Since The Boss and I don’t do Valentine’s Day (because we think it’s a totally commercialized holiday of nonsense that only further perpetuates gender stereotypes, and forces couples to fit into a mold of how society (and Hallmark) says love should look, feel, smell, taste, and cost) we spent our time together glued to the television (like REAL Americans) and watched the All-Star Game, and corresponding festivities. We were so engrossed in all things NBA over the weekend that at some point I might have gotten a little carried away (well after the weekend was over) without even realizing it.

Last night, The Boss came home from work, and saw that our coffee table looked like this…

…and goes, “Were you doing the LeBron thing again?” and I was all, “CHA. NO?”

Then he smiled at me, and left to go change, and wash up for dinner.
Smiling. Changing. Washing. THE NERVE.

As if I don’t have better things to do with my time then pretend to be LeBron James while I’m at home by myself.
And so what if I did?
Okay.
Fine.
Maybe I did do the LeBron thing when The Boss wasn’t home, but I ALSO took a dirty hijab out of the hamper, and put baby powder all over it to absorb the smell so I could wear it out.

SO THE JOKE’S ON YOU, BUDDY!

I have no idea what the ‘Lebron James thing’ is, but I approve of your being busted!

I can’t believe I spent 20 years of my life not knowing that baby powder was the secret! This weekend I’m def. going to go by some! this indeed made my day, especially because I didn’t have a hijab to wear today and had to wear the kind that keeps slipping in front of my face so my eyes are covered…. but i wore it to go to school and take my chem exam, so that beats everything.

Alright, fair dos – I’ve just watched the hyper link and may or may not be trying this out in the very near future. Respect.

(Methinks doing it with ‘shake ‘n’ vac’ before hoovering, both the floor and ceiling will smell good AND no evidence will be left…)
