Household appliances make me ridiculously happy.

I got a countertop dishwasher off CraigsList a couple of weeks ago for $100. Dishes have always been my least-favorite household chore, so I would let them sit in the sink and then they got really nasty which made it even less fun. But now I have sparkly glasses and silverware that isn't sticky, I can regularly see the bottom of my sink, and all without having to actually touch any grossness. I had to replace some light bulbs today so I even popped the globes into there - who knows how many years of crud came off but it's a lot brighter in my kitchen and bedroom now. I even did a little dance in my kitchen today to the rhythm of the wash cycle - while Pepper stared at me like I was insane.

Then I cleaned her litterbox, swept out her cage, and then let the Roomba deal with all the little crumbly bits while I went into the other room and read my mail. Not only do I not have to breathe in all the little dust-flecks, but it even sings a happy little song when it's done.

Yeah, I'm a dork, but a dork with a clean kitchen!

So the house is clean. What's the plan for tomorrow?

Roombas are awesome. My dad has the vaccum one and the mopping one. He calls the second one Mr. Piddles. I have a special family. :) My roommate leaves dishes out for a really long time. I investigate them for new lifeforms. (I am doing research on fungus, it's like a science experiment in my sink.)

Hey, how do you like your Roomba? Costco's got a coupon for them in a couple of weeks, and I was thinking that for $200 it might be worth it... How well does it work?

And rabbits always seem to think you're insane when you're dancing...

I am also a dork. I think we might have bumped into each other at one of the local cons, unless there is another Wendy Lady out there who also runs about in Renaissance get-up.

Must be the phase of the moon or the conjunction of the planets or something- house cleaning is The Thing To Do!

Clean is good.

Clean with less effort than usual... priceless :-)
