Re-do a metal filing cabinet

This is brilliant from Jackie's blog:

I was lucky enough to be given a metal filing cabinet that was exactly what I wanted.
Four drawers.
A lock.



It's even better with a bit of color.

What until you see what I did with this bad boy.

For $20 I got two cans of metal primer spray paint, a can and a half of green spray paint, and some vinyl adhesive wallpaper from target.

Spray it all up, pop the hardware off the drawers and stick your paper down, and you are good to go!

Fitbit

My Fitbit finally came in the mail and I pretty much love it. It tracks my steps, calories burned, mileage and activity. I put it on first thing in the morning and take it off last thing at night (and I plan to sleep with it on pretty soon so it can track my sleep). If you don't have one, you should get one!

Safeguard your home

I just had a meeting with my ecclesiastical leader and he shared how we are being overrun by pornography. He said, "And the only thing this evil needs to take over is for good people to sit back and do nothing."

He then said that we needed to safeguard our homes. He shared with us the website K-9, which is a free web protection site that allows you to download software to your own computers to set-up firewalls against sites you do not want used in your home.

We just set this up on our computers and the process took about 5 minutes. I would encourage all of you to do the same and protect your families.

Ink Stain?

Today at church Lucy was writing with a blue ink pen. She managed to write on my cream skirt and her pink shirt. When we got home, I sprayed hairspray on them, rubbed them a bit and scratched them out with my fingernail and then the stains were gone! Fabulous!
