Thoughts on the Day

  • Irish Woman and Girlie Bear went out to get their hair done did, so I took the opportunity to get some housework done.
    • Swept, scrubbed, and waxed the hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, and hallway.
    • Laundry
    • Started dinner.
  • Apparently nothing is scarier to a grown woman than having another woman working her head over with scissors, who suddenly turns to her co-worker and says “I don’t know how to do this.”
  • Dinner tonight was a pork loin cooked with sauerkraut in a crock pot, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed peas.
    • I’m ashamed to say that only Girlie Bear and I ate the sauerkraut, and she only ate it because I reminded her that kraut makes an excellent breakfast food if she didn’t want to eat it at dinner.
  • Our after dinner activity was to give both dogs emergency baths because they came in from the yard as chocolate labs.  Unfortunately, one of them is silverish-black and the other is yellow.
  •  You know, I realized I had truly become domesticated today when I got excited about the new shower head that Irish Woman brought home.
    • Of course, the fact that I did housework and cooking rather than play video games and take a nap when she went out to get a haircut might have been a clue as well.

    Yeah, my Australian shepherd has come in from the new yard (that doesn’t have any grass yet) as a chocolate lab a couple times…

    Soooooo, Irish Woman took your ‘Man Card’ with her when she went out?

    LOL, don’t worry, Mrs. Aewl does the same thing, so you are in good company.

      Nope, it was all totally voluntary. We’d both been remarking on how the floors needed a deep cleaning with all the salt and schmutz that gets tracked in. I just took the opportunity.

        Hehe, that’s what I always say too, “It’s voluntary!”

        Regardless, kudos to you. Good way to earn brownie points with the wife.
