The Beast and I both did laundry today. I love it that he has taken on the responsibility for his own clothes. He's found out what a pain in the ass his undies can be because he's so careless.....you know what I mean if you have a man in your life. But he also takes his good clothes to the cleaners every week or so and he lets them do his good shirts, too. I still do all the folding of clothes that we wash here but that's not a big deal. It's not like there's a bunch of people in the house....LOL!
He finally has a clue just how much work I was doing when I was working and taking care of a household, which included four kids. I did everything....shopping, cooking, washing clothes, folding clothes...it was NOT fun. I wish I had a quarter of the energy I had back then. I think that's why God planned that we have our kids when we are young. It's the only way you can live thru it all!
I felt really great for a change. I even made dinner for us. Boneless pork chops (courtesy of Omaha Steaks and my friend, Carol) that were incredible. I also nuked us a couple potatoes that we had with butter and sour cream plus some..sigh...canned corn. But there's no such thing as fresh corn these days...LOL. It all tasted sooooooo good tho'.
The Beast made some interesting cookies today. It was from a package...Betty Crocker, I think. They were called Salty Caramel cookies and, surprise!, they were really good. Very different. He added some chopped walnuts to half the batter and I liked both. He wants to make peanut butter cookies (he's made them before) but said he needs to get some more nuts. I told him to just use the chunky peanut butter he has. We don't use much of that and there's probably enough in it for a batch. He looked like he'd walked into a wall. The idea never occurred to him. Men! Honestly, they just don't THINK at times.
He bought an apple pie at Publix and I almost choked when I saw how much it cost. But, once I had a slice, I realized it was worth every penny. I knew he actually had paid for how much it weighed. Really. But, WOW! It was loaded with apples and was delicious. He said it wasn't even the most expensive one they had there. So a few of the pies had even MORE apples in them. Yum!
It's late and I need to get to bed. I didn't get much sleep last night because my ankles were killing me. I did too much walking after being prone for a couple days. It's a real bitch being an old person....even if I am NOT old in my head. My body keeps telling me differently. Oh well!
Mustachio is moving tomorrow and I am hoping it goes smoothly for him. He has his *muscle* lined up to help move everything so it should go well. I hope so since he said he might come down on Thursday for a couple days. He really wants to see Sheepie, Teach, Chewlee, the Princess and Gunner but I can pretend he's coming to see ME. **Grin**
Love you all. Stay warm, dry and please drive carefully. The life you save may be your own! ***Hugs***
