home alone.



yep thats me. bobby left early friday with the girls to head to the beach for a long weekend. some friends were on the coast for a wedding and it turned into a good catch up. i debated about going but the amount of weekends away was starting to ware on me a bit and i decided to hold down the fort. a few observations -

*i miss the girls. (ok yea bobby too.) but when i went to make a smoothie on friday i was left with the bottom inch of the banana that i always save for madison. and there is no one to greet me (and knock me over) when i come home. that is somewhat depressing. though i am free to watch cat litter commercials without smokey's commentary... (ok that might need a little 'splaining...)


*i got a fantastic package in the mail!

i love this!

*normally left to my own accord, the nutrition dwindles. bobby does ALL of the cooking. when i say all i mean all. yes i am a terrible wife. yada yada. (example. me: how about if i cook you dinner for valentines day? him: ummm .. welll... errr....) yep.

so he also braves the grocery store because i HATE food shopping. hate it. but we had nothing to eat and i had to go... it was not pretty. for some reason i am unable to purchase things that would actually amount to a meal. or i buy things we already have. or i forget to look at the list i made. and as soon as i step foot in, i cannot wait to get out. its like my own public hell. some people hate rest stop toilets, i hate walmart. i dont know where things are and for some reason the things i need are never on the actual aisle labels - why cant they say "can of Gatorade mix" or "ketchup". anyhoo... i defied all odds (yes somewhere the theme to rocky was playing) and got stuff to make risotto and roasted veg. and it was GOOD!!! (patting myself on the back) also this weekend i found my new favorite staple..

toast, avocado, eggs and salsa. fantastic!!

*i sleep in the middle of the bed. i sleep resembling a large "X" when space allows.

*when left up completely to me, the television tends to stop on nat geo (oh yes, the stimey national geographic got a make over), E! (caught up on the soup) and shows like cake boss.

*NC got out usual 2 weeks of spring and now we are in full on summer. 95 today people. 95 is not good running weather. 95 to me right now feels like hell. and hell is a place i am quite familiar with.

* i have been toying with ways to add strategically, yet stealthily, add Styrofoam to the "ass" region of my wetsuit.

*i realized today that my college diploma is somewhere in my room in pittsburgh. meaning my mom's house. wonder if i should actually hang that up sometime.

i think that pretty much declutters my head for now.

10-4. over and out.

Mmmm...that little creation you have looks quite good!! I'm not so sure about the salsa though...

Glad you survived your weekend home alone! :)

Wow - that staple DOES look yummy! Yes - I know what you mean - not the same when your Other Half is away. Love the wetsuit + syrafoam idea...lovely. And yes, that NC summer definitely hits fast, doesn't it?

I dont see how people grocery shop at Wal mart or even super Target for that matter. I have to go to the coop, where things are small and i have few choices.
Send me some heat! We are gonna be in the 50's for highs this week. That is MY hell!
