HELLO!! :)
So
this evening was a very eventful one for me. Not in the business aspect, or
really the fun aspect, but eventful in the sense that I have now traveled to
nearly every pharmacy in the Denver Metro area searching for some muscle
relaxant that I was prescribed for by my doctor that simply does not exist. This
has been an on-going search for me, actually since September 28th and still, no
such luck. Anyway, tonight's pharmacy adventure was far more exciting! My search
ended at King Soopers (yep, simply .5 miles from my home--but wow, did I get to
see some Colorado scenery on my drug hunt!) where I love to search through the
giant "DISCOUNT BOOK DEALS!" bin. This bin is approximately my height and always
over flowing with tons of random books for under $5. I should note also that my
"favorite" finds are always those that are on the bottom of the 5'4" bin, so I
have been inside the box to retrieve my goods in the past. The bin is located
about 20 feet from the pharmacy, so you better believe that when I crawl inside
this thing, there are people and probably multiple cameras witnessing my
adventure. But tonight my friends; I found the ultimate find. And I didn't even
have to get inside the box.
Tonight;
I found...brace yourselves because this is exciting...MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN HOME
NO-NONSENSE ADVICE THAT WILL INSPIRE YOU TO CLEAN LIKE THE DICKENS book! And you
guessed it; only $5 for this gem, of which I paid for in quarters that I planned
to take to Coinstar,..but that's a story for another
day.
Now
of course I purchased this awesome bound bunch of goodness, sort of hoping that
Mrs. Meyer's published her personal phone number where I could reach her 24/7,
hidden inside so that she could "teach" me her tricks by simply cleaning my
house herself. You know--the whole teach one, watch one, do one? Is that the
order? Who cares. Anyway, no such luck so far on finding the Mrs. Meyer's hot
line number, but hey, I still have a few pages left to read.
So
I must share some of the funniest blurbs I've come across as of yet--and let me
back up a second; for anyone who doesn't know me, this is SO not a book for me,
as one of the first rules written by Mrs. Meyer's is that every time you get out
of your shower, you are to do a little cleanup of the shower curtain by applying
a baking soda based paste and then top it off with a spritz of lemon juice--this
prevents mold--duh. I don't even know that I've ever owned baking soda for the
record, and that's why I also don't bake. (My neighbor takes care of making the
cookies for me; she does a great job, so why give her any
competition?)
Anyway,
moving on to one particular paragraph that make my tummy hurt from
laughing--It's titled, "As for the Smelly Stuff" (I have a feeling that Mrs.
Meyer's didn't have a 2 year old son with an issue keeping what belongs in the
diaper, in the diaper. Because when I read the title of this paragraph, I did
not expect to read what you are about to read...) "Giving That Grimy Garbage Can
a Good Clean. LOL. So by a show of hands, who has scrubbed their INDOOR garbage
cans with an old toothbrush--which you keep at the top of your medicine cabinet
for the monthly can cleanly duties as well as grout scrubbing needs for your
floor tile? No hands are being raised here!!! Anyway, I'm kind of preoccupied by
laughter right now, but if you have a King Soopers near you and there is a
discount book bin inside, I highly suggest you find out some tips to keeping
your home shiny and bright 365 days a year. And that's all I've got for today
folks! May your week bring you cleanliness and if not, my sister-in-law swears
by her cleaning crew, so I'd be happy to grab the info for you and pass it along
:)
Peace
Out. Kristen
