Do you have your sponges?

Today I finally broke down and replaced the old stinky sponge I was using to wash my dishes.  I know it was way overdue, but the past couple of weeks I was just too lazy to bend over and retrieve a new one from beneath my sink.  Ahhh!  The new one is so firm and fresh.  What joy!  I tell you this as a reminder to think about your sponges.  You wouldn’t want to have to use the same sponge for a whole year!  I’m not sure if there is an official recommendation for replacing sponges, but I remember on Oprah once somebody said to replace it ever 1-2 weeks.  That seems reasonable to me.  So, do you have 26 sponges?  But no need to hurry out and get them now.  Wait until they come on sale.
