I laughed at the thought of all the things I could do while D was gone. You know, the whole "While the cat's away, the mice play". Thing is....that's not really my style. I'm too cheap and I'd rather ask for permission rather than for forgiveness. It's an integrity thing and a "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you" motto.
We didn't just sit around though. The girls and I went on a shopping spree at Saver's. Too funny. The girls got several new "to them" things to wear and I scored about 60 teeny tiny tart tins complete with the recipe booklet from 1960.
The girls wanted a tea party once they saw the little tart tins. We made the tarts and filled them with nutella and whipped cream. I've always loved teeny things and then to have my own daughters now request a tea party made me almost giddy.
We made a grocery store run and happened onto corn on the cob. How Memorial Day is that? I shucked a few ears and decided that we would make elote. So good! I had the chicken marinated, the corn ready to grill, only to find out that the propane on the bbq was out. So, I moved the bbq inside. That's right. Chicken cooked on the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine, and corn cooked over the burners on the stove. It turned out yummy. If you haven't ever been to "Our Best Bites" blog, GO! They truly have yummy foods.
After staring at myself for a couple days and having decided that I missed D, I bought a $6.99 hair color and decided to go darker. It felt good to "wash that gray right out of my hair". We'll see what he thinks when I greet him tomorrow. I don't know what going darker has to do with missing D, but my hair was bugging me and I was bored.
Other than that, same-o, same-o. Can't wait to get my man home because it's just really not that cool while the cat's away.
