But No Pictures...

The cookie bar concoction turned out great with the Cheez Its and Bisquick. I think I'll make that substitution a regular from now on. It did add a touch of salty, and once it cooled it came out of the pan as easily as the graham crackers.  I ate 2 bars just to make sure they were edible. I had to protect my peeps, you know. I managed to get back my appetite fairly quickly--dang it!

I cleaned the shower today. I know that's not note worthy but it is since I used a brew suggested on Pinterest. The post says to use 8 oz. of Dawn and 8 oz. of white vinegar. You bring the vinegar to a boil and then add it to the Dawn. (Let the vinegar cool a little or it melts the squirter bottle. I learned the hard way...oops!) I didn't use 8 oz. of Dawn. I used about four. I don't know why, but it seemed like a lot of detergent.  Then I shook to mix. I sprayed  the stuff on the shower walls, glass shower doors and floor. Allowed it to work for 5 or 10 minutes. Then wiped it off. I found that I prefered to rinse the cloth and go back over the surfaces again, but you wouldn't have to. It slicks up the soap scummy stuff and smells clean but isn't caustic.( I've been known to asphyxiate myself mixing bleach products before.) So my devotion to Pinterest has paid off again. It's so worth it for the hours I spend there. ;o)

The visiting teaching is done--check. The bathroom and kitchen are cleaned--check. And I bought a mondo supply of Diet Coke, cuties, and toilet paper from Sam's Club--check. My holiday preparation is so on the way to completion. Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing this time of year? Check!
