The Sugar Game

  Being a housewife isn't all glitz and glamour.  Sometimes it can be a little boring-there are only so many ways to vacuum and dust the place.  Plus there is little variation in the daily routine.  I'd like to say my daily life was like what you see on T.V., however the only thing in common I have with "Desperate Housewives" is the title, there are no cute gardeners at my place, we don't even have a backyard.  While I'd like to claim that I'm like Peggy Bundy, I can't bring myself to eating bon-bons all day and tease my hair like that, although both are acceptable in Maple Ridge. 
   Sometimes I have to invent ways to occupy oneself for entertainment and to starve off insanity.  The last week I've been playing a self-made game called "The Sugar Game".  It is the ultimate in passive aggressive laziness.  The rules are simple and the objective is the same as the other games I create to keep me going-annoy your husband very subtly and see how long it takes him to realize what's going on.
  I'll break the game down-basically we have a sugar dish and the goal is to never refill it.  Timing is everything in this game.  You want to make sure that when it is empty or near empty to put it back and make your unsuspecting partner fills it up.  Make sure that everything else in the surrounding area is always stocked full, that way this small mundane task sticks out.  You get the biggest points if your husband asks you about it.  I started growing impatient so I asked him today if he noticed anything about having to fill up the sugar dish.  He said he was starting to wonder.....should have kept it up for another week.

Oh well, next week I'll stop re-filling the Keurig water tank.
