Another beautiful day, another dinner on the grill. Bob helped me grill again tonight, however, I did way more prep work than last night. I cooked our side dish and set the table while Bob talked with his parents. I got the steak marinated this morning and made sure everything was set for Bob to grill - minimal effort on his part. I think that's OK... I can recall seeing lots of husbands on the old '50s sitcoms who grilled - it's a man's thing...makes him feel manly.
My appearance started off really well - got all dressed up go to to church. I wore nice slacks, a fancy blouse and a nice cardigan. However, it was a little cold and wet when we got home so I changed into jeans and a hooded sweatshirt to keep me warm. Bob and I spent the afternoon on the couch so wearing slacks would have been a little bit of overkill. I'm really failing at the appearance portion of the experiment. I'll try harder this coming week.
Speaking of this coming week, I will be tackling a Stepford Wife's typical daily activities. They're busy bees so this should be interesting. And I am supposed to look pretty while I do all of the activities - another opportunity to try perfect my appearance and make myself look more like the wife I am trying to be. Wish me luck!
Until tomorrow...
About Me
- Donna Cleaver
- Seattle, WA, United States
- I was a forward-thinking college graduate, raised on Oprah and Murphy Brown. Working outside the home was a right for which women before me had fought hard and I wasn’t about to let them down. After a long hard look at my life and the facts that were staring me in the face I realized that my way of doing things wasn’t working.I decided to try a whole new way…wait…old way, of doing things. I elected to try to live, at least for a time, as a typical old-fashioned housewife. I wanted to see what life would be like if I lived on the opposite side of the spectrum from what I’d always dreamed. I didn’t have much to lose, so why not?
