Try it, you'll like it

Seems like a good time for a random post about something silly that has made me ridiculously happy this month.

You know how the cap for the laundry detergent always ends up all goopy and gunky? And despite one's best rinsing efforts, the sludgy residue is inescapable?

A few weeks ago I tried out a new laundry detergent because Target lured me with a sale. The little cap had some fabulous advice imprinted on the bottom. Better than a fortune cookie. It said something like, Rinse or Throw in Machine with the Wash.

Really? I can do that? Fabulous.

I suppose perhaps everyone's already been doing this and I'm just out of the loop.

But now that I'm in the loop, I can't help but smile twice every load. Once as I gleefully toss the cap in with the load, feeling strangely rebellious. And again when I switch the load to the dryer and pull out a sparkling clean, goop-free cap. It just doesn't get old.

Try it, you'll like it.
