Note to self: the Stain Stick rescue operation
March 25th 2008 by Jen in RandomnessI was doing laundry yesterday and while getting a dryer sheet, I fumbled the Stain Stick and knocked it back behind the washer and dryer. I contemplated just leaving it there until we move (could be years!) and just buying a new one, but I really like my washer and dryer, they are new and beautiful machines and I wouldn’t want something to happen to them because I was lazy and allowed Stain Stick to explode or mold and fester back there. So I went to Dan and sheepishly gave him the news. And then we both went to our tasks of constructing our retrieval tools, Dan physically and me mentally. Dan tried attaching a suction cup to the vacuum attachements with scotch tape. That didn’t work because those suction cups suck at sucking. Then I suggested making a loop out of packing tape and attaching it to a broom handle. Dan immediately saw that the broom was too long. So, we attached the packing tape (Jen) to the end of the vacuum attachments (Dan) and rescued our Stain Stick! Yay, the beauty of marriage and complementing each other.
