Make It Happen (Happy) Monday

Another Monday has arrived and its time to put the list of things to do up!

Thanks again to Ammie for keeping me accountable (somewhat more so than before anyways!) by offering a link up to Make It Happen Monday ... guess this is what happens when you are Domestically Obsessed!

So, I need to keep my list short and sweet this week ... yeah right!

1. Meet kids at Macy's after work and get winter coats ... chilly here and reallllllly cold in the Midwest!
2. Remind boys at work that I'll be late on Thursday.
3. Set up bill pay for bills that came in (they just don't stop!)
4. Make deposits and balance accounts.
5. Get 12 year old's gift (or at least an IDEA!!)
6. Get drainer towels (rolling over from last week!)
7. Clean out fridges
8. Empty cooler from party (still outside, still has tons of ice and the thought of touching the stuff in there gave me shivers)
9. Laundry, iron & put away
10. Get out luggage and give to kids. Pack up the stuff they are taking!
11. Get kitty sitter lined up.
12. Set up menu plan and link up
13. Get work out plan linked up (slacking off on posting it ... sorry!)
14. Weigh self with Wii and either cheer or jeer
15. Pull recipes to take on trip
16. Remind Princess to get books for upcoming classes lined up and budget
17. Start working on 2011 savings goal
18. Same with budget plan
19. January menu plan? A whole month? New goal?

Ahhh...I think thats it ... of course there is always MORE to do (does it never end?!) but at least I have these to start with ... So how about it, are YOU going to Get Your Home On? Link on up with Ammie!

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!

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

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?
