I know most of you look at Tom and I and assume we must live a glamorous life. What with the house in Holliston, the dogs, the picket fence, the endless hours of home renovations and landscaping. You probably think our life is a whirlwind of excitement.
It will surprise you to know that you are wrong. Case in point: We have house cleaners that come every other week. I had started to become a little dissapointed in their work, so I sent an email to the owner of the business sharing my "concerns". I included pictures :-)
Yesterday was the first cleaning since my email, and the place was spotless. OH JOY! The BEST part was the toilet paper in both bathrooms. CHECK IT OUT!

When I went to the upstairs bathroom after I got home from work I noticed it. Because I was SO excited I
reached over to under the sink to use a new roll of toilet paper so I could preserve the toiletry art for Tom's viewing pleasure. I found Tom in the bedroom and told him the exciting news! Guess what? Tom TOO had already used the bathroom since he had been home and he TOO had
reached under the sink for another roll of toilet paper so as to not spoil the opportunity of such a moment for me!
Little did either of us know at the time that the downstairs bathroom was graced with the same artistry - we ARE blessed.
So, there you have it, that was, by far, the highlight of my week.
When Ann told me that she had used it this morning - used it! - I was filled with hate. This cheery bathroom boutonnière, this precious petal of paper perfection, had been flushed into the cesspool that is my memory.

ReplyDeleteO Rose! who dares to name thee?
No longer roseate now, nor soft, nor sweet;
But pale, and hard, and dry, as stubble-wheat, -
Kept seven years in a drawer-thy titles shame thee.
The breeze that used to blow thee
Between the hedgerow thorns, and take away
An odour up the lane to last all day, -
If breathing now, - unsweetened would forego thee.
Stubble-wheat and odours? Someone's been huffing the Lysol.
