The Environment
On rainy chilly days like today I might not leave the house or spend five minutes out of this Tempur-Pedic bed, but it's all right because I did the dishes. Washing the grime off the glass ware gave me a feeling of accomplishment. The stacked plates, cups and pans drying on the rack proved that I did at least one thing today and I did it while consciously thinking of the environment. I used to let the hot water run over my hands as I scrubbed each dirty bowl until Amy's mother yelled at me for wasting water. Today I soaped up the dishes with a wet sponge before turning on the faucet for a quick rinse. This method did take some of the fun away, but I figured since I don't drive a Prius I needed to do my part.
Bizzaro World
Yesterday Klare and I went to an apartment in Park Slope to feed a mean cat, whose parents went to Boston for the Yankee / Red Sox Game (whomever thought of wearing the blond masks to taunt A Rod about his liaison with a blond stripper is a genius even if he/she is a Sox fan). The second floor of this brownstone was immaculate. There was no clutter. Books, photos and assorted knickknacks were displayed on the best Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel and West Elm had to offer. The finance magazines were stacked on the left side of the coffee table for him while Home and Garden were fanned out on the right for her. Even the chocolate cupcake sat perfectly at attention inside a refrigerator that looked as though it had been styled for MTV cribs. As we both marveled at this catalog perfect apartment I wondered where they kept their clothes. There was only one dresser. The hall closet was filled with a wide selection of overcoats for each season, which meant that everything else they wore was in the smaller closet near the door. I opened it expecting some fancy California Closet but instead found the wardrobes of what could only belong to minimalists. See the picture I took with my phone! All of her stuff is on 7 hangars! Amazing. **Klare wouldn't let me look in the medicine cabinet.
