today I ordered an 18″ portable dishwasher from Sears.com, on sale, with a mail-in rebate to cover delivery charges. bye bye, dishpan hands! woo hoo!

what kind of dishwasher soap are y'all using these days? is seventh generation any good? i find their toilet paper to be a mite rough but the benefits outweigh the cons and besides, Monstro hasn't complained yet. the seventh generation dish soap is weak but OK, and Nicki and Emily rave about the bathroom cleaner, which they say is NOT smelly. that lysol tub-and-tile stuff makes me want to hurl from the bottom of my soul.
