things what are happening now

[mimesere]

my kitchen smells strongly of vinegar, as I have found that vinegar cleans just about everything. And between them, a paste of baking soda and water cleans off stuff that has baked onto my cooktop and grease spatters from things like bacon (we like bacon here A LOT), but leave streaky residue (oh noes!) behind. Vinegar cleans that. Also, it cleans my drains! and my big green container full of ice tea...stuff. We make iced tea 2.5 gallons at a time and store it in a green plastic 5 gallon thing, and after a while, stuff settles to the bottom and cakes on and is kind of icky, so that needs to get cleaned.

I'm also apparently in some kind of fanatical nesting phase, 'cause it's after 2 am and I'm seriously considering cleaning the bathroom.

the boy and his friend are playing Dead Space: Extraction which is doing some very interesting thing with game storytelling, given that it is a prequel to Dead Space, and thus we all know how this story has to end.

Our other friend is sitting across the table GMing her V:tM game and I am here talking to you guys.

MOAR ABOUT NESTING: I'm also getting kind of weirdly fanatical about putting my flour/cornmeal/baking stuff into airtight containers on my counter. All I lack now is a spice rack, and the boything is determined to get that for me soon.

ALSO! I got a nylon scrubby brush thing which makes me feel much better about doing dishes, because now it's not quite as icky.

that is my exciting evening, you guys.

You are so cute and domestic! Just wait until you have kids and want to nest EVEN MOAR.

Boythings are the best spice-rack builders. *nods*

You can add a few drops of essential oil to your distilled vinegar to make a prettier smell. Lavender is particularly nice.

Yay natural cleaning agents!

You should have seen how thrilled I was to get a long handles scrubby brush thing to clean off my dishes! (I have issues with both rubber gloves and sticking my hands into dishwater constantly)
