Friday Favorites: Four Things I'm Lovin'!

It has been a while since I did a "Favorites" post.... on my blog.  I write them in my head all the time!  To bad my brain doesn't share a wireless connection with my computer.

Hey! - I bet we will have that ability one day.

Everyone walking around - just thinking facebook and twitter updates.

Scary thought, huh?

Anyway, here are several things that I am loving lately:

1)  Borax!

Yes, regular, old-fashioned Borax!  A while back I tackled my stinky laundry problem using a combination of borax and Sport-Wash.  Well, after a lot of experimentation, I've discovered that the real solution is two-fold.

First - allow the sweaty garment to air dry (see my #2 below)

Second - a Borax prewash.  The Borax prewash works so well that I have started using it with every load (not just my workout clothes) to keep that chronic-dank HE washer smell away.  It leaves my clothes fresh-smelling and works better than any of the MANY expensive fragrance options I had tried previously. (YES!, I'm talking to you Downy unStopables!)

2) Wall-Mount Accordion Clothes Dryer!

I needed someplace to drip-dry our sweaty running clothes.  And here in South Georgia, by "sweaty" I mean "you could wring them out and then water your plants!"  I was looking for an alternative to hanging clothes on the shower door, when I came across this gadget ($20 on Amazon).  It's not the prettiest wall decor, but it makes use of our little-used tub, and doesn't require any floor space.

3) My Hand Therapist, Sandy!

This woman drove 40 miles - on her day off - to work on my hand!  I mean, the Rehab office isn't even open on Saturday!

 Thanks to her I have gone from this fist:


to this:


I still have a long road ahead - but at least now I have hope of being able to use the last two fingers again!

4) This Song!

My husband sent me a link to this song with the instructions to "turn it up loud!"
It is a perfect song to run to!



So there you have it!  A few of my favorite things this week!
