Oh such a lovely find! And zero to do with Tutus - FYI.

HELLO!! :)

So this evening was a very eventful one for me. Not in the business aspect, or really the fun aspect, but eventful in the sense that I have now traveled to nearly every pharmacy in the Denver Metro area searching for some muscle relaxant that I was prescribed for by my doctor that simply does not exist. This has been an on-going search for me, actually since September 28th and still, no such luck. Anyway, tonight's pharmacy adventure was far more exciting! My search ended at King Soopers (yep, simply .5 miles from my home--but wow, did I get to see some Colorado scenery on my drug hunt!) where I love to search through the giant "DISCOUNT BOOK DEALS!" bin. This bin is approximately my height and always over flowing with tons of random books for under $5. I should note also that my "favorite" finds are always those that are on the bottom of the 5'4" bin, so I have been inside the box to retrieve my goods in the past. The bin is located about 20 feet from the pharmacy, so you better believe that when I crawl inside this thing, there are people and probably multiple cameras witnessing my adventure. But tonight my friends; I found the ultimate find. And I didn't even have to get inside the box.

Tonight; I found...brace yourselves because this is exciting...MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN HOME NO-NONSENSE ADVICE THAT WILL INSPIRE YOU TO CLEAN LIKE THE DICKENS book! And you guessed it; only $5 for this gem, of which I paid for in quarters that I planned to take to Coinstar,..but that's a story for another day.

Now of course I purchased this awesome bound bunch of goodness, sort of hoping that Mrs. Meyer's published her personal phone number where I could reach her 24/7, hidden inside so that she could "teach" me her tricks by simply cleaning my house herself. You know--the whole teach one, watch one, do one? Is that the order? Who cares. Anyway, no such luck so far on finding the Mrs. Meyer's hot line number, but hey, I still have a few pages left to read.

So I must share some of the funniest blurbs I've come across as of yet--and let me back up a second; for anyone who doesn't know me, this is SO not a book for me, as one of the first rules written by Mrs. Meyer's is that every time you get out of your shower, you are to do a little cleanup of the shower curtain by applying a baking soda based paste and then top it off with a spritz of lemon juice--this prevents mold--duh. I don't even know that I've ever owned baking soda for the record, and that's why I also don't bake. (My neighbor takes care of making the cookies for me; she does a great job, so why give her any competition?)

Anyway, moving on to one particular paragraph that make my tummy hurt from laughing--It's titled, "As for the Smelly Stuff" (I have a feeling that Mrs. Meyer's didn't have a 2 year old son with an issue keeping what belongs in the diaper, in the diaper. Because when I read the title of this paragraph, I did not expect to read what you are about to read...) "Giving That Grimy Garbage Can a Good Clean. LOL. So by a show of hands, who has scrubbed their INDOOR garbage cans with an old toothbrush--which you keep at the top of your medicine cabinet for the monthly can cleanly duties as well as grout scrubbing needs for your floor tile? No hands are being raised here!!! Anyway, I'm kind of preoccupied by laughter right now, but if you have a King Soopers near you and there is a discount book bin inside, I highly suggest you find out some tips to keeping your home shiny and bright 365 days a year. And that's all I've got for today folks! May your week bring you cleanliness and if not, my sister-in-law swears by her cleaning crew, so I'd be happy to grab the info for you and pass it along :)

Peace Out. Kristen
