Friday Miscellany

Not much happening today. There are a couple of storms brewing out in the Pacific that will bring some rain, and I have had a slight headache off and on today. I guess it's something to do with the air pressure, although I don't understand it.

I set up the ironing board and got out the iron today to press some pants that have terminal wrinkles. I have used this iron no more than a dozen times since I bought it several years ago, but it has never worked right. To make matters worse, I can't find a sturdy ironing board that doesn't wobble and make the iron fall on the floor, so I think the iron is totally worthless. I tried to use the steam function and it just dripped big blobs of water all over the clothes, and the iron didn't got hot enough to dry them.

Not knowing what kinds of flying insects I might find in Nov/Dec in the SW desert, I ordered my favorite Skin So Soft with Bug Guard from Avon, and it was delivered today. Actually, I ordered 4 bottles - 1 for me and the rest for my daughter and/or d-i-l's if they want them. It's handy to have on camping trips, or for sitting outdoors in the evening.

So you ladies who have ever ordered Avon products know what happens - you get the product along with about 100 booklets of specials and the next couple of campaigns, and quite a few small samples. It is fun to look at all the pretty stuff and ponder where in the world I would wear it. I rarely wear jewelry any more, never wear make-up or perfume, and only once in a while wear lipstick. But I'll find something I can't live without, be assured.

Thank-god-it's friday and my weight lifting will take a 2-day break. I've just completed the 5th week of faithfully lifting the weights 3x a week, and I'm looking better, I think, at least more muscular. If I hold my arms a certain way the wrinkles are just about gone, which is good. I should probably add a few more exercises but my muscles vehemently shout "NO" to that idea.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
