Well. It has happened. My husband is gone for three whole days and I am footless and fancy free. Woo hoo! Watch me go! What shall I get up to first? With so many options, it’s difficult to decide.
Unfortunately, I have disappointed myself. I think the married me assumes the single me would lead a much more exciting and interesting life. Evidence suggests – not true! Would lead equally boring and stagnant life of couch sitting and wall staring. Grass is always greener. It’s a saying for a reason.
This is only night number one, so perhaps there is hope for me yet. But I have to say – so far, not good. Upon returning home from work, I proceeded to stuff several triscuits into my mouth before racing off to the bathroom to pluck hair from various parts of my body. I adore my tweezers more than life itself and can say with all honesty that they would be my one true and trusted item, were I ever to be marooned on a desert island.
Once all hair removal was complete, I abandoned my work attire for a more comfortable outfit; this consisting of very large jogging pants and a college sweatshirt from 1998. Next on the list – turn the heat up, up, up!! My husband likes to keep our house in igloo like temperatures and when he is gone, I own the thermostat!
By the time I had devoured the previous night’s leftovers, it was only 6:14 p.m. One hour of American Idol, one hour of laundry, and I have started to contemplate exfoliation as a way to pass the time. I thought about a bath, but I have a phobia of my house being burglarized while I am naked and helpless in the tub, so it's really not an option. Irrational phobia? Perhaps.
In an effort to keep busy, I consume a bowl of popcorn and follow it up with several portions of extra aged cheddar and sliced up apples. Fantastic! I have resumed reading my book, but am dangerously close to the end and so I'm trying to ration myself. Must never complete a book without the next read at the ready.
I have checked my email and Facebook at least 9 times each and I am now deeply disturbed by my strong desire for one of my "friends" to update their status. Seriously – nobody has updated their status in hours! I updated mine when I got home from work, but am holding off posting an update until tomorrow – wouldn’t want people to think I am a freak. I have checked all important news websites to ensure there is nothing occurring anywhere in the world that would cause me to lose sleep. For the record, these types of sleep losing news items would include natural disasters (particularly earthquakes), celebrity deaths, and anything to do with extraterrestrials.
And so, there you have it. The life of a bachelorette is not as exciting as it seems. But it does seem conducive to blogging – so stay tuned!
