Meant to mention before
There were 2 minor bright notes over the weekend, and I figure you all are weird enough to get a kick out of my amusement:
1. I got my 6 year old to help me vacuum the entire living room, including the little throw rugs. First, I gave him an 18 lb bag of baking soda (yes, 18 pounds), and showed him how to scatter it over the rugs. He was ... enthusiastic. ^_^ Then, we played "Red Light / Green Light"with the vacuum and its dirt sensor. It took over an hour, but the whole damn living room is a green light. (Of course, by the end, I think it was pulling up bits of the older-than-me rug, but hey.)
2. Thursday was Cookie Day in the kitchen. Which means doing massive (even for a commercial kitchen) amounts of chocolate chip cookie dough and feeding it through one of these .(Actually, the one we have is really really old that they lucked out to find.) It makes those little slugs of ready-to-cook dough you find at the grocery store. Basically, you feed a bunch of dough into the hopper at the top, and it squeezes the dough down to the trays on the conveyor belt, cutting it off on the wire under the hopper as it goes. And all I could think when they pulled it out was "I want one!" I have no idea where I would put it, but I would be preforming cookie dough left and right with it! LOL
