Why can't dust be good?

As I am feverishly cleaning my house so that my coworkers can come over tomorrow I'm wishing that dust was something people liked. I mean, why can't people come over and say, "Wow, all that dust on that fake tree looks so good! You must have been saving for years to get that much!"

I am by no means a hospitable person, but I'm trying to be. We're trying to have people come over so that way I'm forced to keep my house clean. It's kind of working... I can't wait until Bruce is big enough to do the dishes. That's why you have kids right? That's why my parents had us...to clean the kitchen! Just kidding...kind of! :-)
