Cure for Stinky Exercise Gear

Now that the heat and humidity of summer are upon us, I have to tell you about a wonderful product I discovered a couple of years ago. My husband and I are golfers & exercisers and we love the newer high tech fabrics that wick sweat away from the body. Only one problem. They stink! I tried everything to get rid of the smell: washing in hot water, adding bleach, you name it. Upon doing a little research, I learned that the fabrics trap bacteria (yuck) which are nearly impossible to get rid of with regular detergent. My online research revealed several testimonials about WIN detergent. I found their website & decided to give it a try. What a difference! The bottles are small, so I usually go through a couple over the course of the summer, but it's totally worth it to be able to don our workout & golf gear without worrying about a big case of the smellies!

Time to tune out the noise

I hate to admit it, but I'm about talk radio'd out right now. I love listening to political banter, but it's not really banter anymore. It's shrieking from both sides - nobody's happy about anything. I heard this quote once and I can't find anyone to attribute it to, so if you recognize it, let me know if you know who said it. Anyway, it says "people who go out of their way to get their feelings hurt, rarely waste the trip." Doesn't that describe so well the many people shouting from the rooftops these days about this (probably perceived) injustice or that slight? So, I'm taking a break. No more news. No more talk radio. For a while anyway. If something really bad happens, I'm sure I'll find out about it if I need to know. If not, then I won't be bombarded with the negativity filling the airwaves. And that will make for a happier me. Here's to that.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to meeeee. Happy Birthday to me.

Another year older - check.
Another year wiser - hopefully.
Another year happier - beyond belief!

I'm looking forward to my best year yet! Hope you are too.

My Current XM Lineup

When we bought our 2 new cars last fall, they came with a trial subscription to XM Satellite Radio. I'm not totally sold on the service, but I do like changing up my presets every now & then to get a taste of all that is available to me. I'm a closet talk radio junkie...NPR, politics, gardening, relationships...you name it, I'll listen to it! The vast musical options available to me are awesome too. Here's what I'm currently scanning on the preset dial:

1. 60's on 6
2. 80's on 8
3. 90's on 9
4. Nashville - 11
5. Dave Matthews Band Radio - 56
6. 2K on 20
7. All Star Talk - 155
8. Oprah Radio - don't remember the channel
9. America Right - 166
10. America Left - 167
11. Family Talk - 170
12. CNN Headline News - 120 (I think)

What are you tuning into these days?
