Bed Linens

So I've been really busy lately, cleaning house and getting things ready for the auction or a yard sale.

Had a brain storm today and thought I'd be sure to pass this one along. The closet in the bathroom has been straightened and straightened and then re-straightened which has driven me nuts. So here's an idea that I hope you like. Hang your sheets and pillow cases in a bedroom closet or for that fact in the closet of the room in which they will be used. I took hangers you know the kind you get when you buy pants or shorts from say Wal-Mart. Or just buy a few slack hangers. Fold the linens to the appropriate size for the hanger and then hang in the closet. No more mess in the linen closet (ok wishful thinking) and if you put the linens in the same room as where they will be used, then there is no searching when time to change them out.

Old Pomeroy-Mason Bridge

Erected in 1928 at the cost of $1-million dollars, the old Pomeroy-Mason Bridge recently met it's demise to the "new kid on the block". The new bridge stands parallel to the old Pomeroy-Mason Bridge with an estimated cost of $65-million dollars and taking 5 years to build. Ironically the cost to demolish the old Pomeroy-Mason Bridge is $1-million dollars.

My Car & The Love Hate Relationship!

In November I borrowed money against my settlement (car wreck in 2006)and purchased a "used" car (actually a salvage car). Well immediately I loved it, a nice little gas saver, Plymouth Breeze, the interior was pretty much mint condition, however seeing as it was salvage the driver side rear panel had damage. No biggie, I could live with that.

Just one week into owning the car and the water pump went out and locked up the engine. No warning whatsoever, we were driving down the road and the car just stopped. Having been a salvage car no warranties or guarantees about anything. The man I purchased it from did give me the motor but I had to pay for the labor $500+ dollars and it took 2 months.

So I was back to loving my little car, gas mileage great 400+ miles on a $25 fill-up.

One night I was pulled over for no license plate light. Come to find out it wasn't even wired up and had no place to wire it into. John, my man, an electrician fixed that easily.

There I was back to loving my little car again. Then one day, my windows quit working and how my windows being out should affect my AC or heat is beyond me. This time the problem was big, and John wouldn't touch it. Two days and $300 later my little car was fixed, wiring had to be replace from ignition to fuse box.

So once again I was back to loving my car, nice car for running around in. Comfortable ride, nice interior, and gas saver...for a while anyway, once again the windows are out and so is the AC and heat...ugh. And it has rained for days, so I can't drive my little car much unless it's not raining until once again I get it fixed.

Birthdays!

So Easter came and went and I didn't start blogging again til now. Boy have things been busy. There have been appointments, (I started donating plasma again for $55 a week-so it's not exactly donating), my daughter and I both had dentist appointments and now I need to go see an oral surgeon.

But the birthdays have taken up the most time, I really feel sorry for my "daughter-in-law" and son. They have been together for 4 years now and although they are not married have 2 children together plus she has a son from a previous relationship. So they have 3 children 5 years old and under and the birthdays are back to back. Mina turned 2 March 22nd; Kaylynn turned 1 April 22nd; and Kenny turned 5 May 2nd.

So there have been gifts to buy and Easter was thrown into the mix as well. I started right after Christmas buying things a little at a time and I put the items into a clear plastic tote (so I can see in it and put a lid on it too.) In the end I still have things left over you know for those surprise visits with the grand kids and the budget wasn't broken.
