Multitasking city here today. Laundry is going, kids started on school stuff, feeding the hatchlings, starting some homemade tortilla-less soup. All the other torts are outside enjoying some sunshine and I'm having some coffee.

It's cloudy and dreary here today. Some parts of California are going to be getting rain. It seldom rains here in September, so I doubt it will rain this time. Once the farmers have put out the grapes on trays in the field, Mother Nature sometimes shows her perverse side and rains on them, but not very often.

I've been putting it off for a very long time, but I think I'm going to try to muster up the energy to do a bit of housework. I've discovered that when a house only has one person living in it the spiders think it's ok to move in. Not too many daddy long legs but quite a few black widows in the unused corners.

Does anyone have a GOOD, and easy to use, method for getting the hardened on grease dots off the wall behind the stove? I've tried Mr. Clean and a scouring pad, but nothing gets them off besides scraping them off with a table knife, and that's just too time consuming. I s'pose I could just paint over them.

Ok...time for me to go and get reacquainted with my vacuum cleaner.

Is it on the wall or is there a backsplash? Maybe a widget?

It's actually on the wall. Free standing electric range. I always wiped the stove after use, however, I didn't realize the wall was getting spattered and have never wiped it.

Clue me in on the "widget" of which you speak.

A widget is a razor blade with a plastic handle. If it's a smooth surface, that'd probably be easier than a knife. If the wall is textured, probably not.
