Do you do every thing he says?I quit worrying about make-up when Shrek told me to stop worrying about make-up.

Where we live, each house has to hire it's own trash hauler. With just two of us we don't have much either, so we're able to get ours picked up every other week. If they let us do once a month we STILL wouldn't be able to fill that danged garbage cart. We also have a same-sized recycling cart. It ALWAYS has more in it that the garbage one. As a cool bonus, our service participates in a program called "Recycle Rewards". We get points for our recyclables based on frequency (every pick-up? every other?) and weight, then get points based on volume. The points can be redeemed for things, similar to a credit card points program. I just got two, one-year magazine subscriptions for points! When I redeem some for a Ruby Tuesday BOGO coupon I tell Himself we're going out to eat our garbage.We had to go with a new garbage pickup service. Our subdivision has had real issues with our current service....Anyway, the new service delivered our new garbage can today, and it still has that new garbage can smell! And it is big enough to house a family of 4, I wouldn't be surprised to find a homeless person living in it.
We recycle almost everything, so I'm trying to come up with something we can put in the new huge garbage can.

Oh My! You have my Mom's treadle machine! Her's looked just like that. I gave it away when we were cleaning out the folks' home because the drawers were a bit stuck - poor thing had been in the basement when we had a flood. Enjoy playing with it. IIRC, the front drawer was used by Mom for embroidery scissors, thimbles, and a small pin cushion.
My husband likes make-up. I don't wear a lot, just a touch. When I don't have makeup on I look totally washed out, and I look exactly like my mother, which is scary when I look in the mirror as she has been gone for 34 years. I rarely wear eye shadow for the same reason as others have mentioned. It's not for old eyes. LOL
I have to make an Aldi's run this morning. I have certain things that I buy there because they are exactly like brand, or better, but cost much less. I too use the generic Cheerios. Cheerios have been part of my diet as far back as I can remember, which is about to age 4.
We will also stop in Home Depot, which is next door to Aldi's. We are buying 2 safety bars for in the tub/shower. That makes it official...I am now officially an old lady, needing safety bars in the shower. Better be safe than sorry!
Admiring while dusting it.A 1915 or 1916 Singer sewing machine.The kind where the machine drops down tucks inside the desk.
I love the intricate carving details of the drawers. Our butcher just had it dropped off at my house.You could have knocked me over with a feather. Wasn't expecting that.It belonged to his Grandmother.She was the only one who ever owned or used it.I just called him to thank him for the gift. He instead thanked me for accepting it.He was particular with who got it.As he put it.The machine needs to be owned by a sole person, who would appreciate it. Take care of it.
Just got the bobbin plate opened. It actually has thread still in it.
Now I just need to read up on how to properly clean it up. So far she's cleaning up pretty.
Munky.
I stopped worrying about scaring the public a long time ago!..
I use only three items. Four if you count my lip balm. If I don't cover my couple of dark spots I feel old. I know I AM old, but most days I don't feel my age. I feel better about ME if I present a tidy face: concealer, a light dusting of powder, and a hint of blush. I can tell how very tired I am by how quickly the color fades from my blusher. Some days I put it on, then half an hour later you can't even tell. Then again, I don't really want to go out of the house looking like a friend of Clarabelle...I quit bothering with makeup when I noticed it made me look older....

I am watching a pvr'd American Idol from earlier, crocheting a very late Christmas present for my niece, and trying to get through on a chat for an app I purchased and can't use. How's that for multi-tasking!
CG, a girlfriend of mine used to do cleaning on time share condos.
She would soak the shower head in CLR every time for each condo. Her boss was greatly impressed with the results......
