I just tried to help Hubby with the dishes. Since I do the working, he does the house as much as he can. He told me I was doing it wrong--and he was right--and while he did appreciate the attempt to help, he'd rather do it himself. Which is a relief, because I hate doing dishes, but, gosh, I should be able to do dishes.
Oh, the problems of the modern geek woman.
Seanie - can you hop on IM?
So, in Who needs enemies when you have friends like that? news....
Went to have lunch with a "friend" the other day. We aren't particularly close as she has, in the past, been a total hoor to me. Things were mended and whatever.
So there I am, having lunch with her - that *I* bought and grought with me, even though she invited me - and I noticed our Christmas card on the wall. I said, "Hey! There we are!" She replied, "Yep! I thought that was such a neat picture." "Why?", I asked, thinking stupidly that it was the novelty of the palm trees and such. She said, and I quote,
"I thought it was neat how you posed yourself so noone could tell if you hadn't lost your baby weight. You can't see your hips, your belly or anything!"
I about choked on my salad.
FTR - this [link] was the picture.
Ye gods, Aims, what a sow!
eta: By which I mean her, obviously, not you. It may be a wee bit premature to move her back onto the complete hoor board, but she's definitely on notice.
I give all my sick to your "friend"
"Well, I think it's neat how you're so completely transparent."
I politely told her that I was good at disguising my "problem" areas, but that I am, in fact, 15 lbs down from my pre-pregnancy weight.
Then again, this is the same person who, a year after my wedding said, "I'm glad you put that weight you lost back on."
You've met her, too. You know just how special she is.
