Mrs. Egg Barometer

Coffee of the Day: Ice cold Dr. Pepper and leftover Panda Express chinese food. Today's Mental Jukebox Selection: George Strait, "A fire I can't put out". I think because there was a gas well fire on the news this morning. My New Favorite Thing: Seventh Generation dishwasher detergent. Because i'm a tree hugger that way. Fun Weekend Happenings: went tire shopping, Target, Home Depot AND Lowe's. Contemplating: making the girls some new nightgowns. Because I refuse to pay $15 for polyester itchy Disney princess nightgowns. And because Gymboree nightgowns are my favorite, but not on sale enough right now. So I will be crafty and thrify and make some. Right after I buy a "Sewing for Dummies" book. Procrastinating: mopping the floor. Why do I have to mop every. single. day? Project of the Day: finding a way to organize all these hair bows and ribbons so they are more accessible and, well, organized. Any ideas? For Dinner Tonight: Beer can chicken. Kevin insisted on going $2.50 over our grocery budget this week to buy a beer can chicken stand. Has anyone ever cooked one? Are we bonafied rednecks now?

    Cam cooks the "drunk chickens" on occasion. They are actually quite tasty.

    Seems like I remember my little girl having a quilted face with long braids for her ribbons and clips. That can be lesson two.

    no. never cooked it. heard of beer can chicken tho.
    I didn't know you had to buy a special stand. Geesh!!!


    how does 7th generation work? I'm stuck on those little cascade 2 in 1 action pacs.

    Our dishwasher sits for several days (just me and the hubby) ... and those things clean the best.

    I have to second what MiMi said. I thought of the little braid girl too! I know I had one of those!

    Pamela--I used the cascade pacs, too and I think 7th Generation works alot better. Of course, I run a load a day, so gunk doesn't have a chance to get stuck on the dishes.

    For the hair bows I take unfinished wood plaques (at Michaels), paint and monogram them, then staple gun ribbons of different widths to the back-wider ribbon for hairbows, smaller ribbon for clips, etc.

    Beer can chicken is great! You can use a coke can if you prefer. The stand definitely helps.

    (I linked here from Jennifer's site. If only I hadn't been coaching a tournament I would have been at her wedding too! Though I guess I would have only met your husband)
