What's today? Oh yeah, Friday.

Yesterday, I managed to do a load of laundry and flung the worst of the science projects from the fridge. (I still would not go so far as to say the fridge is CLEAN, but at least there's nothing actively funky in there at the moment.)

I also took my mini TV and hooked it up to the cable connection in my bedroom, because I was tired of having the cable box/DVR just sitting there auto-recording stuff I don't give a damn about. (Changed the programming, too.) Sadly, the auto-record kicks the old stuff out after a certain length of time, so I STILL haven't seen/won't get to see the finale of Torchwood. It does, however, have the finale of SPN, so all's not lost....

Another loathesome thing about BSNB: they apparently don't add incoming deposits until the new business day officially starts. My old bank did it at midnight, and I've paid plenty of bills at 1 AM. Can't do that with these turkeys....

Sunny D? Eww, that is some EVIL stuff. Happily, Walmart has their generic version of Crystal Light which is drinkable and comes in a variety of flavors. There's also iced tea, the house wine of the South....

I should say it tastes better than Sunny D, because it does! :) It's just a can of orange juice concentrate mixed up with a packet of strawberry Kool-Aid and somewhat less sugar than usual.

We hit the mother lode at Dollar Tree and got Wyler's lite lemonade mix for $1 a can, which is cheaper even than Wal-Mart. Alas, Dollar Tree is not very reliable about stocking particular brands, so we may never see that again. I'm the only iced tea drinker in the family. "House wine of the South" is such a cute way to put it.

Would that it were original---I don't recall where I pilfered the phrase from.

I'll have to cruise Big Lots and some of the dollar stores...maybe I can find a deal on tomato sauce there.

Big Lots used to have tomato sauce for a quarter a can. Good stuff, too, like Hunt's and Contadina. For the past couple of years, since our town's Big Lots was closed, I've stocked up on the every other month trip to Sav-a-Lot. Their canned tomato products are really good.
