You know on that episode of Friends where Monica uses the little vacuum to vacuum the big vacuum and then says something along the lines of "Now if only they made a little one to clean this one…"?
I think it was episode #678.
Kidding.
I realize that I'm a nerd and half and am filled with all sorts of inane information that is only useful for random insertion into blog entries and Trivial Pursuit (The Pop Culture Edition), but I seriously don't remember episode numbers.
Stop looking at me like that- I don't, I swear.
However, she did have shorter hair and a natural facial structure; so I'd wager that it's an episode from that brief period in nineties before all of the real people were permanently replaced with the robots.
Damn you, Hollywood.
Anyhow, back to my point; and, yes, I really do have one.
Stop looking at me like that- I do, I swear.
For those of you who do remember the episode, congratulations, you're old enough to drink. May I suggest Vodka?
After all, Vodka is to happiness as creepy anal retentive Monica is to Judith. That's me. (And that's my point in case you weren't paying attention.)
In an effort to cut down down on our use of harmful household chemicals, we bought a nifty steam cleaner last week; and I have subsequently steamed every single item in my household. You know that grate at the bottom of the fridge? Steamed it. The little logo on the washing machine that has that bit of lint/dust/general dirty crap that refuses to come off for even the handiest of Peter's toothbrushes? Steamed it. All of my floors? The couch? The bathtub? The mirrors? The windows? That spot around the gear shift in my car?
I steam cleaned the freezer, folks.
Oh, yeah… And the vacuum is pretty sparkly too.
So for today (and maybe Friday too because I'm planning on re-organizing my closet), you may refer to me as "Creepy Anal Retentive Before She Was a Robot Monica".
And I won't mind in the slightest.

I vacuum my vacuum. I admit it. I'm okay with it. I own 3 vacuums, a shop vac and a carpet cleaner…..I want a steamer!! My mom has a steamer and she loves it. I better get the steamer when she dies…..

Wow this post made me so happy. I've been wanting to buy one of those, but my hub keeps insisting that it's not anything that anyone really buys. (Do you actually *know* anyone with a BowFlex?) But now I can tell him A-FREAKIN'-HA!!!! I do know someone with one and I want one too!!!
WHOOPEE!!!

Please please come visit. We'll laugh and drink vodka, and you can steam clean my whole house too. *grin* OR, you can bring your steamer with you, and we can laugh and drink vodka and let my HUSBAND steam the whole house while we laugh and drink vodka. A much better plan…

To me, one of those things is sort of like an exercise video. (I know, but hear me out.)
I have several exercise videos. They don't work. Wait, let me rephrase that. They *play*, but I'm still fat.
Sort of that way with funky new cleaning things. They *operate*… but the house is still a mess.
Hmm. Go figure.

Is it too hot for kids? Maybe at first it's hot but if they stand near it for long enough they get used to it? Now that would win product of the year.

I am so jealous. Our dog (well….husband's dog that came with husband…I'm more of a step-mother to dog) sheds more than ANY DOG ON THE PLANET. I want a steam cleaner.
Enviously yours
