my husband is out of town.....

Tim has been enjoying life in Montrose, Colorado this week. All week. The entire week long he's been gone and I've been on my own. I miss him.

To try and take my mind off of being along allll day long (and can I also mention unemployed? There is only so much job searching one can do in a day before you start to go crazy) I've been doing things that Tim probably would have advised me against if he were here.

Examples.

I went and bought several autumnal candles. I just love them. Tim chastises me for always having candles burning in the apartment, so while he's been gone I've created an inferno of candle flames!!

Tofu. Tim hates it, I love it. Tim is typically a pretty good sport about eating whatever I cook him--I've forced him to eat brussel sprouts, all sorts of squashes, beef-less beef (a mistake), and a myriad of other strange things. Since he's gone I thought it was a perfect time to eat some bean curd. So tonight I consumed an entire dinner made of nothing BUT tofu. Somehow I think Tim is probably OK with missing out on tonight's meal...

I've also really been into quinoa lately too. I don't really know what it is, but I made it for lunch.

I broke out my guitar tonight for the first time in awhile...yikes. After spending awhile tuning that baby, I proceeded to make my fingers bleed as I attempted to play recognizable music and songs. It's probably a good thing Tim wasn't here to witness (or hear) me play.

Finally, I got a dog. I've been wanting one for a really long time, so I just went out today and got this REALLY cute yellow lab. His name is Maurice.

Just kidding.
