Spring Bug Has Arrived

Something is seriously wrong. I am in the mood for spring cleaning. Now if the mood only holds until I get a couple other BIG tasks tackled and marked off my "to-do" list. I received this link for spring cleaning room-by-room checklists from one of my scrapbook email groups of all places. But I love how they are laid out and look do-able! You'll find the checklists down the page on the right side bar marked with an Acrobat Reader icon.

Oh, and by the way, nothing makes cleaning easier than having all my favorite products (pictured to the right :) on hand and in a nice portable tote to carry from one room to another. I've been a fairly faithful Melaleuca user since Britnee was young -so about 10 years. I love getting things sparkling and clean without having to worry about all the chemicals hovering in the air. I have also recently discovered Method and Ecover brands. I haven't totally checked into all the specifics but so far I like what I see and what's more, they clean very well which is a problem with some natural brands I have used.

What are your favorite cleaning products and why?

Pizza King to Totino's in 60 seconds

Preparing for a house full of company this weekend, we decided to clean tonight and get groceries in the morning. After laboring for hours (on the computer :P Tony said that Pizza King sounded good. Now I am not a die-hard pizza fan - once a week is good for me - and I’d already had pizza once today. But knowing that there was little in the house to cook and knowing that I didn’t WANT to cook, I decided that Pizza King sounded good, too. Kerrigan brought me the number on Tony’s phone. When I dialed it I thought something seemed odd, but they answered "Pizza King" so I placed the order. Twenty-five mouth watering minutes later (at 9 pm) Tony drove three blocks to pick it up.

A few minutes after he left, I got a call on the home phone and didn’t get to it in time. When I checked the caller I.D. it read Pizza King but showed a different number than I had dialed before. I thought that was weird. I called the number back and told the lady that answered that I’d just missed a phone call from this number. Her response? “Your husband is on his way home. He tried to call. What Pizza King did you order from?” I paused momentarily then realized…I’d dialed the number for Michigantown which was 10 or so miles up the road. Ugh!

Tony wasn’t exactly, shall we say, pleased when he got home. I tried to defend myself and place the blame on him by saying that I dialed the number that was highlighted on the screen. We both decided that Kerrigan must have bumped a button in the transfer of the phone. I was glad we thought to grab some cheapy pizzas the other night to have in the freezer in case we needed them in a pinch. They sure don’t taste like Pizza King though :(
