really, i'd make a good housewife

except for the whole cleaning thing, that is. i like the baking and knitting and reading books to kids. that's the bulk of it, right? fall always makes me feel this way; i start nesting and cooking a lot. part of it this year is that summer was so hot, the cool of the fall makes being in the kitchen not so unbearable. plus, i love making anything involving pumpkins. today i'm doing some more baking, some knitting, and putting stuff in the mail. i'm telling you, i could do this every day.

last night i was watching dirty jobs with my roommate and we spent a good amount of time talking about how hot mike rowe is. i'm not talking a few moment of idle chatter, i'm talking a serious conversation about all the ways he is hot. he's not amazingly handsome or pretty, like say, keanu reeves or brad pitt, but he exudes this manly-manliness that is totally intoxicating. i might have to put him on my list.

mr. man of my dreams did not come back into the store yesterday. although i think i may have talked to him on the phone, and i think i made him laugh. the chances of us actually going out on something like a date or impossibly slim, but i have to say this little crush is pretty fun. it's nice to know that there's a cute, funny man out there. it's gives me hope that there might be another one somewhere in colorado. let's hope finding him isn't too much like a needle in a haystack. (does that make me sound too pathetic? i worried about whether or not to leave it in but decided to. i'm not totally boy-crazy, or desperate for a boyfriend, but i like the idea of having one, and to be honest, it's been on my mind. now you get to read about it. sucks to be you!)
