What are you doing right now? Part II

Feeling a little guilty because I'm resting while my daughters slave in the kitchen. My oldest daughter is such an amazing chef. Food smells so so so good. Preparing myself before the crowd arrives and things get a little crazy. Gave Marley a nice bath and dressed her in her Christmas best. HAHA
 
"Talking" with my daughter in CA. Asked her if mommy and daddy are getting excited for tomorrow. She says yes, especially daddy. He's such a big kid. :D Grandson is only 2, so he's not aware yet to be excited.
 
Just finished watching one of my favorite movies, Love Actually. A warm, funny, and cozy movie. Always good for Christmas Eve.
 
Just finished a couple of levels in Skylanders, Trap Team. My Christmas gift from my husband.

Big surprise, and lots of fun.
 
Watching tv and watching my cat enjoy the fireplace. She loves the warmth.
 
Chatting with my girls and relaxing. I'm totally exhausted but had a wonderful day. My goddaughter warms my heart. She is talking so much, so excited for Santa and she loves visiting with everyone in the room. Children and Christmas are a beautiful thing to watch.

My daughter knocked over a whole glass of red wine on my beige carpet. What a mess, trying everything we can and hopefully it will come out.

Make sure you don't rub the wine in the carpet. That will damage the carpet fibers and make the stain harder to remove. Blot with a paper towel or rag. You can use white vinegar to dilute it. Then rinse with cold water, and blot again. (Hot water will set the stain.)

That is a color that you should not have a clash problem if you use some area rugs in colors that you like over the top of the carpet.

But there are so many neutral colors that I am surprised that you put in one that you hate not knowing when or if you would get a sale.

I soaked up as much as I could. Then we poured lots of salt over the area, placed paper towels over that and put heavy weights on top of that. It's suppose to draw out all the red wine. What a mess though. I will let everyone know later if this worked.

Salt can work but it's a bit harsher process. You must be sure to get all the salt residue out or else it will get crusty.

The "don't rub" rule is true for anything that is spilled on carpet. Soak and blot only. If a chemical or product is used, test it first on carpet that won't show, like in a closet or on a scrap piece, to be sure that the color won't change.
 
I feel tired because of the turkey that I ate for dinner. I will probably watch a Christmas movie soon.
 
I was trying to open a link from my city to see about an update on the plastic bag ban and I a warning for 2 links saying it could harmful to my computer to open them. This is on my city web site .
