What Do You Get When You Fall In Love?

Oh, you've all heard the song. What does she say? Pain and Sorrow. Chains that bind you? What a crock.

I think when you fall in love, you get to clean the garage.

Okay, so maybe you get someone to snuggle with at night. Maybe that person is even a good snuggler. Maybe you get 'treats' and all that lovey dovey stuff. Trust me, I have gotten it all.

BUT...I have also cleaned the garage.

You have all heard we just moved to a new state. A lot of stuff was piled in the garage. The RGH has been saying he wants to get some shelves or cabinets to put his stuff in. But the RGH cannot make up his mind which to get. So that means he can't unpack or sort the garage because....wait for it....

WHERE will he put everything?

Well, if it stays the way things have been, he will put it in my studio which is where everything else that has no place has gone.

So, since I am in love with the big lug, I go out and start working on the garage.

You realise men are just little kids in big bodies. Like little kids who are told to clean their room, they just stand there, staring at all their stuff like they have never seen it before. Men do this when a chore is upon them. Once you get them going, they will participate. However, they seem to disappear quite often, returning with a soda, Popsicle or a handful of Cheezits.

So they can CLAIM they helped but how much did they really DO? And you cannot prove a thing. It's all well choreographed.

As I am stacking the last box into a corner, the RGH enters the now orderly garage and says, 'Wow, that was perfect timing.'

What do you get when you clean the garage?

I am hoping for Chinese food.

Blessings,
