Cookies and moldy shirts
May. 22nd, 2009 11:18 amAll hail Laura, Queen of Domesticity!
The Zweeble and I just made sugar sprinkle cookies. He saw them on the cover of the recipe book and had to have them. Then he refused to go to the store to get sprinkles, so I made them. I would tell you how, but it would take away the awe I want you all to feel at my domestic prowess.
Sprinkle cookies have never been my favorites. Sweeeeeeet and kinda sticky-tasting. But they came out. They don't look like the cover, but they came out.
In other Mom-and-domestic-diva news, I am trying to save the Zweeb's Phineas and Ferb shirt. It's way too big, but he loves Phineas and Ferb (it's a cartoon, and you should watch it because it's actually hilarious), so I got it for him. First I washed it and the picture bled and left orange spots on the sleeve and collar. (I was everything on cold, fergodssake.) So I had left it out so I could try and get the stain out, and someone (my mom?) put it in the washer. I thought it was just in there, not that it had actually been washed ... but it had. So now it's moldy.
The thing is, I haven't seen the shirt again, so I can't just buy a new one ... so now it's covered in color-safe bleach and Shout, being washed on hot, and I have the sinking feeling none of it is going to do any good. But we try.
