Not as a means to get high or anything...
A few days ago I was looking at the new Consumer Reports and they rated cleaning supplies on how well they get rid of and prevent scum, mildew, and whether it leaves streaks. Suprisingly good old Comet made the top of the list and what I really wanted was something to remove (and prevent) scum in my tub. So I went and bought some, along with some scrubbing pads and rubber gloves, and scrubbed my tub. It was a rousing success - I have to say it did a great job.
This weekend was nice and relaxing. We went over to a pig roast at one of Scott co-workers house, literally buried a pig and cooked it in the sand. It was delicious!
We also went next door and introduced ourselves to our new neighbor, who seems very nice! It seemed very 1950s to go over and introduce ourselves, but she mentioned no one had introduced themselves yet and it made us feel a little bad that none of our other neighbors had been so nice.
Today I did a little cooking (pot roast for dinner) and lots of aformentioned cleaning - in addition to the master tub I cleaned the master bathroom sinks and toilet, and lifted up the range on the stove to clean underneath - which was scary as it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Now I just need to get all my cleaning supplies organized...

Posted by: Lo at August 11, 2008 09:14 AMWOW - I'm impressed! Cleaning ALWAYS makes me feel better - something about KNOWING that behind that dang stove it's all CLEAN! :) I fixed the bottom drawer of my side table - and vacuumed for the FIRST time in a LONG time behind the two side tables. :) And changed out the toilet seat - well I mean I put a NEW toilet seat on ... and cleaned the two floors of the bathrooms upstairs - it was GREAT FUN!!! ;) We're freecycling some stuff - well that Twin mattress is leaving today. Check out freecycle if you want some planters or another blue chair. :) But not the one you're promised - we'd never do that to you! ;)
Love, Mom
Oh and KUDOS for going next door and saying 'HI' - very nice. Some people bring baked goods - like bread or cookies - now THAT'S 50's!
