fun washing dishes

tonight jarred and i had a kitchen starting to pile up with dishes and we planned into our schedule doing the inevitable: actually washing them. remember, no mechanical dishwashers here.

and when i mentioned washing dishes tonight my husband replied with 2 words: bob segar.
not that he EVER listens to bob segar, mind you. but if you have ever walked up to the klein house in norfolk about 9 pm on a weeknight you might have heard bob segar blaring from the kitchen. and that means that my dad is doing dishes. if it lasts, it means the floor is getting mopped too.

so in our recreation of pamela place (since it is a really fun place and we haven't been there in awhile), we pulled up my itunes, hooked the computer up to speakers, and blasted some classic rock as we got to work.

our playlist:
katmandu- bob segar
devil with the blue dress on - mitch rider
bad moon rising- ccr
fortunate son- ccr
born in the usa- bruce springsteen
glory days- bruce springsteen
rock and roll never forgets- bob segar
mony mony- billy idol
a day in the life- the beatles
roam- the b52s
walk this way- aerosmith
wheel in the sky- journey
kashmir- led zepplin
don't stop til you get enough- michael jackson (ok, so we veered a little...)
reelin' in the years- steely dan
take the money and run- steve miller band

and we had an awesome combination of dish-washing and dance-partying in our kitchen for the next hour. thankfully, i got to dry which is way more conducive to dancing. max got scared and left the room.

i thought i would serenade jarred with arabian nights from the aladdin soundtrack which he dubbed torture and retaliated by making me suffer through one minute and 19 seconds of no rain by blind melon. why do have either of those on my itunes? and bubba sparxx miss new booty somehow made it into the rock genre too so i gave him a whirl. jarred told me i needed to start treating my itunes like an email inbox and going on a deleting binge every so often. maybe a good idea.

i definitely have the most fun husband ever! only he could make washing dishes so fun. our night left us wishing this guy was our neighbor. [sorry no sound, it's way better with sound] and speaking of neighbors, hopefully ours don't hate us.

rock on.
