Seeing Green

I wish my title could refer to dollar signs but unfortunately it has to do with what I saw when I opened up my dryer yesterday afternoon.  I forgot to check all my pockets and washed a bright green crayon with some of mine and Belly Boo's things.  

The crayon.  And a very nicely spotted pack-n-play sheet. 

My white cardigan.

Belly Boo's purple cords. 

After a half hour of freaking out and figuring out what to do, I decided to try the following:  I placed my regular detergent and a cup of baking soda in the washing machine with our crayon speckled clothing and did a soak cycle with warm water.  It sat for a half an hour, and then I washed the clothing on warm with an extra rinse.  

Guess what?  Everything is clean, minus my white cardigan (of course) which has a tiny little green speck on the sleeve.  

I'm happy, and no longer seeing green on everything.  And if you're in need of a stain remover guide for Crayola products on pretty every much surface imaginable, go here, it's a life saver!

That Time I Tweeted Someone Famous

So my favorite band, Death Cab for Cutie is doing a small club tour and I desperately wanted tickets....but they sold out way too fast and are on other sites for wayyyy too much money.  So in my deep disappointment, I sent one of the band members a tweet and (eep!) got one back.

This almost makes up for not getting a ticket.

Music Monday, Vol 4

Only because the hubs played this song approximately 20 times yesterday afternoon, and because it's pretty catchy.

Shenanigans

Off to the Capital for a weekend of fun with my favorite group of boys (and best friend, too!).

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Currently Addicted to...

My current addictions:

Goya Pico de Gallo Salsa

I'm not much of a salsa person, but this stuff is amazing.  Seriously.  

Go get yourself some.  Right now.

Angry Birds

I know, a little behind hitching a ride on the Angry Birds train but hey, I'm here.  I have to play with the sound on because I love hearing all the noises from the birds and the pigs.  

If you're as much of an Angry Birds fan and have an Android phone go to Amazon.com right now...they have Angry Birds: Rio for free!!  

Homemade Oreo Cookies

I don't think this needs a further explanation.
