| How to make housework fun |
 Take one outfit reminiscent of the late '50s or early '60s. Put hair 'up' and do your make-up. Remember to wear red lipstick and flat heels. Try to look somewhere between Audrey Hepburn and Betty Draper from Mad Men.
Add one husband with a camera who likes to tell jokes. Give husband dirty looks if he says "you missed a spot." Play the "lounge" music collection over the  computer and dance your way through the chores - and voila! Housework as play.
Your reward - husband does the dishes and you get to relax with a glass of wine.
Who says chore day has to be boring?
Today, Dan has to repair a plumbing leak. Something tells me he's not going to dress up as Don Draper or Fred Astaire to do it, though.Labels: '50's housewife |

That first photo is just lovely, your hair really suits you like that. Can't think of anything that would make housework fun. Personally I like a naked iron(ing)man but its been a very, very long time.

Ann - I love the idea of a naked man doing the ironing. Wonder how I could bribe Dan into doing that?
