Do It Yourself

There is only a few moments when I feel I need a male counterpart of sorts and there tends to be central running theme: it is something I don't want to do.

After numerous swear words, moments of near breakdown and extreme levels of frustration and only 6 weeks of assembly (ha) I have a complete bedroom set.  I finally gave in and paid a million dollars to have the mid-beam and slats delivered from Ikea (which I forgot when I was at the store thanks to my Ikea boyfriend who distracted me from the task at hand) allowing me to complete my bed.  I now have a room consisting of a bed, dresser, wardrobe and futon chair that I put together by myself.  Who knew I was so handy?  While I am proud to say that I have some sort of ability with directions and tools I'm not going to lie it would have been a lot more satisfying to watch someone else do it for me.  

So when I'm putting together furniture, killing bugs, moving furniture,  along with several other things I would prefer to not be doing I tend to have moments of weakness and think to myself maybe I should consider a boyfriend but wait I can just hire someone to do all of these things for me.  So maybe I should stop considering a boyfriend and start making more money definitely a much easier task.
