The Nest

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT!  AND I'm at home.  NOT that I'm old and married – I'm STILL YOUNG and ON MY HONEYMOON AFTER 2 YEARS and I'm stylish and hip…but I definitely am sun deprived AND loathing the frigid temps and dark short days.  Cabin fever is setting in and I'm going crazy with boredom!  AND of course there isn't anything on TV, and besides Mr. Political Science and his MSNBC rule the living room.  I like politics just fine, but not 4 hours every single evening.  He's so adorable in his "man chair" barking his opinions at the candidates and shouting.  If some sort of interactive television exists in our future, he is in BIG trouble and I'd be worried about his safety.  For those working on inventing my interactive TV reference – I request a body guard feature and I'd definitely need the mute button on our end! 

So I resort to reading blogs to pass the time in search of entertainment.  One of my favorite authors' blogs had me once again laughing so hard my side hurt!  Her husband helping himself a big "paw" full of her expensive body scrub which she uses sparingly on special occasions, filling the container with water from the shower making the small amount left useless - to exfoliate his butt had me dying!  I keep my best bath products hidden because even with my inexpensive toiletries, I've gone about my after-shower routines only to discover a big man armpit hair on my white powder fresh Secret roll up deodorant!  (I know, I know – "strong enough for a man" blah blah blah).  Still…have the common courtesy to 'leave it as you found it' so that I'm none the wiser and not freaked out!  We now have a "toiletry pantry with back up stock"!   

I wish I was clever and funny writing books, but I'm just old and married, I mean - creative and talented in other ways, right?
