Sweet hubby-man is off for 48 hours on a business trip. Gleefully, this ultra-hip housewife is embracing two whole days where she will not be doing the following:1. picking up dirty Hanes tidy-whities on the floor by the bed.
2. putting the TV remote in the place it's supposed to be for the 15th time in the course of the day.
3. making anything for dinner that resembles meat and potatoes.
4. making anything for dinner at all, unless it's peppermint ice cream and Capn' Crunch cereal.
4. putting books back on the bookshelf, putting dirty clothes in the hamper, putting anything away that's man-related.
5. even having to think about putting the toilet seat down.
6. watching "Chuck" (endlessly fascinating to Hubby, big yawn for wife), kick-boxing fights, (eew) and Harry Potter movies (when will that little wizard graduate, anyway??)
These are some of the things she is going to dive into:
1. Painting.
2. Painting.
3. Painting.
4. Napping and eating cherry cheesecake, eating cherry cheesecake and napping.
5. Web-surfing.
6. Polishing fingernails.
7. Watching every chick flick that can be found that involves brooding heroes with top hats and riding crops, girls in hoopskirts and bonnets, and lots of soaring violin music playing in the background.
It all comes down to this.
Sometimes, people that are madly in love need a chance to miss each other.
