tiki has been called many things in her life: scientist, philosopher, collector, observer, master of the Pan flute. OK, just kidding about that last one. But one thing we have never, and shall never, be called is "housekeeper." Because, ya know, we really don't give a shit.
Given that, as y'all may know, Mr. Tikistitch hails from a certain tropical island off the coast of Florida, and given tiki's affliction with what may be called, "blondeness," Mr. Tiki has drawn parallels between our domestic existence and a certain TV Land staple featuring a fiery Cubano plus a somewhat....distracted woman of distinctive hair color.
It was not a surprise, given our domestic proclivities, that upon returning home from Safeway today that tiki realized we had forgotten the one thing we had actually made a foray there specifically to obtain, mainly, dishwashing detergent. Crusty dishes threatened to take over our abode, however, so after dumping the dregs of our spent box of Cascade into the dishwasher's detergent slot, we decided to top it off with a tiny squirt of the liquid handwashing detergent we keep by the sink. And maybe another squirt. Or two. Ya know, just to make sure.
We retreated to the living room to enjoy our TiVo of Olbermann. And totally forgot about our fabulous dishwashing experiment. Until we had cause to return our dinner bowl to the kitchen sink.
Er....
Can you say, "Hee-larious sitcom-style ocean o' suds seeping out of the dishwasher onto the floor?"
*gah*
After twenty minutes of somewhat slippy-slidey style mop-wielding, our kitchen floor was returned to normal. Actually, that's a lie. It hasn't been this clean since we moved in here.
Just, er, don't tell Mr. Tiki, ok? He might accuse us of, ya know, blonde-itude.
