I like your style!

Do you mind if I print it out and put it on my fridge for all to see? It's my mindset too!!!

I put the dishes in the dishwasher when I good and ready. And I call my extra bedroom a walk-in closet with a bed.

I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning,
just not as it applies to me.

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction -
I get to the end and think ........
Well, that's not gonna happen!

I find it helps to categorize my chores:
Things I won't do now.
Things I won't do later.
Things I'll never do.

There should be support groups for women who can't put their dishes in the dishwasher dirty.

Maxine taught me this lifestyle and I thank her for it! :mrgreen:

We turned our dining room and living room into our sewing room back in October 2009, and have been enjoying it immensely. We wish we’d have done it years ago! When friends used to come by back when the sewing room was a spare bedroom, everyone would end up in the sewing room looking at the latest projects anyway, but in much more cramped space. The living room was hardly ever used. We now call our living room our “sewing room with a parlor and snack nook”.

I saw another post or two from folks that use their living room as a sewing room. How about starting another thread to see how many more have done it also?

My wife thinks that I’ve categorized my chores the same way....
