Looking forward to get things done

My husband has been changing and improving some things around the house. Actually, I am really looking forward to seeing the house done. It has been a while since he started renovating our home. I could hardly wait to get it done. I understand that it took us a while to get things done because we don’t have any help. It is just two of us.

Sometimes, I cannot avoid to complain how messy our house is. It is just messy. I see wood, nails, and screws, alloy steel bar, plastics, etc. in the house. The house right now shows my husband’s personality. It is not so girly. Well, I cannot really complain. Like I said, we don’t have any help. It is very expensive to hire somebody. So, I am just going to deal with it.

Anyhow, my husband needs more alloy steel tubes for the plumbing. He is fixing our plumbing. He wants to replace the plastic tubes with alloy steel. Alloy steel is more durable. It is used in automobile and airplane parts. It is strong and elastic. Like I said, I cannot wait to get things done then I'd feel more comfortable and at ease.

Smoothies

Do you like smoothies? If you'd ask me, I love it! It's Spring time and we are getting closer to Summer time. It is the season for more refreshments and barbecue. We make smoothies often during summer time because it is hot and humid. What we do is we buy frozen fruits at Sam's Club. We buy the mixed frozen fruits that contain peach, strawberry, pineapple and grapes. You can also find it at Costco or in any grocery stores. Then we put the frozen fruits in a blender and add apple juice as substitute for sugar. It is very tasty and I would say it is better than the smoothies at Jamba juice. So, guys, you don't have to go to Jamba juice or Coldstone for smoothies or any refreshments. You can just make it at home.

Cleaning dirty CDs and DVDs

I see a lot of dirty DVDs after video rental stores. Well, here is the procedure that I learned from searching from the net. Cleaning CDs and DVDs should be done with a cleaning kit but can also be done with a normal clean cotton cloth or shirt. When doing this with a clean cotton cloth or shirt, wipe against the tracks, starting from the middle of the CD or DVD and wiping towards the outer side as shown in the below picture. Never wipe with the tracks--- by doing it may put more scratches on the disc. It is recommended to use water when cleaning a CD and if the substance on a CD cannot be removed using water, use pure alcohol to clean.
