Housewife

It's another "work" day for me. No I didn't get a "real" job, but my house-wife duties continue to grow! I'm washing the kitchen floor today and doing laundry, (I have concluded that laundry is endless) and I'm sure there are more jobs waiting - I just can't get past doing the kitchen floor right now! Who knew that being a housewife was going to be so consuming?

Yesterday was spent being lazy. My GF made a great dinner and I watched football for most of the day. Browns win! Steelers lose! Good day.

We have our house decorated for Christmas. I love a Christmas tree, I don't particularly like hauling everything from upstairs and I hate taking everything down and hauling it all back upstairs. But I like getting out the ornaments every year. We have some ornaments from my grandparents tree, some from GF's past, and alot of new ones that we have accumulated. Something about them make me feel good, it's kind of like the past and the present together mixed with family, friends and.......I don't know exactly what I'm trying to put into words, just that I get a good feeling when I take out each ornament and put them on the tree. It makes all those damn steps worthwhile!

We're having friends over for a lunch/Christmas gathering this coming weekend. We haven't entertained much in the last few years, so I'm a bit out of practice. I'm looking forward to it though. Now that I'm not employed, I find that I'm much more willing to be around people and am actually wanting to be more social! That is a change for me, I tend to be hermit-like and it takes alot of effort to socialize. Not that I'm an asshole or anything around people, it's just that I'm more comfortable having a day like yesterday - staying at home with my GF, eating and watching football!

My kitchen floor is probably dry by now........gotta go before I run out of steam....
