Today I had brunch with the San Diego Surf Ladies and got to hang out with some people who I don’t get to see all that often.  We went to Naked Cafe (named for their use of “naked” or unprocessed food, not because everyone is actually naked) in Solana Beach.  They have amazing food; I got the coconut french toast.  I felt like I was eating dessert!

This afternoon I finally caved in and purchased my very own……vacuum.  Yes, I’m quite excited about this turn of events.  I spent an hour vacuuming my apartment which had sprouted cobwebs in every corner.  My apartment has a vacuum but it’s awful and doesn’t work well at all.

Example. Not me.

I then mopped the hard floors with my Swiffer Wet Jet, which is a stunning achievement in the field of home appliance engineering.  It’s like a little mop, but on the handle is a little trigger that causes the thing to squirt cleaning solution in front of the mop.  The mop heads are also disposable, so you always have a clean mop.  Probably not very environmental but heck if it’s not convenient.  Such is the downfall of our society.

Anyway, my apartment is completely spick and span now!  Very happy.

I also found this amusing cartoon:
