Too much water.

Heaven! Had all 3 of my kids with their families……. which means all 3 of my Grandbabies!
But now? Now the kitchen sink is backed up…….. and the house STINKS!!!! COME ON!!!!!

I searched on the net to find a quick fix that didn’t mean going to the store right now!!!
Ohhh very excited I had everything!

Pour 1 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the drain and immediately cover the drain.

Leave alone for 30 minutes…… I have time to go watch Suburgatory!!

Then run HOT water through the sink and whoooooooooooolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHOLDIT!!??!! Why is it backing up sooooooo FAST!??! Why do I have MORE water in the sink than before the ‘fix’.

When the water drains down some (Whanna know where that water went!?!?!?! I’ll give you one guess….into the washing machine!!!! Ohhhh yea…. it’s that kind of night!!) I could repeat the baking soda/vinegar process again, but I used it all. Sooooo I think I’ll just LET DH fix the mess. Yea… that seems like a great idea. Ohhhh and FYI…. front load washers? when water backs up in them? YOU CAN’T unlock the washer!!! Of course what would be in a washer today?! Baby Alice’s pajama’s. Ummm hummmm
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I’m going to bed.
This in my best Scarlett O’Hara “I’ll think about it tomorrow”

15 minutes later……………..

Ahhhhhh who are we kidding?! I can’t go to bed with the sink gross and backed up. So I remember someone once told me they put dishwasher tablet in the sink and mix it up with the garbage disposal. So I figured ‘why not!’ and HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! 10 minutes later!!! I win!! HA HA HA HA!!! Connie ONE – kitchen sink Z-E-R-O!! (not to mention my sink is soooo clean and shiny now!!

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

• The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
• The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.
