"Jamais Deux Sans Trois"? Well, In My Case It Was "Jamais UN Sans Troix"
The above saying translates as to "Never 2 without 3". As in if something happens twice, it'll happen a third time.
This morning, a small glass storage bowl popped out of the fridge and smashed on the kitchen floor.
Tonight, I was carrying a paper shopping bag with 2 bottles of olive oil in it up the steps leading to our townhouse. The bag tore open, the bottles fell on the steps and smashed.
There was olive oil all over the steps. And they're not just our steps--all our neighbors use them too.
The Man is my hero. He helped me sweep up the glass, lugged out pails of hot water and dish liquid, and we scrubbed and washed down the stairs. Then we sprinkled them with some of the sand the condo association keeps at the sidewalk for snow/ice, none of which we've used this year!
All of the above was done in the dark by the way, just with a flashlight. And it was COLD!!!!
As I said, the Man is my hero.
And the next time I buy olive oil in Trader Joe's, they'd durn well better double bag it for me!!
Oh, and it may not be as environmentally friendly as whatever TJ's sells to the yuppies, but let me tell you, those ads about Dawn liquid are right.
It really does get grease (or olive oil) out of your way...........
