Today I learned how to recycle old candles. I am a sucker for scented candles and have a lot of old candles that had long ago burned out. There's still a lot of wax left in the jars...just no wick. So today I got the bright idea to melt all the wax down, take the wicks out of some old unscented candles and make new scented ones. It really worked! The recylced ones work and look good as new! I even melted down some of the unscented candles, added a couple drops of fragrance and VOILA...scented candles! I am so proud of myself!
The hubby and I have been getting along extremely well the past couple of days for some reason. We had a really big argument the other day and afterwards acted as if nothing had happened. It's been that way ever since. Hmm...
In other news, I had the day off from work today and boy do my calories reflect it! I had to exercise an extra five minutes just to get me out of the negative! I've got to get more Fiber One Bars for breakfast soon. They contribute a big chunk of fiber to my daily needs, and my body is REALLY missing them, if ya know what I mean, lol!
