Someone sent me that link, or I happened on it, a year or two ago and I was similarly horrified. If I am working at home, or (as I am presently) NOT working, what on EARTH am I going to get up and do my hair and makeup for?!<br /><br />And, sorry, but I get ZERO pleasure or satisfaction from seeing my gleaming sink before me. Nope, just doesn't do it for me. Empty? Sure! I LOVE that. But scrubbed shiny clean? Eh, whatever!<br /><br />I felt like most of the inspirational-yet-dripping-with-sentimentality-ness of the messages within the site were just not my bag. Like those really annoying mass e-mails that contain pictures of kittens that you get from the admin friend at work. They make me want to stab my eyes out.

Maybe it's like "dressed to the nines" or "with bells on". Things that make no sense but apparently mean "dress up nice". While those have some kind of cultural reference, that no one knows anymore, I'm going to go all out and guess that she just made hers up. : ) I’m too lazy to google the meaning (or use the handy non-links in the comments here) – but I’ll take a guess.
