To do: everything

I am perplexed.  A large portion of my to do list has been the same for a month.  I have not been doing much crossing off and fellow to-do listers know how frustrating this can be.  Some bullets included in the list are simple one-hour projects but still remain from weeks ago.  This is why: three things include painting.  My relationship with painting as changed from indifferent to loathing.  Partly because I hate putting my itchy painting clothes on but also because the setup/ cleanup process takes longer than the actual painting.  I have no excuses anymore though.  Today marks the beginning of my Thanksgiving break which means many things...
one) I have to get my to do list done.
two) the semester is sooo close to the end.
three) I can reunite with my old friends for a week.
By friends I mean the anchors/cast of the Today's Show and Kathie Lee and Hoda.  I have't hung out with them since Arizona so I am very excited to tune in from 7 till 11 for the next week.  :)
Today Kathie Lee and Hoda introduced a couple of their favorite things which inspired me to share my new favorite thing.  It's the best twenty dollars I have spent and hopefully my family will take this advice so they aren't found scrubbing the floors on their knees with volleyball pads on at the age of 70.

SWIFFER WETJET! It's fabulous.  Our house smelled fresh and clean after I was done with my first use and the floors looked considerably cleaner in my opinion.  You simply press a button, swipe, and it's sparkling.  A co-worker asked me if I was going to scrub the floors after snack the other day and after picturing scrubbing on my hands and knees, prying smashed cheese off the floor, I reluctantly said yes.  That was when I was introduced to the Swiffer Wet Jet.  Now, you can often see me scrubbing the toddler floor...even on cottage cheese days.  I really have no idea what my sister and mom have been thinking all these years.  Scrubbing floors has been introduced to me in a whole new way.
