I'm so glad it's Friday! This has been a really busy week, but it has flown by. Mark's parents and Katie will be arriving in Tucson around 3 this afternoon, and then I get to take the weekend off and enjoy some family time. It will be a much-needed break for me (and Mark, too).
When I was getting the apartment cleaned up yesterday, I tried a cleaning tip I'd read online a while ago. Our shower curtain liner had become pretty soap-scummy, and since Katie will be staying with us, I thought it might be time to do something about it. So, I took it down and tossed it in the washer on the delicate cycle, warm water, with some regular detergent and a splash of bleach. I added a splash of vinegar with the rinse cycle, and voila! I had a sparkling clean liner! I tried it because I figured there was nothing to lose (I could buy a new one if it got ruined), but I was very impressed. Mark even noticed the difference--I may never buy a new liner again!
In other news, Mark had a Wind Ensemble concert last night which I really enjoyed. He seemed to think it went well, too, which was good. This morning I completed our FAFSAs in a mad dash, having just realized earlier this week that our school's priority deadline is March 1. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to file our taxes yet (still waiting on some paperwork from Schwab), so I had to make a lot of guesses on the FAFSA. They allow you to come back and make adjustments, so I'm expecting to need to do that after we get our taxes done. What a chore!
I'm not sure what we'll do this weekend with our visitors, but I know we'll have fun! I hope to post some pictures documenting our adventures early next week. Till then...
