This should be titled the Doomed Ice Fishing Weekend. I got up early in anticipation. It wasn't real cold so I was thinking, this will be a great day for it. About nine o'clock, I started to worry, he usually gets here early when we make plans. By ten, my hopes were dropping... At eleven, I picked up the phone. It rang twice, then he picks up and says, "Hello." I said, "What are you doing there? You're suppose to be HERE!" I got long silence and then a puzzled, "Huh?" Then it hit him, and he explained that a snowstorm was coming up the coast and they could get up to a foot so they decided to cancel. (I think it turned out that they got a few inches and we only got a dusting.) Anyway, we couldn't go without him because we didn't have an auger. So I cleaned the house.... when I get ticked about something I clean/ I think it made Hubby nervous, all that cleaning. On Sunday afternoon, he took me for a drive and bought an ice auger. So next time I have a weekend off and we plan a get together if they are a no show.... We'll be going without them. P.S. For those of you who are wondering why they didn't
call, he lost my number (again) The moral of the story is, "Don't rely on someone to bring the auger." :-)

Is that why my wife is cleaning (and recleaning what's clean) all of the time?

There are three types of women when it comes to cleaning, the compulsive cleaner who wears out the furniture and floors, the I like it nice but there's a limit girls (these are usually the upset me and I go on a cleaning binge types like me) and the I don't care what it looks like gals. My Dad always told me to try to stay in the middle when it comes to cleaning. He said too much cleaning makes a man nervous and too little disgusts them,
and that men are impressed by women who'll clean fish :-)

She is like you which means I'm in trouble most of the time! There was no cleaning yesterday since I got some work done around the house.
I no longer have any filet knives. I don't do a good enough job so the knives are now hers! Confiscated!!!
She also does the butchering around here (she doesn't want to pay the butcher for something she can do better). Two deer in the freezer from this year including three types of venison sausage.
I really am a lucky guy!
