i think i lost the girly/manly competition. these are the manly things my friend did at work today: open doors, let girls go in front of him at the restaurant, held the chair to the girl next to him, sat down the last. and these are the girly things i did at work today: nothing.

i think i was a bit girly after work though: i was late meeting my husband, so he had to wait in the snow. i wasn't strong enough to open the car door that had frozen, so my husband had to help me (i'm not girly enough not having to tell you that i probably could have opened it myself if i had only tried, though). i didn't sweep the snow off the porch when we got home. i didn't fix the broken windscreen wiper of the saab, and i didn't shift to the repaired tire.  ¶ 8:52 PM
