Femme - with Butch Moments

[hiddenmuse]

I saw that expression on a t-shirt at Pride, and just loved it. :)

Today, it would've been an especially appropriate shirt, since I was having a nice little Butch Moment of my own.

Some people assume that Butch Moment means that I went out and fixed some cars or something - or slammed down beers while wearing my Sunday Best Flannel and Docs. Nope, for me, getting Butch would entail doing household stuff. I can fix things around the house fairly well - done some toilet repair in the past, and recently, I have repaired the bathtub in the apartment.

Today's Moment was a complete defrost of our shoebox-sized freezer. Considering that half the space had been over-run by frost, this almost felt like a Mission: Impossible. So, what's a girl to do? Get out the hammer and a flathead screwdriver, of course! So, I spent almost 2 hours hammering and chiseling away at the ice, getting bruised and bloody knuckles in the process.

The end result? A sink full of ice, a wet floor - and a freezer that is back to full capacity, whatever that is.

It came with the apartment, unfortunately. So, until we move, we're stuck with a sucky fridge that comes up to Kellie's and my shoulders (she and I are both about 5'7" - so the fridge is barely 5 feet high)!
