Counters.

Dogs are very useful animals. They make good alarm systems, theft deterrents, bed warmers, exercise buddies, and dish washers. Awesomedog is particularly good at removing every single molecule of edible substance from any surface. This makes him a very convenient alternative to a mop.

I'm pretty sure this cleaning method cannot be used on other surfaces, but there are those who would disagree.

Shamefully domestic.

Sometimes I just feel way too domestic. Since I work from home I also do most of the cooking and cleaning. While I am a proud and independent woman capable of handling powertools and minor car repairs, I occasionally catch myself doing things like being way too excited about my new mop.

But seriously, if you don't already own one, go stop reading this and go buy one right now.

It's been raining way more than normal, and I've pretty much given up on keeping the floor clean until the yard is made from something other than mud.
