I often catch myself with poor housekeeping ergonomics, i.e., hunching over a sink or counter (particularly when cleaning) when I really don't need to. I sometimes think it reflects my general attitude towards such chores.

Hello, you! I wish you were our houseguests tonight. Especially since you would arrive at the time you had specified, not 3-4 hours later due to not being able to get out of the house in a timely fashion and forgetting there might be traffic leaving DC the afternoon before Thanksgiving.

I LOVE the pictures. Did I say that? My mother was like, whose baby is it, yours or hers??

Only 1 entry for Mr. Flea? Surely he can sweep and launder and de-mold!

I was home from work, and he was working, so I drew the domesticity straw. He'll be the main turkey and potato wrangler, though!
