DH irons. I don't. He does a fantastic job. When I asked him where he learned, he said he did a search and found a website for trans women that really nailed the process in a way he could totally understand. I wish we still had it bookmarked because the blog was totally charming.

Owen told me today that he thinks he's asexual. I picked him up from basketball practice and we were talking about the boys on the team. The subject of girlfriends came up and I asked him if he liked a girl. "No," he said. I asked him if he liked a boy. "No. I think I'm asexual."

I paused and asked him what that meant. He said, "It means I don't have any romantic interest in boys or girls."

He hasn't hit puberty yet but I've been suspecting this for a while. Liv announced her first boyfriend in the second grade. She loves boys.

I think our iron is only used to pop dents out of wood.

I will clean bathrooms

I will not vacuum - so there is only one rug in the house.

And if some one would hang up my clothes -- I'll put the rest away...

so I will do dishes, sweep floors, feed the cats, do the laundry, grocery shop , cook sometimes,

not crazy about cleaning the liter box

dusting I sometimes do because you should...

someone else can change the bed . or at least help

Love this.

I loath housework of every kind.

Ouch. Right there with you.

I hate scooping litter boxes, but I don't mind dumping and refilling. I confess to only disinfecting them when it is warm enough to have the garden hose hooked up because I hose the NAST away then spray with bleach based cleaner, then dry in the sun. There are a ton of things I don't mind doing elsewhere that seem like pure drudgery at my own home. I don't mind cleaning bathrooms, for one.

One task I love is opening the windows on the first warm day of spring, and going after all the woodwork with Murphy's Oil Soap.

I can wash a small car with two buckets of water.

I don't mind mowing the lawn if I can use a lightweight electric mower.

I hate putting my own laundry away, but I don't mind putting someone else's on hangers (I'm willing to fold but you may not like the results because I don't have the ability to be detail-oriented with matching seams up).

I like yard work. I haven't been able to do much this year, and I miss it.

I think I like vacuuming because I can see the physical results, even if they are horrifying. I can dump out that little cannister and say "oh merciful Zeus. 5 minutes ago all that crap was in my rug. And now it's not."

Owen is the most self-aware and coolest dude around,

Owen is not alone, if that is the case. It took me considerably longer to realize it.

We'll see for sure when the testosterone kicks in but I want him to be comfortable no matter what. He does seem so. I just want to keep it that way.
