From my 'Relaxing' series...
Be sure to watch in HD ;)
Enjoy.
CHEEKY SQUIRREL DEVOURS PEANUT BUTTER
So while having lunch with a co-worker the other day, we came across 'another' cheeky squirrel standing so close to us and just staring at us. He wouldn't move for anything. Then we realized it was the peanut butter packets we were eating out of. He smelled the peanut butter, lol. I guess it was the wrong thing to eat around a bunch of squirrels!You know what's cooler than the pictures of him eating it? It's me capturing it on video. I was only able to capture it for a few seconds - but that was good enough.
He licked that thing clean before throwing it away, lol. Slob!

The majority of the squirrels around here at work seem to be rather 'friendly' and of course, cheeky. I hope to capture more of their antics when time and weather permits. For now, I was just happy to capture this moment with one of them.

Everytime I go out shopping and I see them, I just have to buy one. They always seem to cheer me up.
Sometimes I wish they could last forever like this, but unfortunately they don't.
I also seen a nice 'monster' truck in the same parking lot and took some pics of that, lol. Anyways, I hope these colours will brighthen your day too. Fall is in the air!

KEEPING MY DARK LAMINATE FLOORS SMUDGE FREE - THE EASY WAY!

The thing is, laminate floors are great but the darker ones show everything and I mean everything! Everyone who owns them, knows this. Everyone also warned me about this before I had them installed but I didn't care. I love dark, warm colours inside so it was never a question of getting dark or light laminate flooring but rather how to keep them from showing all the footprints, smudges, etc.
First of all, let me say from experience, you'll never get a dark laminate floor completely smudge free or even shining like new - at least not for any length of time, but that's ok. It doesn't matter anyways. After awhile, you get used to the 'not-so-perfect-dark-laminate' and just enjoy it for how it is.
Yes, I've tried wearing socks but once your feet gets sweaty, it shows on the laminate also. I also don't like using too much liquid or products such as Murphy's Oil, Orange-Glo, etc. because I don't want to create a build up over time. The smart thing to do is to clean with the least amount of chemicals possible - try using just vinegar and water. (See the video I made at the end). The next thing to do and I think the most important thing in order to keep your floors looking their best after cleaning it is to wear something that leaves a minimum amount of trackable evidence.
Welcome to my discovery of the 'Slipper Genie'!...
GRRR! NO MORE WASTED BREAD!

Don't you just hate it when you go to take a couple slices of bread and you've discovered there's mold growing on them?? Yick! Grrr!I am so tired of wasting bread that I had to take drastic measures.
I already took drastic measures a few years back when I literally had to throw out whole bags of bread that were molded from not being touched. I would bring them home fresh, then everyone would touch them and say "ooh, fresh bread, nice". A week later, they would touch them again - "ooh, they are getting stale mom"... grrr. "That's it!". I had decided to freeze the entire bread immediately after purchase, this way the freshness was locked in, and only took it out if it was needed the next day. This worked great for a short while until they wanted fresh bread NOW.... not later or tomorrow. I would tell them to "throw it in the toaster".... "no thanks, we don't want toasted bread, we want fresh bread...". So much for that plan.

They would eat 4 or 6 slices out of the bag then that was it. No one touched it again until they needed it - then it was stale. So then I would end up tossing out almost an entire loaf of bread!
Grrr!
The way the economy's been going lately with prices soaring on everything - especially bread, I had to do something. I felt like we were slowly reverting back to the 1918s during the U-Boat era when bread was so scarce due to those merchant ships that carried the sacred stuff getting sunk left right and centre, that they had to start rationing it. Maybe I should stick the poster below somewhere up in the kitchen as a hint...
