Wow, I got nothing accomplished...

[jethrien]

Had a list of stuff to do over the three day weekend. Did none of it.

Well, that's not totally true. We did a bunch of chores. We went bowling. I bought socks and restocked the liquor cabinet.

But that was about it. Instead of writing/planning the honeymoon/buying rings/making doctor's appointments/sewing/responding to letters/mailing stuff/doing taxes/organizing finacial stuff or any of the dozen other things I meant to do, I read, slept, and watched some movies. And slept some more.

Zzzz.

You did make an attempt to figure out the workings of the sewing machine. That counts. And I thought you did organize some of your financial stuff while I was doing laundry/cleaning bathrooms.

Wow, if you replace "read" with "shopped," yours and my weekend were basically the same!

Ha. Her father taught her well. You THOUGHT she was doing financial stuff while you cleaned the bathrooms and did laundry. Story of my life.

On the other hand, sounds like a productive weekend if it resulted in rest and reading. Save all the frantic planning for two day weekends that are less like a mini-vacation. (By the way, I'm glad I didn't buy those socks I was looking at for you. But I did get some face cream that I'll send along at some point.)

Some of it. Still have some work paperwork to go through.

Three pairs of socks for $2.31! Some kind of weird sale thing.

Shopping was last weekend.

Yay for the weird sale. I was at Strawbridges where the "sale" socks were 3 for $15. Still a good price, but there was too much nylon content, and I didn't want to give you sweaty feet.

Wow. Chuck does the laundry and cleans bathrooms! You got a good one, Rebecca. :) We have a tiny bit of the traditional-role-reversal thing going on (I do all the fixing/installing and most of the financials) but not really (I also do most of the cleaning/cooking, grr).

We each do our own financials, but he does a lot of consulting on mine. He does the laundry and bathrooms because he kind of likes it, and I do mopping and the kitchen cleaning because I kind of like those. I also do the ironing, which I don't like, but don't hate with the undying passion he does. We both cook, but he tends to do more of the cooking and food shopping because he usually gets home at least an hour or two before me. I do the majority of the dishes. I do aesthetic stuff. Other stuff - fixing things, assembling things, trash, vacuuming, etc. - is by a case-by-case basis.

Yes, I got a good one. His mother did an excellent job of training him. We fully intend to make sure that all of our children, regardless of gender, leave the house knowing how to cook, repair clothing, balance a checkbook, and clean anything.

Yeah, I clean the bathrooms, vacuum, do the laundry, do most of the cooking and food shopping, and handle most of "our" financial stuff. She irons, mops, does most of the dishes, and is in charge of all things aestetic. And if she didn't make the bed in the morning, it wouldn't get done.

We're all anal about our own special things, sweetie.
