Morning everyone, if things haven't changed at work today is my Friday. Thank goodness, it's been one of those weeks.

I'd rather spend my weekends relaxing with her, but that doesn't always work out that way. Hopefully this weekend I will, I haven't heard of anything that's "got to be taken care of ASAP".

Maybe this is why I'm pushing near 40 and still single, but if she's the one making the list of ASAP things and then getting mad when you lose track of your days..... wow. Just an assumption there, but empathy should go both ways.

She's slow, but didn't get it for ripping around one. Both front forks had leaking seals and she helped replace them. She's not to the point where she could do that stuff herself, and I don't think she wants to be really, but she helps. And she's hot.

If I came home to an "ASAP to do list" I would laugh and throw the list away.

Tried that, it was then duplicated, and spread out through the house.. now I find more then one copy..

jk

But you'll like this, just before surgery, I told Sheryl that we should figure out the "honey do list" now, so I can get it done. We head off to Lowes to look at some paint for the kitchen.. we can back with flooring.. Me and my big mouth..

D'OH! Well you offered.. She's lucky to have a man around who 1) is willing to do that sort of thing and 2) actually knows how.

Must be my rebellious side, but when someone "expects" me to do something or act a certain way, I immediately want to do the exact opposite.

if house work = work when do i get paid?
I hate doing **** around the house unless it involes something mechanical like digging holes with a skidsteer or backhoe, or mowing the lawn. if it involes cleaning or painting goodluck trying to get me to do it.
