How to survive...

…when you are single and childless for the week:

•Dive into a home improvement project. Take no mind the Cory usually does these, and take full advantage of your feminine wiles on the poor Lowe’s Guy.

•Have plenty of sugar cookie dough on hand.

•Plan lunch with your Mom.

•Force Mom to help with above stated home improvement.

•Go back to Lowe’s. Stare at the Mums for at least fifteen minutes, contemplating where you can plant them.

•Have plenty of frozen pizzas on hand for dinner. (who cooks if it is just you?)

•Ecstatically run out and buy the new Stephanie Laurens’s paperback when the library is inexplicably closed on the day before Labor Day. Convince yourself you would have bought it anyway, so it’s okay.

•Have plenty of chips and cheesy dip on hand. It is quite simply the easiest thing to eat while you are juggling a paint brush. Thank goodness I’m ambidextrous.

•Accidently drop lid of cheesy dip into sink, helplessly watch it slide right into the garbage disposal. Stick you hand in to retrieve it, and instantly replay every horror movie you have ever seen.

•Plan to watch Sci Fi Movies during working on home improvement. Gnash teeth when you realize they are not playing movies, but replaying stupid Star Trek shows.

•Listen to iTunes instead. Marvel over how well Cory knows you to make such a wonderful playlist for you.

•Miss Cory. Miss Moosey Boy.

•Go back to Lowes…
