Chores and Rich People

You know one of the craziest things I’ve seen on HGTV yet is home theater furniture. Well, I guess they’re not “crazy,” but I never realized before that there are people out there wealthy enough to have a freakin’ theatre in their home. That’s just amazing. My idea of “rich” when I was growing up was going to my aunt’s house who had a pool table in her patio and a ping pong table in her garage. I thought, “Dang, that’s a life — two play tables in one house!” I thought that was the ceiling of “rich.” Boy, was I wrong. I wish I was that naive again. Heh. Nowadays, people have freakin’ theatres in their homes, a room specifically made for wrapping presents (is that Donald Trump? I don’t remember), and swimming pool rooms. Extravagance knows no boundaries. Leave it to humans to make things unnecessarily bigger, bigger, bigger.

I made up a home chore calendar chart yesterday for Dave and me. It just basically lists all the chores we have to do every week, and whoever does them gets to sign off on them so that we know it’s been done. This will help me because sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with house duties. I specifically hate to do laundry and vacuum. I want a robo vac so badly, it’s not even funny. We used to have one, but it was the first and oldest model when it first came out, and therefore it broke down after about a year and a half or two. We put some good mileage on that thing too. It was on practically everyday. I loved having a clean house with a clean floor everday when I come home from work. Now, we’re saving up for one for Christmas again. Those things are so darn cool. Have you seen them?

I better finish laundry and vacuuming today, so I can sign off on that paper. Heh.
