An upside to everything

When your fiance comes to his senses and leaves you, always remember the positives:
- It’s a lot easier to clean up after just one person. The house has never been so tidy!
- You can eat all the Michelina’s that you want. Way to put that microwave to use!
- No one is there to accuse you of hogging the blankets.
- No one leaves the toilet seat up.
- Less dishes in the sink. Well, if you’re nuking Michelina’s for every meal, no dishes! Ever!
- No one talks during Project Runway.
- No one bugs you about remembering to TiVo Project Runway.
- No one blocks you in the driveway.
- No one accidentally leaves a ball point pen in the laundry, ruining every pair of jeans you own.
- Mom drops by to take you shopping and feeds you dinner because she can’t decide whether to put you on suicide watch or just pout because, damn, now grandchildren aren’t even on the horizon anymore.
Seriously though, I’m okay. Quinton’s never truly been on his own before, and I know he needs a chance at that autonomy before he settles down. We’re on good terms. I could stand to get out of the house more, but I’m coping.
i so agree with the no dishes. SCREW DISHES. no one to cook for you = no dishes. awesome!

I nominate that indoor time should be renamed new knitting project oppertunity time. Can anyone second me?

Yeah. I’ve been looking for a knitting project since I moved down here. I’m thinking I’m ready to attempt and botch a sweater.

You could knit me something! It get’s cold here in Reno. Knit me an afghan. :-)

Eh, afghans are in the NEVER-EVER category. I started a blanket first. It was pretty much the worst project ever. I never finished, and after sitting around unfinished for two years, I finally threw it out this spring.

Good Luck to you sweetie. I hope it all works out. Sometimes life has a way of screwing with you until you feel like you could walk anywhere and no one would notice anything you want them to, and they always notice everything you don’t… but somehow we still find a way to keep our head above water. And then there’s the Michelena’s, and Budget Gourmet, and don’t forget Lean Gourmet and all the other wonderful types of dirty-plate-saving meals that feed us :)
Take care.
