What IS that smell?!

We had an accident last week with the Prius. While we were both bringing groceries inside, after our trip to Sam's Club, we both forgot about the milk jugs on the floor in front of the backseat. Since it felt like a bazillion degrees last week, well...the jug split and milk spilled onto the carpet. Confident that we'd caught it within an hour or two of it happening and knowing that both jugs weren't empty (one was half empty, the other, not even 1/4 empty), I sucked it up out of the carpet, shampooed and let it dry. It no worky worky. We took it down to the carwash to have them detail the car, they gave us additional instructions...still the smell of dead milk persisted. This morning, I'd had enough. I pulled the carpet up to see where exactly the ick was. It was in the pad under the carpet. Thankfully the pad under the carpet comes right out. It.was.disgusting. I got the hose and saturated the pad, then i walked and jumped on it, so as to get as much of the ick out as possible. I, then, worked some carpet/upholstery shampoo into it, more hopping and walking to agitate and then rinsed. It was much better, but still....so i repeated. the smell was almost gone, but alas, I was out of carpet shampoo. So I doused the pad with vinegar, repeated and thoroughly rinsed. the pad is now hanging in the sun, drying. I shampooed the carpet on that spot, yet again and left the door open and windows down, so it could air dry in the garage. Hopefully the smell will be gone, or at least most of the way gone. lesson learned...ALWAYS make sure ALL of your groceries are brought into the house. Especially when the forecast calls for HOT weather.

Go ahead, laugh. I did...after I cried.

Cletus they c'aint see us!

Yesterday, while sitting at the proctologist's office (hubby had a follow up colonoscopy. Get your pooper's checked, people!), there was a large man wearing a camouflaged tank top and a camouflaged hunting cap. Now, I'm not a hunter...so maybe I'm not up to speed on these things, but isn't the whole idea of camouflage to blend into your surroundings? If he's in the woods, does he really think nobody's going to notice his blinding white arms in the forest? It's stupid, I know,but I had to stifle an unladylike snort and some giggles when I saw him.

...I'm easily entertained.
