Clorox Cleanup

Clorox clean makes even the most disgusting caked on crud come off in the swipe of a sponge.

When we bought our home the kitchen was coated in thirty years of deep frying residue. All of my cabinet handles were sticky with grease and the wall behind the stove was well caked. I tried many products and LOTS of scrubbing.

Then my mom gave me a bottle of Clorox clean up. It took a squirt and a swipe. Now I use it everywhere. I bought a refill bottle for about $4 at the grocery store and have refilled the bottle three times.

Toga

I have again been neglecting my little blog here. We are having a Halloween party Saturday and I am making Togas for Dave and myself. I cannot sew. I am making my poor sewing skills work. With all the draping and pleating it covers up my mistakes and I have been double stitching the seams because I'm scared they will fall apart. These are my sketches, I'll post pictures when they are done.
Last year we had a terrible time finding Dave a costume. Did I mention he is 6'5. I was a nurse and the doctor costume fit him like a not so sexy belly shirt... so we returned it, bought a gunshot wound and he was my patient.

Our first halloween together he went as Chris Farley in that SNL chippendale skit which required his black pants, a t-shirt and bow tie. It was a last minute costume for me and believe it or not I just happened to have this in my closet...

I guess I need to get better at this seing thing before next year.

Oh, if you dont know me you cant come to my party, but I strongly recommend you look into the Henry David Ball in Philly, PA. It's $25 in costume and $60 without and it seems to be the inspiration for the gay pride costume ball in "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry." This kid was a blast, but Dave had to flag him a taxi, because taxi drivers are douches and wouldn't stop for him :(

Got 2b Glued Freezing Spray

Uses: extreme styling, all day hold, hurricane proof hair.

I bought this stuff buy one get one free at Kmart for $3.99. The hold is INTENSE, like rock solid, but it doesn't make your hair look plastic. As a blond I find hairspray that holds darkens my color (temporarily), but this product does not.

I'm a hair down kind of gal, but i prefer to drive to work with my windows down. Blow dry, style and spray all over. My hair does not move as I cruise down Delilah Rd at sixty mph. When I get to work I brush it out so I don't have a hair helmet. Even after brushing my hair stays in place all day and can still move. Warning: after brushing out you are no longer hurricane proof.

Healthrite

I have had a cold for the last few days that was only getting worse, so yesterday I tried to find a doctor that could see me. I haven't seen a general family doctor since my pediatrician and had a lot of trouble finding someone who would take a new patient same day.

Atlanticare has a hot line (888-569-1000) that helps you find local doctors so I gave them a call. They set me up with a new patient appointment for January and suggested that I go to Shop Rite in Somers Point to the Healthrite Nurse Practitioner. I will tell you I was very skeptical about seeing someone in a grocery store, but I couldnt find anybody that could see me before work.

Note: Below is what was prescribed for me. If you are ill please see a professional, I reccommend Healthrite if your in a bind.

Nurse Dawn Gadon, APN, diagnosed me with Bronchitis. She prescribed guifenesin (Mucinex), dextromethorphan (shoprite generic cough syrup), codeine-promethazine (cough syrup w/ codeine), prednisone, and azithromycin (a z pack). The first two are OTC and the last three were prescription. She printed a visit summary that included instructions for the medications, info on bronchitis, and a list of reactions that would require emergency care.

Nurse Gadon was very sympathetic and kind. Turns out her location in shop rite was great too. Her office is at the end of the pharmacy counter and across from the first aid isle. At the conclusion of my visit she gave me a $5 Shop Rite gift card and then walked me down the isle to show me the two generic OTC medications she prescribed.

This was a bit of an emergency given my time frame and needs. The service provided was great, I was able to sleep through the night last night, and it was just very convenient overall.

Bowling

King Pin Lanes in EHT, NJ is always a fun night out. I am the worst bowler, EVER. If I break thirty its a good game. You can have as few as two people and have a great time. The food at the snack bar is great deep fried bad for you goodness and the sports bar is a great place to hang before or after a game for drinks.

Features: snack bar, sports lounge, private parties, pro shop, bumper bowling, billiards, bowling

Hibiscus update

I think it got worse after I planted... Maybe I need to find a good fertilizer to blog about.

Nivea Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs

This product is a shave minimizing gradual tanner. I love the two in one, having previously used two different products to accomplish the same results.

Caution, I purchased "dark" looking for color to develop faster on my fair skin. The shave minimizing aspect makes me want to use it everyday, but because i went with the darker shade my fair skin starts to look orangey after too many applications.

That was fine on the single function product that i used once or twice a week before. Gradual tanners are great because they dont last long if you mess up and its not a lot of color all at once. Stay true to your natural coloring on this one if you do daily use.

To be honest $7 is a lot for the size of the tube but the product combo is worth it.
