Husbandless Week in Review

Okay.  At the beginning of the week, I made all sorts of predictions on what I’ll probably be doing this week while Mike has been gone.  Let’s see just how I put my time to use:

1. Yes, I sang.  I also whistled a lot.  I don’t think the neighbors can hear me, but Mike said that they might be able to after he read my post about how much I sing.  Whatevs, the dogs LOVE to hear me sing, so that’s all that matters.

2. Dinners:  Okay, I was even worse than I thought I’d be.

• Monday: Chips and Salsa for dinner, haagen daz bananas foster ice cream for dessert.
• Tuesday: Chips and Salsa for dinner
• Wednesday:  I had run out of salsa, so I put taco sauce in some melted velveeta and ate it with chips.  Yeeeeahh.  Don’t worry, I’m judging me too.  Oh, and I had more bananas foster ice cream.
• Thursday: I ate a box of quarter-sized crab cakes (I think there were 9) that were supposed to be appetizers for a party.  And then I ate mustard out of a bottle until I started to feel sick.  And then I made a shameful dessert, which leads me to…

3. Yes, I did end up making something that I wouldn’t have made if Mike had been home.  I was so close to going the week without doing this, but yesterday, this recipe popped up in my reader:

Recipe Here

Aaand I needed it.  I had all of the ingredients, and I needed it.  But instead of making a whole batch I quartered the recipe and just made it on a plate (because, let’s be honest, the pan I would have used was already occupied).

Yes.  I know, you’re still judging me.  It’s okay.

Aaand I ate half of it.

It was like, the most giant peanut butter cup in the world and it was delicious.

4. I did talk to the dogs, but really only the last two days when I started to really notice that the house was empty.

5. I read quite a bit, but instead of my super scientific book, I read Mockingjay for like, the 6th or 7th time.  I’m super academic.

6.   I watched just one Twilight movie, and it was Eclipse.  Sorry, honey, but you’ll see that reflected on our on-demand purchase list this month.

7. I cleaned up the sink full of dishes last night, but didn’t do much else.  We’ll clean this weekend, I’m sure!

So there you have it!  I successfully predicted all of the ways I fall short as a human being when my husband isn’t around to keep me in check.  I think I’m ready to eat a vegetable or two now.

Or, I could just go out and buy more salsa.

Have a good weekend!
