Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!

Now who doesnt love a good episode of Pinky and the Brain? Ive been listening to them all day and the just crack me up! Instead of taking over the world today I decided to play.Ü

First I made laundry detergent. Yup you heard me right. In my quest to be Martha Stewart I have decided to give this a try. According the blog I found I will only use 1 to 2 TBL a load. So the batch I made will last over 150 loads.With what I paid for the supplies it comes out to about 9 cents a load.

Here is the blog if you are interested.

Total time to make was less then a 1/2 an hour thanks to my grater on the kitchen aid. I gave up using the hand grater after about 1 minute. But I did have to mix all the dry ingredients and I was very picky at making sure that I got it mixed well.

I should of turned this into a science experiment for little A, but I didnt have breathing masks. With using Borax I didnt want her to help without a mask. Its a pretty fine powder. While it didnt really cloud up I just wasnt sure. Next time I will make sure she wears a mask.

After all that I decided it was time to put my big girl panties on a give Gracie a whirl.I have been so scared of turning her on for the first time after the big move. Guess what though! She was Purrrrrrrrfect.Ü


I will leave you with another of my favorite P&B quote!

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Are you pondering cheese sticks?

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail!

I bet yall thought I had forgotten to do a giveaway for my second blogaversary! I almost did I will be honest. Thankfully I remembered before the end of Feb!.....I also have some help Ü. A week or so back I got an email from Jamie who is part of the CSN promotion team asking if I would like to give away a gift to one lucky reader!!! WELL YA! I jumped on it. I had so much fun picking out a gift to give. They have some wonderful products. It took me almost a whole week to comb through their stores to find just the right gift! They have 200+ stores! I am thinking this may pose a threat to our bank account in the future, atleast once we get this house done! So grab a barstool and browse through their stores when you get a chance! So if you would like to win a set of these beautiful Certified International Bubble Amber All Purpose (Set of 4) glasses PLUS a goodie bag from me just keep reading Ü. To enter please leave me a comment on what kind of party would you use these for? I see these...
