I'm a professional woman in my 30s who's spent the last 13 years working in TV news. I love shoes, shopping and blogging. I also have an advice column. In the name of full disclosure I have to admit I don’t have a background in psychology, unless you count that one college course freshman year ...

The "Honey-do" list

For the most part, I'm content being single. There are times, though, I wish there was someone to share with. And I'm not just talking about sharing the good times and the bad or my deepest darkest secrets. I'm talking about sharing the chores! It's no fun to make a "Honey-do" list for myself!

This week was so crazy most of the chores did not get done.  The dry cleaning never got picked up/dropped off, laundry still needs to be put away, the sheets still need to be washed and the dishes are sitting in the sink mocking me.  Embarrassingly enough, one of my friends came over last night before dinner.  I can't believe I allowed her to not only come in my disorganized mess, but I actually allowed her to see my bedroom.  Something I never do when it's in this state.  I usually keep the door closed and my closest friends know that's where I shuffle the piles when I'm having a party.  (Heck it's a party trick I learned from my mother!  Why mess with it?)

Guess what?  Next weekend I'm having people for a little pre-party for the FlugTag.  It's very clear to me there won't be any time during the week to clean, so it must happen this weekend.  And in my opinion, it's not a fun way to spend a weekend.  I hate cleaning!  Who does?

So this brings me to the fact that being single I have no one else to ask to help with the chores.  Several of my married friends have recently complained their husbands don't help without being asked.  I guess I'm not the most sympathetic when it comes to this cause.  Heck if he still does it, what's it matter if you have to remind him?  I've never been married and can't even begin to ask someone else to help me with the dishes or go grocery shopping. Imagine if on my next date I ask a guy if he'd mind folding my laundry or taking out the trash?  Wait maybe I'm on to something....


Stylishly yours,
