apple cider vinegar

i knew it was good for something.

any of you with soap scum out there. grab a bottle of distilled white vinegar or better yet...apple cider vinegar (if that'a all you can find) and go to work on your soap scummed dishes or sinks or bathtubs. i (secretly) got the tip from martha...when i was in desperation to clean some "soapified" dishes that aren't mine.

my head was rushing with thoughts, so i got out baking soda. knowing that it does a lot for cleaning purposes...it just made the dishes more cloudy. so then i was really in a pickle.

PICKLE! i looked online at what would remove scum. i had to find an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. i looked frantically in the pantry to find apple cider vinegar. it did the trick. in one minute my dilemma was solved.

greatness indeed.

thanks- target. your raw product worked.

now off to solve more problems...i'll run.

polos and ab balls

so i am convinced.

polos are for boys. no matter what the fit "women" or "men"- polos look so silly on me. grr. the good thing: i have a uniform and get to spend the "clothes money" on cute things. the bad thing: i look like a boy on most days.

ab balls: the greatest invention since...office chairs.

i have a giant ab ball that i sit on when i am in the office. classic bouncing all day long.

greatness indeed. just a note to vent the things in my life that are keeping me going.

that's ridiculous

I thank you for blessing me and providing ideas, thoughts, knowledge, and skills to help those around me each and every day. I enjoy your loving kindness each and every day.
Amen.

let the love of the Lord shower down on you today. whether or not the beginning of the day wa "good"- make the rest of your day the best.
