Mr. D's

I work for Mr. D's Painting, Inc. and we just started a new corporation Mr. D's Construction Services of San Diego, Inc.  There is so much paperwork and filing involved that I have been super busy the last couple weeks.  A lot of it one time filings and projects, but it has taken a ton of time.  I've been putting in some extra hours which is nice for the ol' paycheck.  Plus I like to be busy.  Here's pic Chris took of his view at work the other morning.  WOW!

I always post pics of Ally playing volleyball -- I finally got one of me.  It's just a serve, but still it "serves" as proof that I do play.  HA!

I've been making lots of my own products lately to save money and cut down on the wasteful and possibly harmful stuff in a lot of products.  Now, I'm the last person in the world who would ever think I would become what I always labeled as a "tree hugger."  But the more I read about the harmful effects of stuff, the more I want to change.  Next on my list is most likely artificial sweetener and food dye.  Blech.  Here is some laundry detergent I made with just soap, washing soda, and borax.  It only takes ONE TABLESPOON to wash a load of laundry and so far it seems to do the job.  Comes out to like 4 cents a load!  Today I am going to try to make some liquid dish soap.  Cleaning products are such a rip off when it comes to cost!  I get a lot of ideas off Pintrest.  As I run out of something, I try to find a DIY recipe.
