I have new old furniture in my living room! Yes, right smack in the middle of the living room is the "Dreadmill". I call it that because I dread walking on it. Why? I don't know.
7 months ago I moved it in the living room so I could watch chick flicks and listen to my iPod while I walked. NOT!
The "dreadmill" has a coat of dust on it thick enough to qualify as carpet! I immediate begin a massive "canhunt" for the Pledge. Hmm, the last time it was seen was when the Christmas decorations came down around Valentines. I have no luck finding the Pledge can but I notice an empty frame in the sewing/wreck room. It should fit Eli's latest photo still sitting on the dining table. I dust the frame with my t-shirt and frame Eli in 2 seconds flat. Now I notice 4 prints that need to be hung over the couch in the family room. A few months back I had a bad decorating moment and had taken them down. I remember seeing the hammer and nails on the fireplace! 45 minutes later the 4 prints are hung, evenly I might add. I'm hot as hades and ready for a cool down.
I sat down to cool off and turn on a random movie starring a muscled movie star. I am hooked inside of 30 seconds.
An hour later I notice that the kitchen counter had become a storage center for flyers, junk mail, bills, and anything else that belongs elsewhere.
I found a pacifier, 4 pairs of sunglasses, a mouthpiece, various prescription meds, a ton of junk mail, a stack of real mail, sun block, pool toys, an unidentified something that at one time was edible ewwww, 3 pots of fake ivy, 3 empty plastic bags and the clincher a bag of half eaten animal cookies. For the next two hours I did what I call "fufuing", I cleaned the counters, arranged the decorative items in the kitchen and breakfast room. By the time I finished I had a raging headache so I decided to call it a day.
I never did find the Pledge. The "Dreadmill" is still lurking in the living room.
I'm sure it's not going anywhere. Does Wal-Mart sell Pledge?
