The Concept of "Work"


Living with three people makes things easier.  It allows for things to be spread out and almost always solves the issue of one person doing all of the work.  This is easily accomplished by way of a chore chart.  So what did The Queen and I sit down and do one night?  A chore chart!

Now, since out of the three of us I was home the most often, I was doing most of the house work.  Not that I mind, they do fill my gas tank when I've been driving them around a lot and pitch in with groceries, so I consider this work part of "earning my keep".  They did not see it as such, and so the chore chart happened.

Oddly enough, it is working out pretty well.  It does seem to come with a period of adjustment where we remember that we have something to do today.  But it is a good idea, since no one likes to be stuck doing all of the work.

A word of caution to this: not everyone does the same chore in the same way.  Come to find out that all of the silverware must be sorted by their type even in the dishwasher.  Even the plates by their size!  Make sure that everyone is on the same page for how the chores are defined, otherwise things may never get done. Just fair warning.

Proof of the Inner White Girl

I have been living in California for most of my life.  I know there are stereotypes about women from California (thanks a lot Katy Perry), but they all have a small shred of truth to them. That being said, here is my personal list of things I have caught myself or my friends doing. 1. When you budget for the influx of Pumpkin Spice goods. 2. You use Vanilla Spice creamer in your coffee and then dip your Limited Edition Dunkin Doughnuts Vanilla Spice Pop-tarts into it. (Sad to admit, this one is on me.) 3. You panic when you can't find your favorite eyeliner. (We've all had this one, right?) 4. You "can't even" when your Instagram account freezes. 5. You lose your mind over the newest color from your favorite makeup brand and you just have to get it. (Thank you Wet n' Wild.) 6. Fall starts when Starbucks releases Pumpkin Spice. 7. Your day is ruined when Starbucks isn't available. 8. You wish your GPS would just say "Turn right a...

"Changes" - Coming Soon to a Life Near You!

Changes: they happen.  And they can suck.  A famous few include puberty (everything is changing), the seasons (unless you are here in California), and the political climate (which I will NOT be getting into).  My point is that they exist and, like it or not, they help make the world go round. I have been on a hiatus from blogging (and most of the things I enjoy) for the last few months because of this driving force - though if change were to ever have a drivers licence it would get that licence revoked so fast for speed infringements alone.  By last few months I mean since January.  So almost 7 months?  Change has recently dictated my daily life.  So here is a quick rundown of what's been going on. 1. The title of this blog has changed to reflect the main change... That could be phrased a lot better... But you get the point.  The trio has met it's end.  It's been a good year and some change (see that pun there?), but the boyfriend and I ...

Perks of Living with a Drag Queen

Now just as a note, these are perks I've noted about my queen. They may not be able to be applied to all queens. 1. You always have someone to ask when it comes to your outfit and makeup. 2. "Girl Talk" is a thing, and they are open to it. 3. Your skills of quick wit won't get dulled down. 4. The level of bitch that you can handle will increase. 5. You might be able to borrow some clothes. 6. Thrifting is a whole new adventure. 7. Finally, someone else who understands the pains of wearing a bra! The only downside: That bitch will abscond with your perfume.
