Just Load the Dishwasher

Rob and I both have Yahoo email accounts, so we often see the stories they have on the Yahoo! homepage. Frequently, the headlines of these stories are intriguing -- "how to get your dream job," etc. But then when you read the article it's filled with common sense things -- dress professionally at your interview. So, we sometimes joke about these stories. I got sucked into one of these stories and it really stuck with me. It was about how to keep on top of household chores with a busy schedule. One of their golden nuggets of advice? Take care of the dishes everyday -- just load the dishwasher and do the few pots.

That really made Rob and I peeved because we don't have a dishwasher. We frequently lament how much more we could do if we didn't have to spend hours every week washing dishes. We both agreed that we'd definitely be able to stay on top of the dishes if all it meant was loading the dishwasher. As it stands now, we get often get behind and our kitchen quickly becomes a disaster.

This week we were able to catch up on the dishes! Rob thought I was joking when I said, take a picture. I was not.

This was the first time in probably a month that this happened. (Well, except for the couple days after Rob got out of the hospital and my Mom came to our apartment and did the dishes like 3 days in a row. <3)

Sometimes you have the celebrate the mini coups.
