My mom is in town and my fiance's parents are arriving this evening for dinner. The best part of the holiday is either mashed potatoes or guilt-free procrastination from grading my students' papers. (Oh, my Friday will be Black, indeed, but it's not here yet.) I finally got around to some long overdue domestic chores. Truth: my fiance cooks, cleans, and washes dishes far more than I do lately. I am a pretty good cook, but If he had been looking for a Stepford Wife, he would have been sorely disappointed. Yesterday, we cleaned the house thoroughly. Today, I've been cooking up a storm, and El Historiador has been cleaning up after me and waiting to put his brined turkey in the oven. I have been doing these tasks in boots. Yesterday I wore my cowgirl boots.1 My photographer snapped this of me. Note how my feet are up because the floor is freshly mopped.

Today I dressed up a little bit in one of my favorite dresses from Zara. I bought it around three years ago and couldn't wear it for about two years because of weight gain. I'm so happy that I fit into again, although it's still a little unflattering in a couple of areas, so I decided to cover that up, playing with analogous colors and wearing my pink and wine Victorian style Fluevogs.2 I also have had an apron on most of the day, so I don't splatter myself with flour or mashed potatoes. This is the closest I get to Stepford.
Anyhow, see how scary Stepford is?
