Tell it Tuesday

Hi and welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Enjoy and thanks for visiting!

It’s the late edition! I’m posting while my husband is watching the All Star game – go AL!!Too bad the White Sox only have one player playing in it.

So you know how I posted that the enzyme solution did the trick? Yeah… I was wrong. One pair of jeans lost the fish stench in that washing, one pair in the following and since then I have washed the remaining 3 pair twice with 2 additional rinse and spins (once with a cup of vinegar and once with a cup of lemon juice). I have no clue what I should do next… they still stink… just now more like lemon scented fish! Maybe if tomorrow’s a nice day I’ll have them spend a day in the sun.

Noah has his 6th tooth – we noticed that it popped through yesterday while he was swinging at the park. We took a two hour walk… I thought I was going to die. I had a side cramp from the get go and by the end my right hip was killing me (I have hip dysplasia).

I may or may not have woken Noah up the other day when I tried to kill a spider with a book. To my defense it was big and black and was running through the loft on my way to bed. I did better last night though when I killed yet another spider in the loft (this time on the wall) – Noah didn’t even hear a crunch. I may have left that dead spider laying out though as a warning to all others… yes I am that pathetic.

My brother will be in town soon! He moved to Florida shortly after Noah was born, and has only been back a few times since then so it’ll be nice to see him. He’ll be shocked when he sees how big Noah has gotten – the last time they were together was right before Christmas.

My heart is breaking for someone very close to me. I found out today that the news she had been dreading since last week became a reality.

Lastly – I’m getting really sick of reading about BlogHer ‘09 all over Twitter. Yes, I may be a tiny bit jealous that it is practically right next door and I can’t go… but come on, is it really that special? I can’t wait until next weekend is over and BlogHer is over and everyone is back at home… but wait then everyone will be Twittering about how great it was… argh.

Have you tried either Dawn dish soap, or a cleaner called OdoBan? We’ve had luck with both of those when we couldn’t get a smell out.

Go Noah! My daughter just popped her top 2 through, and those were a fit! I’m not looking forward to more!

((Hugs)) for your friend. I hope it is something that can be taken care of.

I like the post BlogHer posts since they include pictures and stories – but really, these “pre” ones do get old. Feel like writing a post to all saying, no one cares if you aren’t skinny and stylish. They met you online for god’s sake! The amount of silly worrying reminds me of high school. But then everyone comes back happy and no more “I have nothing to wear” garbage.
