funny little side-effect of working on the maid portraits: my tremendous aversion to housework has been horribly amplified. it's a bit embarrassing to admit, but i'm actually having a pretty tough time remembering when i actually did the dishes... i mean other than merely washing the ONE dish i'm getting ready to use. GROSS! yes, seems i am a dude in my own right. a bachelor who just so happens to be female. which sort of makes our humble little home a big-ass bachelor pad of sorts. i mean, my sweetie is legitimately a man and i've always, to one extent or another, exhibited traditionally (or stereotypically) "male" tendencies or characteristics- the aversion to cleaning being one of the more funny ones. so after i noticed this, i realized that, historically at least, painting is a traditionally male pursuit. my sweetheart is a mechanic- another traditionally masculine profession. throw in the fact that neither one of us seem to think it's our responsibility to do the laundry or the dishes after a long, hard day at work... the fact that we're both kinda, sorta pig-headed... and we'd rather watch MMA or "Deadliest Catch" rather than beautify our surroundings... we've got a totally typical dude-house here. ha!
i'll be taking a break from painting early today to do ALL the dishes. :)
