ita, I applaud you for holding fast to politeness. You were being nothing but considerate, and I do not think of that as American anymore than Canadian or English or Belgian.
OK, more housework, diahwasher loaded and running, load of laundry in, folded laundry taken to rooms, matched up receipts with items to be returned. And a small thing, but I got the state quarters re-attached to the US map which 1 got them off the counter, but also used up the last remains of two rolls of clear tape, so now we only have one tape dispenser taking up space in the drawer.
I was going to run errands, even got showered, but the neighbor came over for a playdate with mac, so I am just going to do the errands tomorrow and do more stuff here.
You know what's weird? I have found that living in a house without a dishwasher has made me much better about dishes. I do them more often, so I don't get as annoyed with putting them away (never mind loading a dishwasher; always dislike unloading it). Never would have guessed I wouldn't miss a dishwasher. I can see it being a pain in the neck if it were more than just myself I was washing up after.
Ooh. Dinner's ready. Homemade lasagne that I didn't have to make, woo!
My new dishwasher is old school (there's a lever! and a dial!), and it cleans old school too. I got used to leaving food on dishes, but with this dishwasher, in order to get it clean, I have to clean it almost as much as if I'm just washing it.
I know several people who love their progressives. I've never been able to adjust to them. They have a sweet spot--almost like a peephole where focus is optimal (u c wut I did there?), the rest of the lens doesn't have that razor focus. H almost wrecked his truck because his peripheral vision was so blurred he didn't see the car that ran the stopsign on his right.
That's exactly what I dislike about mine -- my peripheral vision is so blurred it's almost as bad as my uncorrected vision, and the field of vision that's actually useable is too small.

That's my dishwasher too. Old school. I didn't know there were dishwashers that didn't have levers and dials... but it works, so I'm not shopping for a new one just yet. 2012 is the Year of Saving Money, for me. I haven't had a savings account since I spent all my money moving here in 2009. It makes me nervous, not having any cushion at all.
Oh, it works, but I just got used to the newfangled one with the buttons that you don't have to rinse the dishes.
Okay, so Nancy Grace is pretty odious, but man her rant right now is seductive. I don't watch her at all (hostage at parents house, previously stated), but her discussion of this recent murder case (the man confessed to murdering a child) is WILD. I am completely sucked into her theatrical rage. It is so over the top. I cannot get over it.
If this is how she is every day, I can see why she has viewers.
I do not want to be sick for the third NYE running. I do not want to be sick for the third NYE running. I do not want to be sick for the third NYE running.
