All by myself

My dad showed up at the skating rink today to watch the kids skate and ended up taking Carly, Wes and Ryan home with him for a few days. I don't know how long they will be gone, but I'm sure they will have a good time. Jacob already had plans so he missed the chance to go.

This evening I was sitting at home and about 10 I opened up a package that came in the mail today. It was a prize I had won and I looked at it with much skepticism. However, with nothing else to do and only reruns of Law and Order on (when are there NOT?), I decided to try out this new Sonic Jewelry Bath.

I read the directions and when I got to the part that said you had to discard the cleaner after every use, I thought to myself that I probably wouldn't be using this thing very often. Seemed rather wasteful to me. I dumped in the solution concentrate, added warm water and began my experiment, already in the back of my mind wondering how much this baby would fetch at a yard sale.

I hung my wedding ring on the little plastic carousel and dropped my necklace into the bottom. After ONE minute I stopped it - because that's what the instructions said to do - and I looked at the water, which although was pink, looked sorta greyish and yukky. I poured the water out over a wet wipe to see what was in it and was amazed at the dirt this little machine had gotten out of my jewelry. I don't wear my wedding ring when I'm cooking or working in the garage, etc., so this is just an accumulation of everyday dirt.

I think it is quite possibly cleaner than it has been in years. So although I was a skeptic - now I'm not. So, if I know you and you have nasty jewelry, feel free to drop by and we'll clean that stuff right up. After all, it only takes a minute.
