Not much new here. Been brewing tea for iced tea (we drink 3 gallons a day) I have it down to bringing 3 tea bags (regular, decaf, green tea) with a shake of baking soda which opens the leaves and gives you a stronger flavor to a boil in about 3 cups of water let cool then add to water for a gallon. I add 1/3 cup of sugar for a gallon.

Hand rolling cigs for DH works out to about $10 a carton with the coupons from Bugler.

Hanging up bath towels to use at the pool instead of getting a fresh towel.

Cold water wash with 1/2 detergent and vinegar in the rinse. Using 1/2 detergent in the dishwasher.

I finally washed the accumulated empty pop & water bottles and refilled them with water which will help me drink more water.

It is a nice 66 degrees with a slight drizzle this morning so I'm taking my shovel out and slice off the weeds growing in the sidewalks. When it drys out I'll pour vinegar in the cracks to discourage them from coming back.

I plan on inventorying the deep freezer and refrigerator freezer so I know what all is in there. Deep freezer needs defrosted so I'll do that while I'm in it have been waiting for a little cooler weather.

Going to the library later to check out more books and videos and let the kids do another activity in the summer reading program.

We don't need much at the grocery and there aren't many great sales so this week should be another low grocery bill week. YEAH

Still no news about DH and getting a job, GRRR
