Sat. Jan 2
(do I have that date right finally?)
Cold here. In the 20s and I hate it big time. Windy....that wind just cuts ya thu.
Well changing how I do laundry. My homemade laundry soap I think just doesn't work that great. I did it for well over a few years and with hanging out I still get that crappy smell that I don't like.
So still being frugal, but changing up laundry a bit.
I been holding coupons for Gain, since I love the smell of Gain and have always used it. My supply of homemade finally ran out, so I took used my coupons wtih a good sale and bought 6 giant boxes of Gain. I saved alot. So stocked up there.
I am on Gain now vs. homemade stuff. Just me, want to do it.
Shirts. All shirts in the dryer all the time. Tony has complained for many years the smell of the shirts just aren't clean smelling. I think it was the combo of homemade and line drying. I have to say they don't smell that great..lol.....I tried it all, vinegar in the rinse, 1/2 line dry, 1/2 dryer ---etc. I experimented but........so all shirts in the dryer now cause if they pull over my head I want that great Gain smell and dryer softness...LOL
All pants can be line dry. No problem. The jeans don't have that smell that the shirts got????? why I have no idea..LOL
Towels....with be 1/2 line dry and 1/2 dryer to get some of that stiff off them.
All undies and small stuff line dry. No problem on that one.
So changing up the shirts to full dryer now and using Gain.
If feel like I am backtracking but in the end I want clean smelling clothes and I can't seem to get that the other way. And life is too short for me to worry too much about it.....haha
So for me the big laundry drama is over. I got my good old Gain back and loving it.....lol

went to the post office and forgot they close early. UGH
I need priority ship boxes for my soap orders which are thru the roof.
Got to buckle down and make tons of batches for inventory again. Got a little lazy thru the holidays, but those are over.

Went to the dollar store and got B-day cards for Tony. Got him a multi-screw driver tool thing from Nicole and a set of thermals. That is enough..LOL-------got some candles for his cake on Monday and some blow horns to annoy him. Nicole can sure do that one..lol

Tony bought a $240 pair of shoes. They have springs in the bottom and one giant spring as the heel. Insane and ugly but another guy at work said since he bought them his heel is better. Poor guys walking on concrete at work 12 hrs per day running up and down a line machine. ugh....so I balked at the price and then realized that if they improve his heel hurting (and it is bad) then that is a cheap price to pay for his foot health. The other guy said they worked miracles...hmm...we shall see. But they are butt ugly shoes.
_______________________
Got to wash tons of eggs....so off I go. I got lazy and didn't do them for a few days and they are backlogged now. Ugh....instead of 2 buckets I got 7 giant filled buckets to handle. ugh....you think I would learn to stay on top of them...lol

Slowly put up all Xmas decorations in Nicole's tv room this morning.

Of course we all know we get 100 times more done when a kid ain't around....HAHA
