Why is it that when SHE writes down a "Honey-Do" list of things to be done, it had damn well better get done, or there's hell to pay.... while when YOU write down a "Honey-Do" list, it's "Yeah, sure, maybe... if I get around to it between eating Bon-bons and watching soap operas." ??
I got home this morning, after a long 48 hour shift in which we had several critical patients, one that died, and one that probably will. There on the table was a "Honey-Do" list. All I wanted to do was catch a few hours sleep (had two hours sleep last night, and four the night before,) take the dogs to the park for a game of "Master, go fetch!" and spend the afternoon reading my book, drinking a cold beer, and letting some Maynard Feurgeson play in the background.
But NO!
I have me a "Honey-Do" list.
Bunch of crap I tell ya.

Hehehe -- welcome to the world of committed relationships, bro. You'll get plenty of us to comiserate with you, but I'm not sure anyone is going to have an answer. I sure as hell don't. My lists just keep growing, and when they don't get done, then you get to see what a world-class nag the lil lady is. Mine has a black belt in nag-kindo.

i just got a kick of nag-kindo like right now.
i'm sitting here in my study drinking a cup off coffee with obviously huge piles of MY OWN to-do bs stacked around me....
so she comes up behind, and is all like 'since your leaving for colorado on friday, for two weeks, you have to get this stuff done before you go'
and she starts running off this whole list of things that are going be like absolutly impossable to accomplish in the limited timeframe, and then she runs down whats going on every day from now until i escape on friday.
'so tim, i don't know when your going to do all of this, probobly wendsday, but nooooo, wendsday you say you have to go over to steves house'
'yeah, i need to drop this stuff off at steves, what you think i'm just going to leave the pigs and ropes sitting in the hallway while i go climbing????'
'well???'
'well what???'
then she finallly leaves me alone so i can type this. lol

This morning, after partying and dancing to three am, I had to go buy some primer, cleaners, etc. Then go with her to the grocery store. Then I had to do some patching and primer the front porch. Getting it ready to paint. I'm glad we have to go to a childs birthday party this afternoon. Maybe I can get some rest. :lol:
But she is worth it. I don't know what I would be without her, prolly some drunken climbing bum or something.

Reno...the secret to a successful marriage is...DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD. PERIOD. I learned that almost 32 years ago. I know my place. Life is better that way.

This reminds me, Alex has to take me shopping. We need to do a Costco run. Toilet paper, enough chicken breasts to feed a platoon, and dog food, and more, all very important. I have been politely reminding him since Friday, though I understand it can be hard to hear me over the voice chat of his World of Warcraft guildmates.
I will politely remain fully clothed until he relents.

Yeah, I got that part figured out already. Made that determination the second day. :)
The other secret: Do what her Momma tells you, too. 'Specially with this one.

My folks like to drag Alex out shopping, then make him lift, assemble and install the heavy items.
We're not even married! But my mom can never have too many sons.

Hilary, I can now see what your problem is. Alex is a dork. Go give him a wedgie and toss his ass in the car. You got dog food that needs buying.

The wife gets breakfast in bed, every morning, workdays and weekends. And beer service at night. With a smile. Part of my recipe for a happy marriage. She has her own recipe as well. One that works just fine, for me.
But I ain't never seen no honeydo list, never. Thank God. I prefer to define my own input values, as much as possible. But there's nothing wrong with doing something for someone you love. Most of the other crap you can save till you're dead.
