Joyful!? I intended for this part of the title to come off as ironic to those who know me well. I’m highly particular and resistant to change in most things. I switch my socks back and forth several times every single morning before I’m satisfied with their fit. As for the Housewife part, I’m hopeless, just hopeless when it comes to keeping house. So the tagline which follows the title is quite apt: Domestic Bliss, Eventually. I hope to live up to this manifesto as I post to this blog in the days ahead. I suffer from Chronic Disorganization Syndrome, so this should be interesting.
Well, here it is! My very own Joyful Jessie avatar.
Notice that my golden (dirty) blonde hair is swept back in a clip because I have dishes to do and it gets in my way.
Normally I’d be wearing an apron because the water from my kitchen faucet always drenches the front of me. I demonstrate my style by wearing stripes and the only tall boots I have ever owned, that are getting old – and I’m not quite sure if they are even in style anymore. I’d be wearing a knit scarf, but I never finish my knitting projects, so I’m wearing one I got as a hand-me-up from my little sister. I’m trying to look busy, but I’m not very organized. How does this datebook/planner work? What’s a list?
P.S. That is not actually my kitchen that I’m standing in. You can tell because,
- There are fresh flowers in a vase,
- The counters and floor are clean,
- Where are the dirty dishes?!
- I’ve never cooked a turkey before – and probably never will!
And now, the results of an interesting poll that I’d been wanting to post – until I lost the book it was in for a couple of weeks.
From The New Messies Manual, by Sandra Feltion:
How often do Americans change the sheets on their beds?
- Once a week – 52%
- Twice a week – 31%
- Once a month – 12%
- Less than once a month – 2%
I read this question to my husband to see what he’d guess, because he is the trivia king. I don’t want to tell you his guess, or our actual answer, because it’s like bearing a dirty little secret. Let’s just say we are not in the majority.
How often do you change your sheets?
