1. I've officially become un-shocked by the ugliness of our house. Yes, well will still be re-siding, re-windowing, and re-roofing this summer (it still doesn't look good.) I realized yesterday that I no longer had to control my gag reflex when I pulled into the drive way.
2. When my parents visited a few weeks ago, my mom figured out how to fit all of our bowls into a tiny space in our new(-ish) dishwasher. . . and they still get clean. We'd had them taking up most of the top rack. This is seriously fantastic in my book.
3. I've (we've) been with a cold since the end of January. After going through several boxes of tissues, I thought I would give a handkerchief a try. I will admit that it is not appropriate for all stages of a cold (I will spare you the specifics). I wouldn't take one out in public, but for the around the house, drippy faucet nose, I am a convert. Cloth is much nicer on the skin than tissue. I like the idea of not wasting tissue and creating more trash. I highly suggest giving it a try. Let me know what you think.
P.S. A hoody pocket is convenient for storage.
4. Jon and I are starting our garden seedlings indoors this year. We have never done this before, and it is exciting to see little plants pop up even when it is below freezing outside. Granted it is only basil so far, but we are going to do most of our plating this weekend. I hope this will be our key to getting good broccoli and lettuce.

So, right here, right now, everyone can stop making fun of my multiple-use kleenex. See how they are not different from a handkerchief?
I need a dishwasher this week (midterms). Even if someone just wants to come by and be a one-time dishwasher, that would be swell.
I am glad your house does not make you gag anymore.
