Domestic Life

Thought I should publish since it's been a while. OK, here's the question: which chore do you hate the most? Me? Definitely dishes. I think it's only fair that if someone cooks, the other should do the dishes. I'm always cooking. It's like pulling teeth to get my domestic partner to wash a frickin' dish. He uses every pot, pan, glass, fork & spoon when we eat. Sometimes I feel like I've used every pot and pan in the house just to make hot dogs, but I think it's because my apartment is so small. Something I've noticed about when we eat: he doesn't use a napkin or drink any fluids during our meal and he'll finish one food item before eating another. The potatoes are usually the first to go. I had the best of intentions today to do some housework, but the day just slipped on by. OK, so what chore do you LIKE? I'll admit, I LOVE to vacuum. It must've been that toy in the pic I had as a kid. I never had an Easy Bake Oven though, so I can't explain my enjoyment of cooking. My mother never taught my sister or I how to cook. She used to always say, "I gotta teach you how so you can make this for your family one day." I didn't realize that all of those times I was standing around her feet as a child, that she was teaching me. She doesn't use any measuring devices, but there's plenty of tasting going on. I used to like to watch my mother cook, kind of like I used to like watching her put her make-up on. Maybe that explains my love affair with make-up? Ha!
