Men and Women Relax, Hear, and See Differently

I’m looking so forward to this weekend! It will be great to have so much family time, but I am sure my husband and I will get on each other’s nerves. To prepare, I read about men’s brains.

Husband “Helps” With Chore (i.e., Makes More Difficult)

Oh, I just realized I accidentally lied. I have said numerous times that my husband literally doesn’t do one household chore. Actually, there is one chore-related type thing he does–he puts his clothes into the laundry basket rather than on the floor, on the bed, or in other places as I have heard that many [...]

Scientific Proof that Guys Create Work for Girls

Ladies, in case you haven’t seen this wonderful article, it shows that guys create 7 hours of housework for ladies a week. And you know it’s true because it’s in Science Daily. (This is not The Enquirer, my friends. This is real stuff that’s been studied.)

I by no means want to say that ladies MUST [...]

Proof That My Husband Is Psychic (or Mean)

There is a disturbingly uncanny phenomenon that happens in our home about once every 4-6 weeks. I clean the bathroom big-time about once each month. (YES, that’s rare. SORRY. But that isn’t the disturbing part.) I’m talking about the Ajax comes out, tub gets scrubbed, floor and baseboards–it all gets a major overhaul. It [...]

To Mow or Not to Mow? That Is My Question…

Well, looks like it’s that time again. The grass has grown completely out of control. I keep thinking my husband will mow it (as he promises to do it every weekend), but no. Well, what did I expect…I was the one who single-handedly layed out this grass in the form of sod, after all. By [...]

The Time Husband’s Junk Became Lethal

Does your guy LOVE to store tool-related things that he never uses? Mine sure does. Especially cords. All kinds of cords. Phone cords (including the curly ones that no one can use anymore because they don’t have phones with cords), orange cords, black cords, cords with colored knobs at the end, cords with heavy black [...]

Empty Containers In the Refrigerator, Why?

I was looking in the refrigerator to fix breakfast, and I found the container of salsa below. For added effect, the photo is upside down, as was the salsa container. (Must add–it’s NOT because my husband was drunk and eating salsa and chips. He was perfectly sober last night, and I found it this morning):

How to NOT Hang Up Your Clothes

Hi. Make me feel better about this. Every guy does this, right? You have hangers all over your house that look just like this, true?
In case these photographs seem perplexing (because they are), let me fully explain them. The first photo is a hanger. No, the hanger did not come like that. It was a [...]

Wouldn’t You Be Proud of This Shelf?

Sunday we invited my husband’s friends over–two couples. Both, like us, somewhat new to the Los Angeles area. I fixed a HUGE spread. No joke–8 dishes. Intricate foods. And it was all good. Even King Picky Himself (my husband) complimented the food 3 times. I couldn’t believe it. So–you see all the work I put [...]

Guest Photo: Boyfriend Takes Charge of the Garbage

Hi, I love this photo. It makes me feel better about my life. Sent from a nice girl in Washington, DC. Her boyfriend is “taking charge” of emptying the trash, and this photo proves it.

Does this photo make me feel good because my husband is good about emptying the garbage? Oh please. No. This photo [...]
