The part about a hot soak in the tub only reminds you of another place that needs to be cleaned. EXACTLY. Let's just say, I barely get my downstairs clean each day, so my upstairs rarely sees the touch of a cleaning cloth or the sweep of a vaccuum or the scrub on a sponge. Sometimes my bathroom gets to "bachelor status". What would martha stewart say???<BR/>Great post. Great art.
