Shit Heard Around this House!!

I have been in the kitchen most of the day, making preserves, jams, syrups and canning them. I still have things all over the place because I am not nearly done for the night - just taking a break while Jess makes dinner.

Jess is overly tidy and organized in the kitchen. Thirty plus years of being a professional chef means that my different organization (to Jess, its disorganized) makes Jess' head want to explode. However, she works around it, usually without complaint.

I just heard noises that sounded like my canning crap is getting in the way. Followed by, "When's the mercury retrograde supposed to be over?"

Me: "I dunno, but I don't think its any time soon."

Jess, VERY perturbed: "Well, it needs to hurry the fuck on up!"

I couldn't agree more....
