It does make one's hands dryer for a while. Of course, I generally don't notice how dry my hands are until my knuckles start bleeding (which happens fairly rarely, especially since we moved away from the southwest).Joalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461081735941226493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35918057.post-1826164878185561482008-12-07T10:45:00.000-08:002008-12-07T10:45:00.000-08:00Vanessa, I was thinking the same thing about the lotion. Ha, I think that is the worst part of doing the dishes-dry hands. Cleaning for me too is an escape. When I get angry I clean.Carrithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15673111433631447746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35918057.post-80273082014550208442008-12-03T22:15:00.000-08:002008-12-03T22:15:00.000-08:00just reading this makes me want some lotion.

I still don't feel driven to do it and am generally a sloppy person, but there is a sort of Zen-like aspect to cleaning.Joalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461081735941226493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35918057.post-40078884927388249722008-12-01T22:31:00.000-08:002008-12-01T22:31:00.000-08:00the secret of why I clean is that it is an escape, a time to think. something about movement without thinking. kind of like pedaling a bike.lazyeyehttp://www.heylucy.typepad.com/lazyeyenoreply@blogger.com
