I would like to never wash dishes ever again.

Talk about a thankless task. Just when you think you're done, there's always something else that needs washing.

They may be pretty, in fashion, and all the rage these days, but they are a PITA to clean and maintain.

That's all I've got to say.

I've been super productive this weekend, and now I feel like I need another weekend just to make-up for the one I haven't had. But I feel good about myself because I finally did what I've needed to do for a very long time: I cleared the dining room area of all the stacks and boxes that have been sitting there since, well, pretty much since I moved ( Read more... )

Operation Spring Cleaning was, I'm happy to report, almost entirely successful. I still have to vacuum upstairs, so I'll work on that this week after work, but at least I crossed everything else off, in addition to making lunch and dinner for the week and making a run to the mall for a baby shower gift bag.
