Something Smells
Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Me either! Except maybe the..
But, since we all know who and what I am, I might not be the best judge of something being wrong. Just saying might. After all, I don’t usually notice something stinks until the stench is so overwhelming that it grabs me by the throat, and literally tries to choke the life outta me!
Sweet Friend is forever and a day coming in and saying, “Something stinks in here.” (So wonderful to have such friends. {eye roll} At least I know he’ll never lie to me!) So, I tell him , “Sniff away! When you find it, get rid of it!” And women are supposed to have a keener sense of smell!! I guess mine is deadened. Maybe it just gave up and died??
So anyway, back to the pic.
DD1’s now in the kitchen.
This is our refridge in the 8 house. And remember the electric was turned off after 2 weeks?? Yeah…
XH had removed all the food, before that happened, and brought it to the new apartment.
Except……. a skillet full of food. That was left in there.
I DO NOT even want to go back over there!! I know I have to. And I have to re-open the fridge, and take out that skillet. Maybe I can just bag it up, and throw it away?? Maybe DD1 won’t notice that her biggest frying pan is missing…
Will she??
If you never see another post by me again, you’ll know I died of food poisoning (the air).
An 8 house post. Brought to you by the letter “S”, and botulism.

Donatables Done
Not the Rubbermaid tote of donatables, but it IS a Rubbermaid tote of our stuff! And yes, you have seen this pic before. I have to start recycling the pix, just like the posts!
Rubbermaid tote.
Last Monday, about 3 weeks ago now, I worked on 4 kitchen cabinets. Going thru and de-cluttering, and evaluating expiration dates on the food. Do you know how hard that stuff is to read??? My eyes almost gave out, before the rest of me did!
It wore me out!!
But at the end of the afternoon, I had a half of a huge Rubbermaid tote full to donate! And some food to give away.
I felt so wonderful, to get that much done in a day!! Yes, the feeling of accomplishment, and pride was there, underneath the exhaustion!

Shame Shunned
Yep, you thought I was fresh outta shameful secrets, huh?
Nope!!
This decision has been a long- long- super long time in coming!!
And no, I did not scrabble thru the garbage to retrieve them! Aren’t we proud of me??
Yes, I am- quite!!
Thank you, really!! And I don’t even miss them! What rolls of film????? Shame shunned!! Another decades long weight off my shoulders!
(Haha! I outsmarted you, WP lack of memory storage!!)

Wild n Wooly
For some reason now, I want to sing that song, “Wooly Bully”!
(I think those are the correct words. Won’t swear on it.)
This was my post on Aug. 26, 2014.

Wasn’t it cute how I made such a big deal outta mopping??!!
Ok, yeah, I know, I still do!

PP’s Playroom
Well, it’s time to face the lion’s den: PP’s playroom. I’m scared, Mommy!! Hold me!
The outlook, going in. Or should that be the inlook????
Nope, no sound, I forgot! Sorry! I will get better at this, I promise!!
You’re right, if you think not all of that is PP’s!! A lot of the closet turned out to be mine, and DD1’s.
DD1’s memory box, and some clothes.
Rubbermaid tote.
My purple suitcase. But not empty, as DD thought!! Surprise!! Smart fabric stash!
Plus 2 books.
My Grandma book, to fill with info about me, for PP, and CC to read later! And my small wedding album, from marrying Bobby. My lost love, who’s in heaven.
And now, more room, for more fabric!! Don’t even think about it!!
Fold ’em up!
I knew I had more of those fabric squares!! Found ’em finally!! I couldn’t proceed with the twin’s quilts till I did!!
The big blue bag, was mixed clothes, girls’ and DD’s.
So since they’re never used, the toddler beds can go, as well as the pool. They are both so tall, both couldn’t sit in there at one time!! And I’m not gonna try to make them take turns for that!!
Not sure what we’re gonna do with her buttons, and marbles yet. I know we’re keeping ALL her rocks!! She’s been collecting those for 3 years now!
Probably won’t remember to take a video of her clean room, or a pic either. Because by that time, we’ll be gone! 😉

‘Viro Video Version
I already posted pix of XH cleaning the ceiling fan.
This is the full story, in living color.
Enjoy the Video ‘viro version!
I’m so thrilled that I finally learned how to youtube!! Thanks, DD1!! And Stella has been a tremendous help to me in the tech dept, as well. Also, thanks to SF! Without him, I wouldn’t even have a computer to work on! (Which is now fixed, I just need to get a new connector thingy, so I can get back on the net. ARGH!!)

Outside Ousters
Just in case you thought I made up another word:
Ousters – definition of Ousters by The Free Dictionary
a. The act of ejecting, forcing out, or supplanting. b. The state of being ejected, forced out, or supplanted. 2. One that ejects, forces out, or supplants another.
Annnnnd, just when you thought you’d never have to hear the word “Irma” again, here she is back for a fourth appearance. (Dare we hope fourth, and final appearance??)
Oops!! I forgot to show you the other day, the first, and most important inside prep I made for Irma!!
Had to save the ice cream from melting!!
That was job one!! (Apologies to Ford!)
Onto more serious things.
These were the outside ousters for Irma. Ya know, the stuff that might fly around and hit somebody in the head, and knock ’em out!!
Backyard stuff brought inside, away from Irma’s ire!
Front yard stuff brought into the porch, out of harm’s way.
Man, that trash bin was stinky!!
Our neighbor had a terrific idea!
- Can you see the sandbags on his doorstep??
His apt. is ground level, whereas ours is 3 steps up!!
XH went around and closed all the jalousie windows, on the porch, the laundry room, and the bathroom. A lot of the cranks were busted, so it had to be done from the outside. So it was a man job!
So, that’s about all I have to say about Irma. Hopefully since we’ve seen the backside of her, and know she can’t ever bother us again, I won’t need to mention her a fifth time, either!!
Oh, wait!! Here’s one effect from her, that I’m not sure what to do about.
What do I do with this mess??? Water bob is a big, blobbing bother now!
Do I try to dry it out somehow??? I hung it over the shower curtain for 3 days, not effective. And if I try to fold it up, and keep it, won’t it be mildewed next time I need it????
Okay, I think I have well and truly exhausted the topic of that wild, windy woman, you know who!
An Irma post brought to you by the letter “O” and ice cream.
