Welcome to the Stepford Experiment!

Follow along as I learn to go from being on the fast-track in Corporate America to living my life as a typical "old-fashioned" housewife.

Week 2 - Day 6

Alright, so I'm back at it after two days of migraine. Glad to be back amongst the living!

I was wondering if Stepford Wives have to be dressy on the weekends... I thought the idea behind wearing dress clothes was because housework is my job and I would normally dress up to go to work. On the weekends, no one dresses up. Am I allowed to at least wear jeans? I think I'm going to wear jeans but still wear dressy tops. Does that sound fair? However, during the week, it's back to dresses, skirts and slacks. I think that's reasonable, isn't it? Maybe I'm cheating...

I'm still not sure how to conduct myself on the weekends...there's no need for a welcome home/dinner routine since Bob is home all day. This is going to take some practice. Today, though, I'm going to decorate the house for Easter and then run whatever errands Bob wants me to run.

Darn it! I just realized I left the house without doing my hair or makeup today!!! Bob and I took the dog for a walk first thing this morning. I doubt Bob would have wanted to wait for me to apply makeup and style my hair anyway, but I still broke the rules. Ugh! This appearance thing is a lot harder than I thought it'd be. I think I'm going to need the most discipline in this area - which is funny considering I thought the appearance part of the experiment would be the easiest for me. It's amazing the things I'm learning about myself. :-)

See you later for my post on dinner - turkey burgers and rosemary/olive oil French fries. Hooray!
