Monday's Free Stuff......

Chilly morning here today. We did not turn our heat on yet so I have a nice warm fire started bright and early today. I will have a pot of apples simmering ont he stove and brownies in the oven while I work this morning. That will help warm the house too. Tonight I will put the flannel sheets on the bed and extra blankets too. My goal is always to not turn the heat on until November 1st. Anything after that is a bonus. If I have it nice and warm in here when everyone gets home, they will forget how cold they were this morning!

Thursday............

Here is the pile of packages I have to mail. They are books I swapped at Paberbackswap.com and the prizes from my Blogoversary celebration. Everything will be mailed today.

In other news.... I think I have a dead mouse in my bedroom somewhere. I have searched and searched but I can not find it but the smell is killing me. We live in the country so mice are a given. We put poison in our crawl spaces and it usually does the trick. In 8 years, I have never smelled 1 dead one. Until yesterday. I really think it is either in the wall or the ceiling. UGH! Please Mr. Mouse, can you finish decomposing before bed time tonight? I think I am going to fill the room with 10 plug ins and kill the smell with air freshener. Then I will just suffocate from too much room spray scent and not dead mouse smell. Any suggestions?

These Flaky Twists are ssooooooo good! They are not anywhere close to being on Weight Watchers but they are a wonderful Sunday morning family treat!! These were sent to me to try and review but it is something I will buy from time to time. Especially before a snow storm when we may be snowed in a for a few days and need comfort food. Here is a coupon....

Last but not least is this product....

it was sent to me to try it and review it. I have it in my power room now. I can not smell it at all. I think I will unplug it today since it is using electric but not producing any scent. I am glad I did not actually pay for this. I would not recommend it or ever buy it again for myself.
