A (Clean) Love Story.....

Somewhere along the way I saw it staring at me in it's bright

red, blue and yellow packaging. Innocently waiting there as I dug into the bin

of antibacterial wipes that I had come for. They seemed to call to me

"take me home please"... and

since I am a sucker for clean; I obliged!

I must admit that I really did not buy the line, "instant stain remover"

I have been burned before you know so this relationship would have to

be on a trail basis until I felt secure enough to be loyal and fully commit!

The time has come to exclaim to the world that YES I AM IN LOVE....

there I said it, I have committed (or is that, I should be committed?)

I can tell you the moment it happened, the exact moment that my heart

melted and I knew we would be together forever!

Wearing a new aqua colored shirt, I walked joyously into my kitchen

and began to devour, um I mean daintily eat my fresh and oh so

delicious blueberries that I had brought home that very morning.

After enjoying the bounty of blueberries I looked down as something

caught my eye, there it was; the SPOT

(OK I am trying very hard not to open up on a scene from MACBETH here)!

My heart sank, blueberry juice had stained my beloved shirt and

in a spot that seems to protrude out of my front like the great

mountains of the west! This was not good!!

But wait, could this be a chance for my new "mate" and

I to consummate our new relationship?

I called upon it's name as I dug in my purse to retrieve my new

friend, this is your chance to prove yourself I said.

Then it began, I broke the cap free and began to swirl and push, it was

as if there was a great blizzard beating about the great mountain.

Then just as the blizzard winds do, I gave it one last swirl and went

on my way. Just as you do in any relationship, I gave it time.

Time to think upon the path that our relationship had just

taken, time to decide "was this really going to work out", time

to repair any damage that was done.

When I was ready to face the tragedy again, when I had my

strength renewed and my temper calmed, I decide it was time.

I looked down at the soaring mountains ready to feel elated, ready

to move on to happier times!

I could not help but to exclaim in a loud joyous voice, YES, YES, YES......

it was gone, the spot was gone!!! It was if it had never

happened, it was clean and beautiful again!

(and a bit more perky I might add:):)

My new love was true, it had not failed me! We are one and what joy

fills my clean freak heart!!

I wish for you all the same true love, the same exhilarating feeling of clean

when you drip! You have no need for e-harmony or LDS singles.com, just

walk yourself (saunter if you prefer)

to your local laundry detergent isle and let the romance begin.

I highly recommend you bring a coupon, it helps the relationship to

start off with an extra sparkle:):)
