Three Cheers For Ice Makers

I made it to the gym this morning in an attempt to be nice to myself. I missed going all last week because the kids and I had colds. I really needed to get back there and now that I have, I feel good and tired. I'm going to enjoy this feeling and not even clean my kitchen. I'm so rebellious!

Not really. My real excuse for ignoring the dishes is that the dishwasher isn't rinsing well and I want Chris to look at it for me. Eventually I may have to resort to washing the sink full of dishes by hand but I'm hoping I won't become that desperate. I read an article about a woman that designed her kitchen without a dishwasher since she only used china and it all had to be washed by hand. I fantasized for a moment what it would be like to live like that. So beautiful, so romantic. So annoying! Sheesh. I'm all about progress and technology. Sure I want to raise my kids on a farm but I'm talking four wheel drives and central air, not buggies and corsets. If we can't get farm land with DSL we're going to have to re-think this whole thing!
