Day Nineteen

Tonight I made dinner.

This is a once a year event. I was bored, and craving this very specific dish I used to find in the Trader Joe's Freezer Section, so decided to take out a cook book, cross reference with some online recipes...and cook.

It wasn't that great. J. said it was good for being the first time I attempted such a thing. That said, I ended up picking the food he didn't eat off his plate. I will eat anything I guess. It is slightly comforting to know that if I was single, I wouldn't a)starve or b)eat only microwavable dinners.

Anyway, so I cleaned up after myself today. I cleaned the dishes we ate off of, the dishes I used to cook, etc. This is one of the things I have been noticing about myself in the last few weeks. I have become much more conscious of picking up and cleaning up after myself. Honestly, the house is more or less tidy each day, that there is not a lot of straightening up to do. Right now I think there is more 'deep cleaning' that needs to be done, but I have been very consistent with the day to day straightening. And, what do you know? The house is generally cleaner! Shocking!

Maybe this is what it is like to be a grown up.
