What is something you really enjoy doing that is a chore or a bore for many people?
I love to unpack my luggage after a trip. I get all excited about it on the way home. I like putting things were they belong – dirty clothes in the hamper, clean clothes in the closet, my laptop onto my desk, books back on the shelf, bathroom supplies back into the bathroom… you get the idea.
It just makes me feel good knowing everything is in its place.
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
Laundry. I love to make things smell good. And there is absolutely NOTHING better than falling asleep on clean sheets.
you would have to ask…. bookkeeping… mine, yours, someone else’s…. i love it!!! like you, i feel good knowing everything is in its place… (i know, i know, it’s official, i’m a NERD!!!)

Jenniy took my answer word for word! I love having the laundry done and I love crawling into freshly laundred sheets and a bed that has been made up all comfy, cozy!
Wow, you are so not like me.
Washing dishes by hand however is something I enjoy. I love sticking my hands in warm, soapy water and the fact that I really don’t have to think much about what I’m doing – I find it meditative really. Drying dishes, however, I don’t enjoy. But that’s usually the job I get stuck with, because I hate it less than Mike does.
I love to sweep. I hate to mop but I love to sweep. There is something calming about the sound LOL 🙂
I can’t think of a single chore that I actually *enjoy* doing. I love to cook, and I suppose some people would think that’s a chore, but that’s about it.
Watching five movies in one day? 😀
I don’t know. I get a kick out of work once I get going but I have a difficult time because I’m not busy everyday. I miss having a little deadline everyday instead of a big one every few months.
Laundry. I love doing laundry and folding the laundry. Puttng away the laundry is another story altogether. I don’t enjoy putting it away. I will leave if folded in the basket for a couple od days. Weird, huh?
Unpacking is one of my least favorite things to do.
Come to think of it, I really enjoy ironing too.
😉
Jenniy – Ah, I do love sleeping in fresh sheets! But I hate making the bed!
CourtneyInControl – I must confess; I love it too 😉
Gina (Mannyed) – I am sure Manny appreciates it as much as you do! 🙂
suze – and you are not like me… I love the dishwasher! I am so BAD at washing dishes by hand! Steven always has to rewash them for me!
Felicia – I wish I could say that! My problem with sweeping is that whatever you are sweeping never gets into the dust pan! It just stays on the floor!
diane – cooking counts. 😉
ajooja – lol. I am not sure if watching movies can be considered a “chore,” but going to work definitely can!
Robin – Ironing and laundry! You’re amazing! I don’t mind ironing, but it always feels like so much work to get it all set up. I have to iron at least 5 things to make it worth my time! 🙂
