Noble's Lessons Learned from being a Geo-Bachelor for 1.5 weeks: Day 5
Noble's Lessons Learned from being a Geo-Bachelor for 1.5 weeks: Day 5
1. Sucks not having my wife & kid around.
2. It's very quiet around the house.
3. Kathy does a boat load of laundry.
4. I've done a load a day & it's just me.
5. I make a race out of folding the clothes, so that I can knock it out & plus b/c I feel a little less manly folding the clothes, so I wanna get it done as quickly as possible.
6. My bachelor diet consists of chips & salsa, protein shakes & green smoothies.
7. I like walking around the house naked.
8. I feel less encumbered w/out my ropas.
9. Sitting down w/out ropas is a little awkward...& chilly.
10. No this isn't racist, but colored laundry requires cold water to wash it. I love colored laundry.
11. White laundry requires warm water. It's kind of boring doing white laundry.
12. Again, I time myself doing laundry so I can make it more of a challenge & pretend that it makes it a little more manly while doing it.
13. Folding laundry while watching a manly action movie w/lots of shooting, guns, explosions & fighting makes the laundry-folding go by quicker & makes it feel a little more manly. And if it's like a really good manly action flick, it's almost like you're not even folding the clothes.
14. It seems like someone needs to invent a washer-dryer-in-one combo. Someone should be smart enough to come up w/that.
15. It's just inefficient taking the clothes out of the washer & putting them in the dryer...socks & underwear typically fall on the floor during the transition. It seems like they would want a smoother transition by not having to leave the washer at all.
16. Don't go shopping when you're hungry AND you have no shopping list or game plan.
17. Having no shopping list or game plan makes for a very inefficient and expensive trip to the grocery store.
18. At least take a basket or shopping cart along with you in the grocery store--especially if you're hungry & didn't go w/a shopping list. If you don't take a basket or cart and your arms are already full by the 3rd aisle, you're screwed.
19. It's very awkward walking through a grocery store carrying a shopping cart's load of stuff in your arms...and then trying to open the glass doors in the refrigeration section.
20. It's almost like ice cream can do mental telepathy through the glass doors in the refrigeration section directly to your belly.
21. In that case it would be belly telepathy.
22. I'm familiar w/almost every aisle and just about everything looks good when you're hungry & my willpower isn't very strong...at least 4 or 5 things may have jumped into my arms that didn't have a high protein or vegetable content.
23. Due to the above lesson learned, I will pay dearly on my next PT (physical training) session.
24. I've got an amazing wife.
25. I've got amazing friends.
26. Tonight, when my kid said in her soft 4-yr old whimper over the phone..."I miss you, Papi." I just about lost it. My eyes nearly sweated very manly tears.
27. I like talking to my wife on the phone, but would rather talk in person. She has very hot eyes & a killer smile.
28. I re-use a lot of the same dishes so I don't have to do a lot of dish washer loads.
29. I'm a ninja at just rinsing the salsa out of the dish so I can re-use the bowl quickly.
30. Bananas get brown fairly quickly.
31. Putting bananas in the fridge slows down the aging process. Helpful tip.
32. Wonder if it works on people.
33. The bed isn't as cozy at night.
34. Oh, the mail tends to fill up the mailbox quickly during the Christmas season if you don't check it everyday.
35. Companies spend a lot of money on junk mail...still.
36. Junk mail is still annoying.
37. I can hear the clock tick-tock in our house. Never noticed it before. Audible reminder that time keeps ticking off my life whether I'm consciously aware of it or not.
38. I can keep the bathroom door open all the time.
39. The bathroom mirror doesn't fog up w/the door open while taking a shower.
40. Cleaning up little by little is a lot better than cleaning up mountains of krap all at once.
41. I have a lot of time to think.
42. I like thinking.
43. There are a lot of thoughts you can ponder in total silence.
44. I love & appreciate my family & friends.
45. I value that which I used to take for granted.
46. There's a lot of stuff that goes into running a home.
47. Neighborhood house alarms are annoying at 4am.
48. Dogs dig cops & firetrucks.
49. Dogs howling at cops & firetrucks are also annoying at 4am.
50. How often do I have intentional think time?
51. If you sleep under an airvent in your house, you'll wake up w/a very, very dry mouth--like you've just walked across the Sahara desert or just finished eating 11 Saltine crackers.
52. I love going to bed w/my blue girl in the winter. (it's my favorite blanket). No, I'm not quite as bad as Linus...but I do have a favorite blanket...and her name is Blue Girl...b/c she's blue & cozy.
53. If you don't do the laundry in a timely manner, it will put off a very un-Christmaslike aroma.
54. Trying to figure out what clothes to wear & what shirt matches what pants is stressful if you don't know the rules of matching.
55. I still don't know the rules of matching & I am married to a fashionista.
56. My fashion isn't necessarily the fashion that matches the rest of today's society.
57. If I just hang up my already worn shirts for a day or two, it sorta feels like it's clean & ok to wear again.
58. The above comment applies to pants as well...and socks.
59. Smell-good (cologne) does a pretty good job of masking the 2-day old already-worn shirt smell...or at least that's what I tell myself.
60. I'm bigger & stronger than most people that might have the stones to tell me I stink & smell like 2-day old already worn clothes.
61. My anal melancholy friends reading some of the above comments may need an oxygen mask to be resuscitated after reading the violation of so many anal melancholy rules.
