This led to the hubby and I sweeping and hosing the mess. This involved lots of supervision on my part and manual labor on the part of dear hubby. We keep the hose in the backyard since the front of the house is maintained by the association and we've used the hose in the front yard about a half dozen times in 2 years. Striker brought the hose around and once the porch and walkway were desauced, I suggested that he hose off the front window since it was rather dusty (still lots of construction going on and the front of the house gets hit with all the wind), and sure, why not the rest of the windows in the front of the house. Ew, and make sure to hose down the wall under the window (white hose + dirt trail = nasty). And since we're headed towards the master bedroom, why not hose down BirdVision (aka the cats TV, aka large window that overlooks lots of birds in the alley). And of course since we'll be hosting the second annual July 4th Fireworks Extravaganza, why not hose off around the garage (again, white house + lots of dirt = nasty!) and since you've got the hose out and need to put it back in the backyard, how about hosing off the patio furniture and windows in the back of the house so we can start using them since the sun is finally coming out now that June Gloom might be over?
The best part? Striker blames the bagger at Stater Bros for all the spring (or summer) cleaning. :)
I sorta feel the same way about Stater Bros as I do Walmart. If only they weren't the closest grocery store, I would boycott them altogether.

OR, on the brighter side ;-)
Think of how great the Stater Bros are for prompting so much of your to-do-list to be completed ahead of schedule!
If I were striker I would blame the checker too but I have other questions:
(1) Why did you need 4 jars of Prego?
(2) Why Prego? Is it really better than Ragu?
(3) Why kind of Prego was it? Just tomato sauce?
(4) You are lucky that all this cleaning is done already
(5) I never shop at Stater Bros (There isn't one close by)
Window washing was on the to do list, but it was so far down that it would likely have been procrastinated until next year.
4 jars because they were 2 for $5. We eat spaghetti as our lazy weeknight dinner about once a week. Prego is better than Ragu. Ragu is more runny. Not just tomato, but some fancy concoctions with parmesan and garlic. Striker says "Prego for the prego." KT you are too far west for Stater Bros. Be happy about this!
reusable bags... definitely would hold 4 jars of prego.
Prego is better than Ragu. :)
