Happy weekend! I thought it would never come, which is ridiculous because I left work early on Monday and was off Tuesday. Why do the short work weeks always seem longer?
Today I have basically two things to do. Well, two fun things and one not-fun thing. There are six plastic totes of memory stuff that Mr. Lipstick brought down from the attic for me. I peeked in the first box and found an old photo album with pictures from high school and a bunch of My Little Pony's. I am thinking all this memory sorting is going to take a. long. time.
Then the kiddies and I are going to visit Candlelight and The Captain's Wife (my two best buds from pharm school). There will be much gossiping and kid chasing and hysterical laughing. It will be a good time had by all.
My non-fun task is washing dishes. A whole kitchen-full of them. Our dishwasher died last week and the new one is almost ready to be installed. Mr. Lipstick got one of those that can hold a wooden front so it looks like one of the cabinet drawers. He built the faux door and it just needs one more coat of paint. Thank goodness, because I do not like this manual dishwashing.
I admit it-I am hooked on my dishwasher. I even put stuff in there that isn't supposed to go in the dishwasher. I have even been told that you are not supposed to put Pyrex in the dishwasher, but I have been putting some mixing bowls that we got as a wedding present (in 1997) in there all this time, and they look good as new. What good is any kind of dish or pot if it can withstand the heat or cold of cooking, but can't survive the dishwasher? I mean, really-who needs such fickle and demanding cookware? Not me. Maybe I am being a bit melodramatic. It hasn't been a huge crisis. I mean, it's not like we lost the internet for a week.

I LURVE going through old memories... it could literally take days!
Dont you wish you had a magic wand to take care of those dishes! UGH! feel for you! I am just staring at my dishwasher wishing it would empty ITSELF.... God knows no one else in my house knows how!
Seriously! I'd rather lose my dishwasher than my internet ANY day! Have a great time sorting through all those memories (hint: MH was recently introduced to My Little Pony and loves playing with them, I know you'll love handing them down to Pretty Girl in a year or two!), and hanging out with your BFFs. I always love hearing the stories about them!
Hey, what would us busy mums do without a dishwasher? I even put wood in mine, ha!
screw fickle cookware! washing dishes is the worst, of course in our Bklyn apt. there is no dishwasher, and we dream of the day we will be able to hide those dirty dishes away.
you don't have to tell me about dishwashers. i'm a nut for a dishwasher. i recently experimented to see if you could wash clothes in there. for the record, you cannot.
Dishwashing... The hardest thing to do. I decided to "cut down" our electricity bill and thought it would be a good idea to "handwash" for a while. Bad idea. Funny how we get so spoiled, isn't it!
And, this is going to be fun!!
