one of my favorites...

Inspired by your blogs, I am going to share with you a few of my favorite things (but not all at once; I am going to make you sweat with anticipation).

I have mentioned once or twice before that I despise getting my hands dirty. Growing up, I thought I hated doing the dishes because of this. Once my favorite oldest sister introduced me to these, my life changed forever.


No, really, it did. This is how:
  • I discovered I love to do dishes.
  • I can kill bugs (even small spiders).
  • I can clean anything (even toilets we are forced to share with gross boys).
  • My hands remain super soft at all times (Brian will vouch for this, even though I kind of just implied that he is gross).
  • No job is too dirty for me (as long as it doesn't smell bad, but that's another story).
All of this is made possible because of my handy gloves. These are not your ordinary rubber cleaning gloves (though those will suffice while traveling). No, these are soft on the inside and boast of thick rubber on the outside. They are GREAT.

I want to share these miraculous life-changers* with YOU. Leave a comment on this post by Friday, June 26, 2009 midnight Eastern time and I will enter your name in a drawing to win a pair. I know, so fun, right?

*They might not really change your life (unless you are as bothered by dirty hands as I am).

As Melissa's friend who too hates cleaning toilets and doing dishes, I say "pick me! pick me!"

Gordita said...

So fun and SO pink!! I totally need gloves, so if I don't win, I'm making a trip to Target or somewhere to get a pair.

Melissa said...

Too funny! I always thought I hated doing dishes too until I moved out on my own and purchased myself a pair of rubber gloves. I am unfamiliar with your magical pink gloves. Do share the details!

Lala said...

So what bathroom do you have to share with gross boys? =)
I know my boys bathroom is so clean you can eat off the the floor.

Can't wait to see if I WIN!

Are they scorpian proof? j/k

What brand are they? The only ones I have used make my hands sweaty.

The boy in my house is messy too. What do boys do in there that make the toilet so stinkin' messy?? At what age do they stop aiming and start shooting?

Send the gloves... I beg you.
(Unless you want to send them to Chrissy - she's my friend!)

I don't have gloves, so will you come do my dishes and kill some spiders for me?

Jen S. said...

I only have the yellow ones that make my hands hot (but I still wear them because of all the reasons you say above) You are too funny.

Kim said...

Yeah, the only ones I've ever had made my hands sweaty, too. So, to me that was gross enough that I stopped using them.

Um, I do believe we were separated at birth.

Did you know I share your passion for clean things? But, as others have said, the sweaty hands things gets me. I just suffer with crusty, dry hands.

Lani said...

you make me laugh.it might be nice to have some good gloves since I am the one in charge of killing spiders since I am taller... (I hate spiders and bugs)

Emy W. said...

Oh my gosh, I LOVE those gloves! They're also good for when I go out to poison weeds.

Pam Mueller said...

I especially love how they match Zoey's pink rings ( I mean bracelets) in the last post!

DarbyM said...

ooohhhh they are PINK! I need some. Can you share the brand and where you get them for the non winners? My hands are always like sandpaper. :(

Berrett's said...

If I win, will you send them to Switzerland?

meg said...

Ohhh, I missed the deadline. I used to have a chartreuse pair from Williams Sonoma but they got lost in a move. They were great!

Stuart♥Maren said...
