Graduation Card

May 8th, 2013 at 02:04 pm

I bought a graduation card this morning at the downtown station. Generally I avoid buying cards at Hudson News, because they only have Papyrus cards which are so expensive, but then I remembered I actually wanted to get a special card for my nephew's graduation. This one has a photograph of penguins on the front, with one of them stretched up tall, and the sentiment is "Stand tall! You did awesome!" He'll like it. The card was $4. Now I have to put a check in it!

Yesterday I brought an orange to work, among other things, for my lunch. At noon I couldn't find it in the fridge. I looked all through my bag, and it wasn't there either. I decided I must have left it at home. At home it wasn't in the kitchen and wasn't in the fridge. Then I decided it must have somehow rolled out of my bag somewhere along the way. Either that, or I was seriously losing my mind. Lo and behold, this morning it is sitting there in the break room fridge. Someone must have moved it. I'm glad I'll have it today; it's my last piece of fruit!

I made a really good casserole last night out of leftovers. I had some leftover spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce, which I mixed together -- layered it with cooked rotini and a mixture of cream cheese and cottage cheese. Yummy! I brought some for lunch today, and I still have two more servings after that.

I've decided that a hand vac may be the solution for my linty/hairy couch. Does anyone have a favorite? I will need something that has really strong suction. Doesn't have to be cordless, as there are plenty of outlets around. I used to have a Dirt Devil that I liked pretty well.

    I just saw on Pinterest that you can use a shower squeegee to scrape/pull of pet fur off carpet, I wonder if that would work for your couch. I think I even used a micro fiber cloth on our couch at times and it worked pretty well. Sorry no hand vacuum recommendations.

    I have a "pet magnet" which is like a shower squeegee. It works well on my other upholstered furniture but not on the couch. I've also used the special cloths, rubber gloves, damp hands, etc. This is the most confounding piece of furniture I have ever owned!

    I think in addition to it being a cheap acrylic that holds onto hair, the real problem is the fiber that is coming out of the cushions. So I'm hoping a strong vacuum force will at least help until I can get it reupholstered.

    Hi CB,
    I wonder if you could open the cushion--(does it have a zipper?)--and put some cloth, a tea towel or something, between the fibers and the cushion top--to keep the fibers in and stop them from protruding?

    Your casserole sounded good.

    Nope, no zipper. I am hoping that gradually the fibers will stop coming out, like the fluff in a new rug eventually runs out.
