The mother in law is in town and will be over for lunch in a couple of hours.

Which means I must forsake blogging for the wondrous activity of cleaning the bathroom which she will, undoubtedly, not use while she's here.

I'm tempted to not clean it. But I know the minute I don't, she'll use it and I'll have points removed from the "good daughter-in-law" column.

Sigh.

UPDATE: Helpful Household Tip For the Day:

The new dishwasher is stainless steel. I didn't have anything in the house to keep it looking nice---everything leaves streaks galore. I was about to go to the store to find some specialty stainless steel cleaner, but I happened to read in a Southern Living that club soda works just as well as some fancy-schmancy cleaner. I was skeptical to say the least, but considering we always have the stuff in the house, I was more than willing to give it a shot.

You know what? It works perfectly. WooT! You'll need to use something, ahem, a wee bit stronger if you get a splatter, but use the club soda to remove all the streaks, etc. Yippeee. I have no more room under the counter for one more specialty cleaning product. I just don't. So it's doubly nice that this is something that's a. already on hand and b. costs $0.79 for a liter.
