Heather!

Great post! I was wondering, though, about you liking to plant things in soil. What else would you plant things in? Concrete? :-)

And I agree, there's nothing worse than coming home to a messy house. And even worse, a load of dishes waiting in the sink. You know, it's like this: you may die when you leave the house. Do you want everybody to think you're a slob when they come to clean out your house? No, you don't. That's why we clean.

Same goes for clean underwear. Maybe cleaning is your hobby.

Amen.

Chad
