically keeps them soft and fluffy. All the drains in the house get a good dose of drain opener/cleaner and all door and window frames are damp wiped.
There are a few kitcheny things I do, too, like wipe down the top of the refrigerator, clean the stove hood, and give the cabinet doors and drawers a good once over.
Doing all these things go a long way to eliminating a huge deep clean several times a year.
I'll be tired when the day is over and ready for some, um, adult beverage.
Amazing!
Katie,
Have you ever tried using a fabric topper to trap the dust and grime on the top of the refrigerator? My sister made me a couple and every so often I pull them off the fridge and toss them into the wash. They are just fabric squares the same size as the top of the fridge with a serged edge.
