I have discovered today that it is indeed possible to clean until one's fingers bleed. Well, just one finger, in a small spot. I should have kept the cleaning gloves on. Doh!
My kitchen, however, is freakishly spotless, including the stove, oven, vent, refrigerator (inside and out), the dishwasher, the pantry, the floors, and the cabinets.
Dean did the cabinets folks, and they are -gorgeous-. He did a downright brilliant job making them -spotless-. And he took me to Denny's. He's my hero. :)
Oh, and the good news? Well, still holding off a bit, but I can let slip that it involves him only being up here for two weeks by himself. :)
