In addition to the weblog party, I got quite a few things done over the weekend. I ripped 86 CDs into MP3s to rebuild the collection I lost when my laptop died earlier this summer. I also went shopping at Target and bought some shelves to put my CDs on and a few other things for the apartment. As if that weren't enough, I also put on my plumbers hat and put in a new showerhead in the bathroom that michael and I share. Its one of those hand sprayer things on a hose. Other than dropping my roll of Teflon tape and losing about 4 feet of its length when I was wrapping the threads of the showerhead, everything went pretty well. And the tape only cost me 79 cents and I'll undoubtedly lose the whole roll before I ever need to use it again, so it wasn't a major loss.
I also did my own ironing this weekend rather than taking my shirts to the dry cleaner. What a big waste of time. It took me hours to get through five shirts. I worked with a guy earlier this summer who claimed he ironed his shirts every morning before coming into work and it only took him a minute or two each morning. I must be missing something, because I spend 20-30 minutes on a shirt. Which makes the $1.25 I spend to get them cleaned ironed all the more valuable.
The other thing I wanted to note was that I found a big tank of laundry detergent in the parking lot at Sam's over the weekend. I asked all the people nearby if it was theirs, but they all said it wasn't. So I brought it home. But I felt bad about taking it and it was so big that I didn't have any place to put it in the apartment, so I wrote "Free - Take as much as you need" on the side and left it on the laundry room in my building. Bets are on as to how long it will stay there before being taken by someone.

I was wondering who put that out there. Now at least I know that there's nothing wrong with it, I must just have to use some...
