Summer finally started for me...

officially as of last Tuesday, but since I went to AETC on Wednesday and Thursday and my brain needed Friday to process all the great info I received (and weekends are a given) I consider today my first day of summer. So how did I spend it? I cleaned my bathroom! I wanted to use this homemade recipe to clean my shower...



but it just didn't happen. I should have taken the time to try because the commercial brand cleaner I used didn't give me satisfaction. And now I have to do it all over again tomorrow.

The more important item in this blog is the learning that has taken place. Today I learned how to add the Pinterest button and a link to one of my boards at the bottom of my blog. I ran out of patience when learning how to add one of my pins (of the pic above) as a widget, but I don't think that's what I wanted anyway. I just wanted to add the photo in this post. And voila! I did!

And the learning is the more important item because I told my two girls we would spend this week doing/learning something new each day. My young one decided to learn how to use sketchup.com to create original works of art that we plan to turn into jewelry later this week--maybe Thursday's new thing. My older one used an electric sander for the very first time ever to prepare her desk chair for a new paint design. And even before I delved into html code tutorials I designed 3 t-shirts at cafepress.com! These websites are two I learned about from Kevin Honeycutt, who is an AWESOME speaker and teacher!


SO...I not only accomplished one new thing today, I accomplished five!! The t-shirts, the Pinterest button and board, the javascript code I had to figure out how to add so the Pinterest things would show up, adding links and photos to my post, AND I made something new for supper tonight from recipematcher.com! My son said the chicken turned out very tender, so check it out if you'd like:

(Well, I guess my good luck has run out for today. I'll have to update this post with a pic of the dish I made when the website is available. I can't get it to open tonight. Maybe they're closed....)
