It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Couples and Bloggy Two-somes!

Don't forget to vote today!

Since it's Tuesday, today’s bloggy topic is a household of TWO.

There are so many of us out there, really!

There needs to be at least TWO people to even SAY ‘us’, for example. Uh, unless you are a household of one person and one pet - I've noticed that people say 'us' for that situation as well. It's OK by me.

You’d think two is the perfect number – some company, but not too much.

Not many bills for just two people, after all, there's just TWO of us.

Perfection, right? Well, yes, for me and Charlie it is, but don't think it's EASY AS PIE or anything! ;-)

I have a few comments about a household of TWO, thank you very much.

How can TWO people use so much space?
Plenty of room in a 2000 square foot house, right, especially since we have a BARN! And one bathroom each, to boot!

How can TWO people use so much toilet paper?
We ought to own stock in whatever company makes Charmin. And for that matter – bring back the OLD Charmin with no quilting, it was better than what they produce nowadays.

How can TWO people get so much MAIL?
There's a pile of mail on the kitchen table, a pile of mail on the kitchen counter, and Charlie has enough bills and magazines in a stack to fuel an small city's energy needs.

How can TWO people spend so much on groceries?
I could easily spend $150-$200 a week on groceries – every time I stop at the store I spend at least $50, and I stop more than once! Trip to the grocery store - $50, then Sams Club - $50, then Wal-mart - $50. When will it ever end? (When do we start eating dog food?)

How can TWO people have such a high electric bill?
Hmmm – maybe two computers, two VCRs, a fridge and a freezer, several loads of wash a week, a bunch of TVs, and half a million LIGHTS ON at all times has something to do with it.

How can TWO people just have ONE garage?
Thank heavens we have a barn, or the garage would overflow. Thankfully our vehicles do fit in it...for now.

How can TWO people have so much TRASH?
If Charlie didn't put the newspapers in the recycle bin, we'd generate a tall-kitchen can sized bag of garbage a DAY. When we WORK ALL DAY, where does all that TRASH come from?

Such a deep, deep subject, worthy of philosophical discussion... by someone else. Maybe TWO someones.

TTFN and have a great Tuesday!
