oh.. and I must say ~ a door-to-door salesman came today, rang the doorbell, I went to the door in my comfy flannel pj's (at 2:00 this afternoon), my hair on my head in a pony tail and my purple uggs ~ he asked if I was the "queen of the castle" and I said nope... I'm the maid.. ha ha ha ha!!

funny, but I remember my aunt in Germany telling that the house should be done and always be dressed nice looking good for your husband when he comes home. that was in 1972 LOL. When I first got married I thought of that one day and got dressed and all and found out when I do DH comes in and just ask where is he taking me to dinner? after 30 years together if I have my street clothes on when I don't wnat to cook it still works like a charm.

And it goes so much against the culture where I live. We take off our shoes at the door! Wearing shoes in the house is considered dirty and a 'no-no'. When I tell people that Americans wear shoes in the house, bedroom, etc. they cringe.

Times have really changed. We used to wear hats and gloves to church, and girls didn't wear jeans in those days!!! :lol:
This is for sure. If you watch an old gangster type movie, they are often dressed in suits!

I usually do try to get dressed, brush my teeth and hair and get the bed made up before I start sewing.. otherwise I may not get them done before dinner.. I hate having gungy teeth all day, so I do those things first..

I didn't know it was a rule though. Good thing most of us didn't live in the 1900's, we'd all be in the pokey for one infraction or another no doubt!!

You forgot to mention cooking (browning) onions to make him think you've been in the kitchen all day!! :lol: :lol:
The 'Pledge in the air' really got me to howling! :-D :D :D

If my husband popped in he'd think I was having an affair!
