Five Favorites

1. Qwirkle.

We received this game as a wedding gift, and we really enjoy playing it. It's a great combination of strategy and luck. (and last night I won!)


2. Wrinkle Releaser.

It's good stuff. And I use it way more than I'm willing to admit. It's shameful.
Even more shameful?  The iron that we got as a wedding gift has yet to emerge from it's packaging.


3. allrecipes.com




Remember those recipe websites that you visited before pinterest came on the scene? I must admit, I have not embarked into the world of pinterest, yet. I am resisting so as not to get sucked in. Anyhow, my favorite recipe website is the one above.

What's so great about it, you ask? Well, you can search by ingredients that you want in a recipe or eliminate recipes by ingredients that you don't want in a recipe. The selection is impressive, and there are always many comments posted below the recipes. That way you hear from people who have already made the recipe and you know if it's a dud or what needs to be added to make it great. Oh and they have pictures of the finished product. I like that.


4. Comp Days

Today is one of those days. I worked a lot of overtime during the winter. The state is stingy and doesn't want to pay overtime. So in exchange, we get "comp" time.  I've accumulated an embarrassing amount of comp time so today is a comp day.

 
5. This thing.

I don't know what it's called, but it has made traveling with Bo a possibility. I used it today when Bo and I visited my parents. Bo gets so stinkin excited when I bring this thing outside.

 

I bought it out of a magazine when I was in high school. I had Bo in 4-H, and he was tearing up my car. Not literally, but his hair and his mess would be all over the seat. This thing keeps that from happening. It worked a bit better in my old vehicle because the back seats had head rests, but it still does the job.
