My husband is a Canadian born in the Azores, and the Portuguese are the world's best cleaners. He detailed my house once and it was the first time I saw someone wash the walls. So when he finally gets to the Tri-State area, I'm going to ask him to do something about the smell near Newark and Secaucus!

Meanwhile, God is still having fun with me. I'm interviewing for a much better job (but a longer commute), which will allow us to buy cleaning products by the caseload!

Hey Kaitie, tell us about your new life!
