See what I received this week?  It’s my new Swiffer Sweeper, 2 in 1 Starter Kit.  I have been sick this week, and so I was thrilled to be able to sweep and mop my kitchen floor in five minutes!  It looks so shiny and smells so good.

I have an old Swiffer, but I must admit this  new one works much better.   After I put the new Swiffer together (which is a “snap”…all you have to do is literally snap the pieces together which takes half a minute), then our cute little dog checked out what I was getting ready to do.  I put her outside, then I proceeded to use the dry sweeping cloth which surprised me by picking up all sorts of dust, crumbs, pet hair, etc., and it held on to them.  Then I used the wet mopping cloth and was able to reach deep into corners under the overhang on our cabinets.

What I like about the new Swiffer is that it is stronger.  That’s one thing I didn’t like about the old one.  I felt like the old one wasn’t strong enough to scrub on tough spots.   But the new Swiffer is definitely stronger and easier to use!

We attended an outside wedding located in the garden area of a bed and breakfast.  It was beautiful, like in a storybook.  However, it started to mist at the beginning of the wedding.  Mist was tolerable, and everyone got out their umbrellas.  But just when it was time for the bride to walk down the aisle, it started to rain hard.  Everyone had to head inside at the bed and breakfast, where the reception was to be held, until the rain subsided.  Soon, it did, and the gathering of people went back to their seats outside, armed with towels to dry them off first.  The wedding began again with the bride coming down the aisle.

If you are planning an outside wedding, be sure to have a back-up plan so the guests will have a place to wait until it stops raining, or if it doesn’t stop raining, a place to perform the wedding.

Trillora.com has a great selection of all sizes and kinds of computer desks, they have great prices, and they offer rapid delivery.  Plus they have a free damage guarantee on all of their products.  As I was looking through their site, I saw several desks I liked.  I would like to have room for a large desk, but since I don’t, I saw a really cute small desk that would be easy to fit in a small area.

Here’s a different version of salsa:

Mix all of the above ingredients together and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 1/2 hours.  Serve with tortilla chips.

I am sick again, second time since New Year’s, so I have been sick or “under the weather” most of January.  This time I have chest congestion, and yesterday my fever went up to 102 degrees.  I’m feeling much better today.   Needless to say, I haven’t felt like eating a whole lot.  I have lost the weight I gained during the holidays, so I don’t need a diet pill to help me lose weight.  Hope all of y’all are staying well and not getting sick!

Let’s talk about things that might not be quite the usual fare.

#1. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever made with bread?

Well, actually I didn’t make it, maybe just helped a little bit.  Our daughter made a loaf of bread in the shape of Santa’s head.  It had a glaze on top which was “painted” with food colorings to look like Santa.  It was cute!
#2. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever done with mac and cheese or pasta?

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve seen recipes for using mac and cheese for pizza crust.  Wonder what that would be like.
#3. Is there a food you eat other then it is intended?

Hmmm….sometimes I will use a cake mix to make cookies.
#4. What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever seen?

I misread the question at first and thought it said that I’ve eaten.  I was going to say “mussels.”  That I’ve seen?  Probably some kind of seafood.

If you do have one of those cars and you are looking for Volvo Parts or Saab Parts, then Sweedish Parts Network would be a great place to check for a needed part. And the sooner, the better. It’s so inconvenient not having one’s car in working order.  I like to have my vehicle working great all the time!
