  • Fixing the vacuum cleaner
  • Making loud rock and roll music
  • Putting in a strong tackle
  • Bleeding from soccer wounds
  • P.E.C. Meeting
  • Praying with the family
  • Bearing testimony
  • Doing yard work
  • Lopping off tree limbs
  • Moving heavy furniture
  • Making two dashboard lights turn back off in one trip to the gas station

How about you? What makes you feel manly or womanly?

Installing my car stereo on my own makes me feel manly. Enjoying "what not to wear" on TLC makes me feel womanly.

Ha ha. That's hilarious. I didn't think of writing what makes me feel womanly. I'll admit, I do enjoy watching that with Natalie.

tackling the job of changing my own timing belt makes me feel manly. dirt underneath my fingernails. on a side note... admitting defeat after not successfully fixing the timing after 10 or so hours of frustration. finally breaking down and calling a tow truck to take it to the dealer to clean up my mess makes me feel so WOMANLY. Ughh... one of those days.

oh, it's been a while since I've read your blog, Jesse. It is always so entertaining. Chopping wood? Do you really do that? Now you have me curious.

It's not very often, but sometimes when we go camping, I chop firewood and I feel very manly.

I'm so happy I contributed to your feelings of manliness, ie., moving heavy furniture. You are a great husband and dad and that's the ultimate manliness.

Digging with a shovel

Not wearing work gloves

Taking my trash cans to the curb

Wailing a sledge hammer into something with all my force

Opening jars.

And that loud sound you get from throwing something heavy into an empty dumpster.

Mowing my lawn while listening to hard rock. And I totally agree about the soccer wounds--for the ten minutes that my adrenaline kept the severe pain of a broken nose subsided, I felt like the coolest kid on earth.
