My dear husband is out of town for the whole week at a DUI seminar (how to try DUI's, not get pulled over for one) and so begins the longest period of time that we have ever been apart since being together.
What will I do with this time? Where will I go? Who will I talk to? Well my faithful followers, I have compiled a list of what I plan on doing this week in his absence.
1) Sing loudly to show tunes. Yes, I will be playing music from classics such as, "Chicago", "Guys & Dolls", "Showboat" and "The OC" (wait, that's not a classic..). I may or may not incorporate dance moves into this concert; it depends on if I've eaten recently because I really don't fancy a tummy ache.
2) Watch several episodes of "Friends". Kyle doesn't really care for Friends and to me it's almost as influential in my life as eyebrow waxing so I will relish in this sacred time I have to watch it. I have the entire series (I spent my money on really important things in college) and am currently on episode eight. Eight of like a million.
3) Clean up after myself...and then not have to clean up after anyone else. This one gives me goosebumps. I love Kyle, no doubt about it, he's just the cat's pajamas, however, my sweet soul mate just can't seem to master the concept of picking things up from the floor or cleaning up things in the kitchen. He's smart so I'm quite confident that he can acquire these skills but for these five days I will delight in coming home to a house exactly as I left it. Just this afternoon I walked in and there it was: a clean, beautiful house with everything exactly as I had left it at 7:30am.
4) Work. This happens no matter who is here or who isn't here. I will type on my computer and scowl at the screen.
5) Back out of the garage without looking in my rear view mirror. This one is actually false BUT if I could do this, I'd be ecstatic. I forgot that Kyle and Joe were taking one of the office cars to Orlando and for a brief moment I envisioned my driveway, free and clear, just beckoning for me to irresponsibly whip my SUV out of the garage. Now I not only have Kyle's car in the driveway, but also Joe's and so I have to be extra careful. Blah.
6) Eat cereal for dinner. There's a box of gluten-free cinnamon Chex in the pantry and an unopened carton of almond milk in the fridge. Mama's hit the jackpot.
7) Wake up 25 minutes earlier to take the pups out. This is self explanatory and sad.
8) Run. I do this when Kyle is here but now I'll be running with a husband whose out of town. See the difference? No? I really didn't either.
9) Send pics of myself to my friends on snapchat. Usually I send my peeps random pics of Kyle reading comics or waving but this week I have to fly solo.
Aaaannnnddd...
10) Appreciate my husband. Roughly eight seconds after he left I began to miss him and it made me realize how awesome he is. This is a revelation that I have at least once a day anyway, but now that he's gone it's occurring to me every hour how much I love him.
Leave it to a DUI seminar to turn me into a sap.
What will Tuesday bring me as a temporary bachelorette?
