Fun With the Girls

This weekend we are having a “Girl’s Night Out” where a bunch of us tell the boys to go find something else to do and we are stepping out! April called and asked me to come along and I didn’t hesitate to say OK!

The boys need to have some guy time and we need to have some girl time once in a while to make sure our relationships stay healthy and don’t go stale. And for the girls who have kids and never get out for any fun any more, this is the perfect reason to leave the kids with their Daddies or get a babysitter and do something nice for THEMSELVES for a change.

Bring on the Weekend!

This week has been crazy. I am so tired and really need some sleep. I can’t wait for a Friday night chill out in my jammies and some shows on TV, and then a nice lazy weekend.

Time to Shop for a New Bathing Suit

Well, I have to get a new bathing suit this year. The one I used last year is so stretched out and saggy that it is embarrassing. I tried it on to make sure and had to put it directly into the trash can.

Not sure what store I want to go to for this dreaded shopping adventure. I think I will start with Kohl’s and then head over to Macy’s. If neither of them have what I like, I might just take a shopping trip to Atlanta for the real and bigger stores.

Hummingbirds Are Back!

There is a hummingbird feeder hanging on the tree in my front yard, along with two other feeders with sunflower seeds and a songbird mix. I love to watch the birds come to the feeders, and have been watching for a hummingbird. So I was thrilled to see one come the feeder today! They are amazing creatures and so quick – if you blink you will miss them!

Laundry Detergent

One thing that is endless around my house is laundry. I have tried all kinds of schedules and methods to make the chore less demanding.

One thing that is working for me now is trying to only do laundry twice each week. I try to wash clothes on Wednesday night after work and then do another set of laundry on Saturday mornings. Wednesday is work clothes and whites, then Saturday is casual clothes and towels and sheets.

The laundry detergent I have been using is getting really expensive, but it is still close in price to all the other brands. I think there are only a couple of companies that make laundry detergent anymore. The people who make Tide probably have the biggest share of that market. I have used Tide but then the clothes made me itchy, so I figure that I might be allergic to something in the Tide formula.

I don’t really like the smell of Gain detergent. It is pretty strong and just not a fragrance that appeals to me. So I have been avoiding Tide and Gain and trying to use either All or Cheer. The All brand seems to do a good job cleaning the clothes and the fragrance is pretty mild. I just have to watch for it to go on sale or find coupons to get a deal on it and then I stock up.
