Little Housewife

Tuesday, July 26, 2005

This morning I rocking out to the new Fall Out Boy. My co-worker won't be in until later so I'm down in the basement by myself, giving me free reign to listen to the cd at what is probably an unacceptable volume for work. I'm drinking some coffee I brewed this morning with my new coffeemaker. It is the nicest coffeemaker. Seriously and it looks really cool. See:



I am also wearing my lobster socks. You're probably thinking, did she just say 'lobster socks'? Ah, yes I did! While in Maine Josh bought me the coolest pair of socks I own. They say "Bar Harbor, Maine" on them and have little red lobsters all over them. Did you know that lobsters are only red when they are dead? Maine is the only state to have a dead animal on their license plates. Hm...I guess that means my cute socks are covered with dead lobsters. Anyway, I'm trying to convince myself that I'll have a good day.

Last night after work I made spaghetti and garlic bread for Josh and I. I was standing at the stove cooking the hamburger, Bebo was at my feet, and Josh was sitting on the couch reading a magazine. Then it hit me: Oh my gosh, I'm a little housewife! It actually surprised me. I told Josh and he made his usual response with something like, "Cutest one I know". It was a little surreal though to be standing in this dream that I had had for so many years. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those girls who just daydreams about being barefoot and pregnant and serving her husband. Josh and I try to do pretty much everything equally. But honestly, I do like doing things for him...making him supper, surprising him with something... It's awesome that I'm finally in the position to be his "other half". We only answer to each other and that is amazing.

Gotta get back to my coffee. Here's to Tuesday.
