Stepford Wife

lady_anne described her approach to grocery shopping in an entry. I'm rather disappointed that I can't dig up the link to it right now. However, to summarize: she hadn't always liked shopping for groceries, but she'd adopted a new approach to the task: going into "Stepford Wives" mode,and treating the chore sort of like performance art. It's not a task: it's showtime!
She made a similar point, in a different way, talking about laundry. The idea isn't so much that Stepford Wives have more fun grocery shopping (though who knows? Maybe they do), but that it's possible to change your attitude about a job by changing the way you go about doing it.
