Lee was away one Thanksgiving, and my Thanksgiving dinner that year consisted of a large bag of Sour Cream & Onion potato chips and a bottle of chardonnay.![]()

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
Oh, how I miss that!! I wonder if I finally got my taxes done for the past two years, if I could use the refund to buy my RRSPs so that some of my new raise could go to a cleaning lady instead of all towards retirement.....hmmmmm....now *that* is motivation to get the taxes done !!
Thank you!
Hugs and butterflies,

The butterflies are within you.

I live on cold cereal and Pink Lady apples. Even though I never get a pizza just for me I will eat cold pizza.

I love this thread - see myself everywhere. When DH is out of town I often end up at the book store, then home eating takeout spaghetti & reading my new book...he doesn't like spaghetti and I love love love that tomato/salt/garlic/olive oil taste. Yum!
Hi, my name is milkbone, and I'm a bum.....LOL ...Yup, me too - I tend to cook for my kids sometimes as I sneak oreo's in the kitchen, I feel guilty but not that guility : ) My 8 year-old caught me once, he just smiled and looked at me, oreo-handed, and just said, "Mommm-mmmy" Oh, well.![]()
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I'm just messier .. longer..when he's not around. He is actually abit of a neat freak. ..which makes him more inclined to do cleaning more frequently. It probably all stems from his lifelong allergies to mold, dust, etc.
Otherwise my personal indulgences / junk desires, are no different when he's around.![]()
Uh... I'm the neat freak in the family, my partner's a mild slob. So when she's away I tidy up. Sick, I know. Cleaning the house makes me feel good. And no, I'm not coming over to your house!![]()
Foodwise, anything that goes with a red sauce & garlic. I like a little pasta with my red sauce. I'm always so disappointed when they smear on a little sauce and think they're done. Nuh uh! Swimming in it, please.
Popcorn makes a perfectly suitable dinner.
What is cleaning? I think I may have done this once, a very long time ago.
So, 3.5 rooms straightened, trash out, recycle paper out, dishwasher half full&smelly (too much detail, you did not want to know that) - I'm having myself a beer.
Let him come home Saturday. I'm ready.
yeah cleaning, I've outsourced that. but this monday was a holiday so she did not come.
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Same here!
Now, how many self-proclaiming bums are proclaiming their untidiness... but it's compared to neatness?
I have just moved back into my house and it occurred to me that right now ... it's clean enough to have other people come in!! (Well, except that the first thing I did was bring three bikes into the living room BECAUSE I COULD.)
