Katie and I tore apart our closet and started to patch, paint, and rehang. We hope to have it done today (Sunday). But, the difference is that this is the fourth closet we've rehung. Not as big a deal to us. Until that Home Depot credit card bill comes in, that is. We really are all sync’d up, aren’t we? Katie and I tore apart our closet and started to patch, paint, and rehang.

And real women don't go out to eat - they can cook their man's dinner better. Same with lawyers, doctors, and clerks at the Motovehicle Department. OK, I'll take back the clerks. psychomom - and real women don’t buy clothes - they sew them. And real women don’t go out to eat - they can cook their man’s dinner better.

We've got two IKEA hanging sorter thingababobs for socks and pjs and other foldable items, plus some shelving type units that we got at Target. Mostly though, our lack of space issue has been solved by many, many trips to the Salvation Army.

Nothing better than a man working with tools. Oh and take off your shirt and show Sophia how real men do it. Real men don't call designers. It should be good for some laughs too.

The closet has ALWAYS been an issue. I'm a slob, he's not. I steal his dress socks to wear under my tall boots(for riding) and I'M A SLOB. While it seems like the fight is over the closet space, I think its really over styles, lifestyles. and respect for eachothers idiosycrecies ( i also can't spell. deal). We have moved to different houses, always gaining a bit more closet space as we go one rung higher on the housing ladder. It never solves the problem. So here it is. She will never change you. You will never change her. What annoys, annoys. Can you love her for her, and can she love you for you. Profound, huh. All fights are for control. LIke I tell my kids, the only person you can control, is yourself. Thats it...I'm done. I really hope you guys get back together. Sophia is always on your mind. That such a good sign...oh anh hire someone for the closet.please, for the health and well being of us all. Michael and I have been together almost 17 years. The closet has ALWAYS been an issue.

Bonez: "Always remember that starting a DIY project with a woman in the house carries a sever burden." What gets severed? I'm scared for Neilochka.
