Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I'm glad things are going so well for you, Nilly!
Happy birthday, Beverly!
Looking at my apartment one might think that dusting was my most hated chore, as I so rarely do it. But that's because I just don't care, more than because I actively hate it. I don't like cleaning the bathroom, but I do it semi-regularly because otherwise, ewwww. Love the roomba--my carpet's never been so frequently cleaned.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I hate chores that are wet/dirty and/or backbreaking. Mopping, shower cleaning (worst!), handwashing dishes. But like Amy, I'll put clean things away with a song in my heart and a spring in my step.
Um, sometimes. I guess I should get to those dishes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just yelled at the bathtub: "Why are you dirty? When we shower, the dirt gets washed off and should go DOWN THE DRAIN!!!"
I stand by that indignation.

Thank you, Nilly. Everyone has been so kind and helpful to me and my Dad, I'm constantly blown away by it.

t Waves at Trudy Good luck with your surgery! And all the recovery time following it.
how far along are you?
36 weeks. Oh, it seems a lot when I write it like that.

Perfect logic. Reality should conform to that.
The DH hates washing dishes so much, he always used to say that the first thing he'd get when he got married would be a dishwasher, in order to take care of that hated chore. Then he married me, and I totally don't mind washing dishes (not as much as I like folding laundry, bit still), and I said that there's really no need to buy anything which takes care of that, so he didn't. But he's still surprised each time he sees, in real time, how much I don't mind doing that.

I will wash and cold all the laundry if someone else puts it away! Mine ends up in folded piles on my floor.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know what kind of sucks? Deciding that you want to make a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and then realizing you have no grillable cheese.
