It's Monday

Which means, time to Make It Happen Monday. It's also the first day of the new month and NOVEMBER!

So are you getting Your Home On? If so, make sure you hop on over and post your to do list!

1. Set up leftovers from party for lunches and snacks (sliders, oriental salad, pasta salad, etc.)
2. Pay bills.
3. Balance checkbook.
4. Set up food/gas/misc. budget. Prep for the No Spend month....
5. Make menu for week.
6. Pull recipes for menu plan.
7. Post menu plan over at Menu Plan Monday.
8. Clean out the pantry and organize (yet again rolled over).
9. Clean and organize the freezers (all 3 again rolled over!).
10. Start up the exercise routine.
11. VOTE on Tuesday morning (leave house no later than 7:30am).
12. Investigate the mammogram stuff.
13. Get referrals from others for gynecologist.
14. Move money to savings.
15. Send back Netflix movies.
16. Request book from library.
17. Set date for girls get together.
18. Laundry (make that hamper empty for at least an HOUR!)
19. Iron
20. Put away all clean clothes
21. Get all 3 bathroom toilets cleaned, along with countertops, mirrors and floors.
22. Wash bathroom rugs.
23. Look in to hubby's birthday present (which really, will be a present for all of us but mostly for him!)
24. Get Hubbys' bday card NOW instead of the week of Thanksgiving (its the 21st, bday).

Yeah, its a big list but it's not a big deal :) A few items carried over which isn't surprising!  I've got to get better about getting my list prioritized.

I am aiming to start a No Spend November, which really, I should probably call it Severely Restricted Spending which would be more descriptive and true. Ahhh...I will be posting that soon ...

    The cleaning is not such an issue but the pantry organizing is ... seems that there is SO much in there which I figured, if I do a Severely Restricted Spending, I would eventually clear out the pantry somewhat, right! And the freezer? Thanks for swinging by again!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
