Ta Da!

From Urban Dictionary:

ta da — Exclamation used on revealing a surprise or on completion of a hard task. Often accompanied with jazz hands pose.

I really need to do some cleaning… and I will… soon… probably around the time I can’t stand the mess anymore… yeah, soon…

And when I’m done, I’ll make some jazz hands and say, ta da! 🙂

“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” Kurt Vonnegut

“In my house every Sunday, everybody was cleaning the house. There was always music, and everybody was dancing, sometimes naked, around the house. Not hippie, but very free.” Penelope Cruz

“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.” Phyllis Diller
