Questionable material

So the other day, while at the gym, I was reading a magazine to pass the time of the dreaded cardio. It was one of those celebrity gossip magazines. You know the ones that say, "Look, celebrities are just like us!" and then proceed to show pictures of celebs doing "normal" every day things like taking the trash out, driving a car, picking a wedgie...that sort of stuff. Well I came across an advertisement titled PORN FOR WOMEN and yes, I do have to admit it caught my eye. And yes, I also have to admit I did smile just a little bit. Underneath the large bold print it showed several pictures of men with chiseled jaw lines and bulging biceps (fully clothed) flexing the muscle that really counts, THEIR CLEANING MUSCLE. (Seriously people, what else did you think I was going to say?) One picture was a a man vacuuming the house, while another one was doing the dishes. And to add more appeal, one man was down on his hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom floor..."porn for women" , now that's what I'm talking about! That ad could not have been more accurate and I'm quite sure that ANY married women reading this right now are nodding their head in agreement (or maybe not). Isn't it funny how having your husband clean the bathroom let alone do the dishes is better then say... a box of chocolates or jewelery.

Now I have to say that I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who does help out around the house if I ask for help. But if Nate out of no where said to me, "Ginnie you've had a long day, why don't you go sit down and I will cook and clean up dinner and after I'm done with that I'll put the kids in bed. And I know you haven't cleaned the bathroom in at least 3 weeks, so you know what,.. I'll give it a good scrub down for you as well." Wow, just the thought of that makes me melt like butta'. For the sake of keeping this PG-rated I have to stop right there, but you get the idea. So the question is, how do we get the men in our lives to do that for us? Maybe you could direct them to reading this blog and well, if that doesn't work there's always "Porn for Women" I enjoyed taking a peek. (Does that mean I need to go talk to the bishop now?)

Awesome! Ginnie, you are hilarious! I love reading your posts, they make me laugh. This is so true. James is not one to clean at all. Lets just say he would be a much happier man if he would do this more for me. ha ha.

Hey that got me going just thinking about what that might do to me if Ben came out and said those things to me. (I think I need to go to the bish also) Well that is the truth, I wish they could figure it out but no I'm stuck to go clean my pee infested floor here in a minute??? (my 3 year old has a problem making it in the toilet)

Awhile ago I asked a question on "askanything blog" & you were kind enough to respond. THANK YOU!!! You totally fixed my problem & I totally understood what you were saying. Thanks again!

I have to be the one to admit that kyles helps out around the house a lot. He practically thinks I am incapable of doing anything when I am pregnant(which might I add is very nice) So I guess I cant complain. The porn for women is funny though.
