Oh, except for the part about the detailing - I've never dared take my minivan in for detailing, I'm too scared. I do periodically take it to the car wash and dump a bunch of quarters into the vacuum machine, usually enough quarters to take it down a few levels of strata...<BR/><BR/>One time, a Demonic Peach rolled free from his brethren in the bag on our way home from the U-Pick farm up the road. He managed to elude me for almost two weeks, tormenting me with an ungodly smell that grew funkier and stronger with each passing summer day. By the time he'd rotted too much to be mobile and I found him, his goo was moldy. Serious decomp. All I can say is, thank goodness for Nature's Miracle - I buy the citrus NM by the gallon. (I always tell the PetCo people we have lots of cats. We have one. Really, it's for the kid. We have one of those also.)<BR/><BR/>Love your blog!

He just got a new car and, like your husband, he keeps it immaculate. I drove it the other day and he was actually irritated when he called me to ask why I had taken it. <BR/>When I pulled back in the garage - he was waiting - foot tapping - inspecting it before I had the car in park.

Every once in a while, it will get a good cleaning by me and that entails a good amount of time.<BR/><BR/>First I need to empty it. There have been times that I fill up the entire porch with clothes, shoes, books, toys, etc. Then I get the trashcan. Not the small little kitchen one. The big boy from the yard. I begin in the front and start dumping. Most times I just close my eyes because who knows...there could be something living in there. <BR/>Then I go to the do it yourself car wash because they are the only ones that have a powerful enough vacuum to suck up the fruit snacks off the carpet. <BR/><BR/>It's only then that I will take it to the car wash where they do the inside and out of the car just so they will think that I keep my car all clean...and I make sure I take the kids just to prove that I can handle it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
