Car Wash Tomorrow

"What happens if I spill Liquid-Plumr® products on clothes, fabrics or rugs?"

One might ask this question if said bottle of Liquid-Plumr® had turned upside down in one's car during the trip from Target to home, and upon grabbing for it something caught and yanked the cover off, spilling potent bleachy-smelling gel all over the front seat of one's car.

This is Liquid-Plumr®'s response to the above question - as posted on their website:

Liquid-Plumr® products may bleach or stain colored clothes, fabrics or rugs.


So very helpful! :) So, I diluted my entire front seat - and dabbed with towels. . yes . . bleaching the crap out of my towels! . . . and now I keep my fingers crossed until I can get to the fancy car wash after summer school tomorrow! (last day of summer school, btw!!)

Alice Mae is Two Today!

Today is Alice's birthday! She had a little lunch party with her little friends (cousin Zach and friends Ada & Mae). I brought mom's potato salad - and Ada & Mae's mom (Sarah) asked for the recipe - it was "just like her grandma's." :) Here are some fun shots from the party:

"Happy Birthday To You!"


going "nigh nigh" with her new "Melmo Beebee" (and new princess pillowcase I made) :)

Beautiful day for a birthday! :)

(PS - what were the fireworks for tonight? about 30 minutes of awesome fireworks at St. Anthony Main (I bet) just now. . . hmm?)

Here I am!

The end of July is in sight and I haven't been filling you in on my wild and crazy fun filled life! :) Ok - yes, it's been awhile (and I can't stand it when YOU don't update - so here goes) :)

July 3rd Party


I brought Alice to Amy-in-Anoka's yearly party. We didn't stay long - but enough to enjoy some yummy treats and to catch up a little with Terry and Judy!



Happy Birthday America!

I relaxed and enjoyed the day. I started off with a trip to the gym and then a massage. - Umm - hello! How have I never experienced this before! New splurge for ME - massage time! :) (Andrea was supposed to join me by getting a facial - but crazy events kept her from getting to the gym - which - probably saved her from some sort of fungal infection or something!)


I had dinner with the Jerome/Olesens - enjoying pool time and another favorite moment between my baby brother and his baby girl.



Happy Birthday Mandy!


Mandy is finally 30! I joined friends in Anoka to help celebrate. . .again - I didn't stay long. . and I guess I missed all the fun - including Brian having to give the cab driver an extra $30 to clean up the mess! :) :)

BeautiControl's Newest Consultants


Damn you Tendrils!! :) Andrea and I made the most out of our wasted Saturday we spent at our "consultant training."

Hanging out with Alice

I'm working more at Jackson this summer, and Alice is in Day Care 3 mornings a week - so I'm not hanging out with her as much as I did last summer - but trust me - I find time to steal her away!

Alice Mae as "Auntie Carrie"


Alice wanted "Lellow" or "Blew" ice cream - and we found some!


Just like Auntie Carrie!


On our way to the Princess Party at our neighborhood library.


Enjoying the twirly Princess dress.





Makes me so proud - she double dipped her fries in mayo and then ketchup!! :) :) Just like Auntie Carrie! :)

I hope to have an awesome end to July! I'll keep you posted (I promise!) :)
