Mar. 27th, 2007 09:00 pmOver the past two days I have make a dozen pints of strawberry freezer jam. The no-cook pectin seems to work fine. This makes me happy. I got all of the mason jars I needed at Goodwill for half off the sticker price. This also makes me happy.
While I was at Goodwill, I also found two hardcover Robert Jordan books (eight and ten in the WoT series) in like new condition for three dollars each. This makes me happy as well.
I got a lot done today. Unfortunately, none of it had to do with laundry. *sighs*
My dog is shedding so much, that if I did not know better, I would think she was having puppies from the amount of fur she leaves behind. If I had the money, I would take her to the groomer and have her washed and her undercoat combed out, or whatever it is they do.
I have ants in my house. This is something that generally happens every year, when the weather turns warmer. I have never been able to tell how they are getting into the house. I went outside and spread granules around the house's foundation, and tomorrow I will mop and vacuum and scrub, to make sure there is no food for them, so they will go away. Today, I found the empty wrapper for an Otter Pop in the hallway outside of Jared's room that was covered with ants. It would be nice if the kids wouldn't feed the damned things.
Other than that, things are good in my little word. The carnival seems to have turned a tidy profit, and if my number crunching was correct (I could easily have screwed it up), we made twice what we have in previous years.
I will be able to order the new dies for the die cutting machine in the teachers' work room. The ones they have now were bought in 1992, and desperately need to be updated.
I have a wedding and reception and family dinners and whatnot this weekend, but other than that, I am hoping to get some RP done, and catch up on my sleep.
I hope everyone else is doing well.
