Marriage is Work

When I was a single guy, I was given to understand that once you got married, your weekend would be taken over by the dreaded “Honey do” list. Fix this, clean that, go to the store for X, Y, and Z, fix this other thing… Sounded pretty scary!

Well, fast forward to today. This Saturday’s Honey Do list consists of the following:

  • take out trash and recycle
  • fold and put away clothes

I get the feeling Sarah isn’t bringing her A Game.

Update: After seeing this post, Sarah added “Dishes” to the list. That’ll learn me!

    Communicating via blog? You and Sarah are already turning into an old married couple–the Nielsen Haydens.

  2. Any time you view your list of household chores as something you’re doing for your spouse instead of for the household, you’ve got an error in your logic.

    But then, my wife mows the lawn and I do the dishes and laundry.

  3. Well, FWIW, I definitely am doing the “plan wedding” and “get job” bits for my own benefit, as well. There will be cake. Oh, will there ever be cake.

    Talked with Elizabeth Falkner on Saturday, while visiting Orson to talk with her private-events manager — we’re considering doing the whole shebang there (which would make coordinating cake delivery trivial *g*).

  4. >> But who’s our Jim MacDonald?

    The natural candidate would be Sarah’s godfather, if she has one who’s also a writer of lapidary prose and the owner of an unnaturally high Charisma stat.
