Yay, Trudy! Your new place sounds great.
I'm waiting to hear back from someone on craigslist about a free portable dishwasher. I should be packing.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Argh. I washed my mattress pad. The dryer melted the backing. Now it's all crinkly and parts are stuck together. I guess this gives me an excuse to buy a new one?

You know when you begin to emerge from a long illness and get your first clear look at the state of your home? Yeah. I'm tidying and decluttering in fits and starts since too much activity leads to coughing fits. Add normal chaos to the fact that ND switched the front part of the house around completely at the height of my illness (putting his office in what was the extra bedroom, etc.), and I'll admit to being a bit daunted at the scope of what needs to be done.

keep popping off the mattress while I'm sleeping
Get some wide elastic banding, fold the ends over and sew to keep end from unraveling, place safety pins at each end, pin over corners and create an artificial "pocket." That's what my mom used to do.

I have marked the chicken recipes and look forward to using them.
However, currently we're in the throes leaving tomorrow for VEGAS, BABY!
Four nights at a 4-star hotel. Magic show on Tuesday, everything else wide open--god, this is going to be fun.

For those of you who clean with vinegar:
May I assume white vinegar?
What proportions?

Yes, white vinegar, the kind that you can buy in the gallon containers. I generally dillute by half, and sometimes add a bit of either dish soap or essential oil, depending on what I'm doing. A good source for this stuff is [link] .
