Wild and crazy Friday nights

Let it not be said that I don't know how to let loose on a Friday night.

This past Friday, a newly purchased steam cleaner arrived on our doorstep. So, naturally, I spent the night trying it out. Justin said he felt like he was dreaming. I was alternating between cooking and cleaning (for probably the first time in our four years of marriage). If I had been wearing high heals, I would have been the model wife. But I have to say that it was a night well spent because our carpet and rugs are now spotless.

BA, I strongly considered taking a picture of the dirty water and ridiculous pile of pet hair that the cleaner accumulated as a mock pic for the 30-day photo challenge, but I refrained. Like the mature adult that I am...too sophisticated for such shenanigans. Or maybe because the idea of putting such a picture on the Internet for the world to see creeped me out. Either way, you're welcome.

We bought ourselves one right after we moved in. In our house, it's nearly pointless. We shampoo and clean and a week later, thanks to three pets, a baby, and my tendency to spill things, the carpet looks the same. That and it doesn't get out the spot where Gracie ate a bottle of baby oil. I REALLY just want to get rid of this stupid carpet. Next on the list.

when we got a steam cleaner i composed a love song to it. I find myself singing it a lot with one messy dog. The love I have for my steam cleaner is only matched by my love of the Dyson. I kinda want to see the dog hair pile.... Jamie and I always force each other to look before emptying. We compete over who got the most in the shortest space. We need hobbies.
