Ah, Black Friday. A day that only comes once a year (Thank goodness). The day that officially kicks off the Christmas shopping season. (You see, Trader Joe's had it wrong. The four seasons are not "Winter, Spring, Summer, Pumpkin," but rather Spring, Summer, Pumpkin, Christmas shopping.)
And also the day to catch up on smelly old dirty dishes.
Okay, so maybe not. But that's what I did on Black Friday. The Leaning Tower of Pisa had been smirking at me long enough. (That and my husband had a psychotic break on Wednesday and rabidly washed dishes in a fit of anxiety. For the first time in YEARS he washed dishes, making me feel exceptionally guilty...after my feelings of overwhelming shock, awe, and joy subsided...)
I dove in, hands first. I scrubbed and rubbed and sprayed and soaked. Black Friday took on a whole new meaning for me as I mentally reminded myself to use the "Heavy Wash" setting for extra sanitation. *shudder*
But finally, the dishwasher was full and only one (yes, ONE!) lonely, leftover pot remained in the sink with a sprinkling of silverware. I was too spent to disinfect the kitchen counters. Oh well, job security.

Congrats on taking care of your dishes. I personally am reaching the point of wondering why I can't just throw them away when they are dirty. If I figure out a way to afford new dishes all the time, I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for starting a blog. It's fun and it gives you a reason to write often. Keep it up!
Thanks! I guess we could just use paper plates?? I am having fun and I love writing every day :)
ReplyDeleteRhea's aunt Carolyn used paper plates so much that she called them Pribble china (Pribble being her last name at the time) lol
ReplyDeleteLOL!! That is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I need a fit of cleaning frenzy to hit me. After I pass this test, this house is getting scrubbed! (maybe after my spa day ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy house is still in dire need of more cleaning frenzies lol! I went on a cleaning frenzy tonight, in fact...
