My roommate brought a girl home tonight, and she's making the bed.
We just moved in, and he hadn't assembled his bed yet. Literally. Mattress against the wall, etc. She came in, threw the mattress on the floor, and is making the bed. She's even putting the comforter cover onto the comforter.

Classic humor.

1. you're not taking a pic of her ass too?
You and your wagers. ;-)

Glad you're home safe, and it sounds like everyone had the best time.

2. She's a keeper, that's for sure
Tell her your car seems to be knocking, too. Maybe she can fix that. :-)

7. I was thinking that too.
I've had girlfriends who would tell you to shove it for even bringing up cooking dinner.

4. That is funny.
Whenever my girlfriend comes over, the stuff that I've left laying around is mysteriously back in its place by the time she leaves. Bed is made, dishes are done, toilet paper is back on the holder, and so on. In her case, I think it's a Japanese thing.

8. No, it's not that!
A Japanese thing, that is.

My partner isn't that neat. :-) Though probably most Japanese actually are neat.

But I will say that, while my partner isn't big on eliminating clutter or making the bed, etc., she's out of control about cleaning supplies and rag indivudation (that is, one rag for kitchen floor, one rag for kitchen counter, one rag for dishes, one rag for non-kitchen non-bathroom stuff, yada yada yada) and cleanliness (shoes for the bathroom, no stepping on tile, clean the tub before bathing, one sponge for sink, one sponge for toilet, one sponge for tub). Is yours that way?

Mine's Japanese as well, by the way.

11. Yeah
She hates it when I do things like using the hand towels to dry dishes. I don't think she's too fond of my wearing shoes indoors either. The scary part is it's rubbing off on me. I am now the proud owner of 8 pairs of shoes, including two exclusively for inside the apartment.

Is your partner also nuts about the recycling? That's a really big thing here. I literally have to separate my garbage into about 9 different categories (burnable, non-burnable/non-recyclable, recyclable plastic wrappers, bottles by color, cans, etc,.) with a separate bag for each.

16. heh heh -
No, I'm the recycler nut, but she also is real big on recycling and environmentalism. In NYC, though, we only have to separate as paper, glass, plastic, and metal. And soon it will likely go to just paper in one bin, and plastic/metal/glass together, to make things easier for everyone.

No shoes in the house doesn't bother me, I prefer the heck out of it, and that's how I grew up as well. I simply cannot wear shoes inside, even in other people's homes, and I've been like that all my life. When I moved to Hawaii, where it was normal, I felt such relief since no one was shocked any more by me taking my shoes off. Plus I hate shoes to begin with. I only wear socks inside - don't even like slippers or flip flops - or go barefoot. It means I go through a lot of socks, but I don't mind.

My partner went balistic once when we had a house guest and she accidentally got a bunch of water on the floor so sopped it up with her bath towel after she dried herself. Partner was ready to burn that towel because it had touched the bathroom floor... she was really upset and livid. I think even beyond standard Japanese upsetness, almost psychotic I thought.

15. True, but squeaky mattresses and
the human throat can make up for that!:evilgrin:

Not that I've had the chance to experience that myself for quite a long time, SIGH.
