Do I use it?... No.
Do I need it?... No.
Do I love it?... YES!!!
You see a young co-worker, who recognized my need to let loose once in a while, gave it to me the week before my 41st Birthday and told me that everyone should feel like a princess on her birthday. I told her that I'd be in Chicago on holiday with my family for that day and she made me promise that I would take a picture of me wearing it. My daughter and I decided that Buchingham Fountain would be the perfect place for a photo since it sounded regal. I discretely carried the tiara to the fountain and dutifully put it on. My daughter took her sweet time taking the photo as she was relishing my embarassment, as I stood there looking dumb, and telling her to hurry up and take the stupid photo. I did feel like a princess in a ridiculus fun sort of way. That was 6 years ago.
Flash forward to today...
Holding that tiara in my hands, I couldn't resist the urge to place it on my head. A magical transformation took place... I became the Queen of Clean! A super hero of my own making! Able to clean with renewed energy and with a smile beaming on my face! Suddenly cleaning didn't seem like such drudgery. For now I am a Queen... a Queen who doesn't mind to clean... well almost. Its only a tiara, not a magic wand.
I am thinking a tiara should become my new cleaning uniform.
I never thought I'd take a picture of me posing with a toilet brush...
Have I gone nuts? !!
