A slayer of mystery meat that is!
I finally got my refrigerator cleaned out last night--AFTER my Hubby went off to bed. He's such a softie. I couldn't have him underfoot during all of this because I had plans on mercy killing several bowls of leftovers that had been hanging around much too long as well as slaying the mystery meat that's been growling at me.
I also cleaned our bath tub last night. (I'm exhausted today!)
AFTER finishing up cleaning out the refrigerator.
I set out to get to work on the tub last night and couldn't find any of my usual tub cleaner in the bathroom cabinet so I took a chance on something else: Clorox Clinging Bleach Gel. (I was too tired to chase around the house looking for it.)
It made short work of our dirty bath tub in spite of our problem hard water.
Something else I got done was scrubbing all the dirty storage containers that I evicted from our refrigerator!
Yay ME!

We got a little bitty shower today. It was just enough to knock the dust out of the air but the ground is still bone dry.
I watered the strip flowerbed on the backside of our house late this evening. Looks like I'm going to have to give the hydrangea's in that strip bed some acid fertilizer so their flowers will turn blue.

I just can't seem to get caught up with all the things I should already have done by now.
Finally decided to just spend some time finishing up a bunch of jewelry I'd started--who knows how long ago--and let the rest go for a while.
Remember back a month and half ago when I told you I'd bought eight packages of gold spacer beads from Joann's via special order? Seemed like a huge amount at the time. During the past week, I blitzed through five or six whole packages of them. I now have nine gold spacer beads left to finish up one necklace. I badly need to order at least eight more packages of those gold spacers just to complete stuff I've already planned.
And to think I thought it would take me half of forever to work my way through that eight packages of gold spacers. Ha! Some of the necklaces I've made this week have needed 1.5 packages of those spacers.
I've got a large number of necklaces that I'd like to make that I haven't even started on. Many of them because I haven't found that certain "something" I need for them.
I wish I could find some mother of pearl chunk beads at a decent price but what's offered is either way too tiny or priced way beyond what they're worth. (They were dirt cheap back in the 80's.)
DeepSeaSiren's got me seriously jonesing for some black pearls. Couldn't help myself--I had to go window-shopping! I did find some for sale. Somebody on Etsy is offering a bag of 100 UNDRILLED Tahitian pearls for $200. That may sound like a good deal but, merciful heavens, they're nasty looking! I'd say they're maybe D grade and that's being kind. Whoever is crazy enough to buy them had best be prepared to spend a lot of time drilling if they want to string them into necklaces. (I suppose it's something you could do while watching TV but that's a serious amount of hand work.)

Went to three of the four local Goodwill stores today and here's what I found:
I found a mid-Century Ekco Eterna 8 Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl for two dollars. (Ebay sellers have them for ten and up.)
And then I found a Cinnabar bead necklace for two dollars. It's not the REAL real thing, which would be too dangerous to wear, but it is the same look and quality of beads as are in my necklace from the 1980's. The clasp looks the same too. Ebay has necklaces for $40-$150 that have clasps that look like the ones on my two necklaces.
At the second Goodwill store, I found four rings today.
The first one has multicolored gemstones in it. (I plan on giving it to my SIL.)
The second one has a heart-shape that's pave set with red stones.
The third one has a crown with an oval smokey quartz stone set in it.
The fourth one LOOKS like it might be garnet set in sterling silver. (I'm keeping it!)
I'm planning on selling the second and third rings since they have the look of real gold. (I'm curious about how much I might manage to get for them.)
At the third Goodwill store, I found two bracelets with hematite beads and one bracelet with millefiori beads. (Got all of these to finish up some necklaces I've been working on.)

Have been trying to pry the digital camera away from my Hubby for several weeks now. He clings to that camera the way most me cling to the TV remote.

Hubby and I took my new truck to the dealer after finding out that, yes, I had gotten the extended warranty on it. Hopefully they'll get it fixed and soon.
While I was there, I asked the mechanic to show me the computer port thingie on my truck. (This port is where you find out what the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT means.) Why oh why, is the damned thing so hard to get to? Why in Sam Hill couldn't they have designed the truck so that it was in an easier to get to place?
We then went by the store and picked up some groceries before heading home. After eating some lunch, I had a nice long afternoon nap.
---------
The best part of the whole day was this evening. I went outside and finished mowing the front yard and then tried out our new weed eater. It's absolutely THE BEST weed whacker I've ever used!
I AM IN LOVE WITH OUR NEW MURRAY WEED WHACKER AND I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW IT!
It's super easy to crank up but the best thing of all is that the whacker cord is super quick and easy to change out. Seriously! It takes me less than a minute to yank the old cord out and then stick in a new one! No more whacking stupid weed eaters on the ground with my fingers crossed hoping that the damned cord will go ahead and feed out and not force me to take it apart for the umpteenth time to get some cord out so that I can continue to cut more weeds for the next five minutes before I have to stop and take it apart again to get some more cord out.
After I finished mowing, I took my Murray weed whacker all around the shed, up against the concrete blocks that form the edging around the triangular telephone pole flowerbed, and then up to the front of the yard where I went around the bases of the two telephone poles and their supports and the mailbox row.

This appeared on the internet news Monday night. This is one of the best pictures of a twister that I've ever seen. Love the swirl of clouds at the top.
While I'm very glad the Canadian man was careful to make sure the twister was headed away from his home and family, I have to wonder if it ever occurred to him how quickly the wind can change direction or if he'd ever considered the fact that twisters often pick stuff up and then throw it a good distance....
I can only hope that Esquire magazine and the five male models got paid BIG MONEY for this photo shoot:

REAL guys??? Come on, since when do real guys wear stuff like this mess?
I can only hope that the guy wearing the orange tootie-fruitie thing got hazard pay....

These are just some random notes that I made of things that interest me.
I've known for some time that cotton actually comes in other colors besides pure white. What I didn't know is that there's someone who's actually taking the time to do selective breeding on those wild strains of colored cotton. Her name is Sally Fox.

Colors grown include red, green and several shades of brown.

Here's someone who's making and selling cotton clothing here in the US:

Here's something else I didn't know about---Baen Ebooks Monthly Bundles.
http://www.baen.com/catalog/category/vi
I'm considering going with this since getting new books I'm actually interested in reading is becoming harder and harder to do now that BOOKS A MILLION is working hard on changing its name to TOYS A MILLION or BOOKS A DOZEN.
What I'm wondering is if any of you have ever gotten one of these monthly bundles? Did you like it?

According to an article I found, catnip is almost ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes that DEET.

Another article I found says that certain perfumes (Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil and Victoria's Secret Bombshell perfume) repel mosquitoes.
