Cooking for One

Do you ever just NOT feel like cooking when boyfriend or hubby is away? Something about cooking alone is depressing to me. So with C gone all week I have a feeling I'm going to be reaching for the quick, convenient stuff. Not too good for my waistline or wallet! I'm thinking Cosi for dinner tonight. I usually prefer Panera but Cosi is right up the road from us so I will just have to settle.

I could always just grab some quick stuff from the grocery store that doesn't require much prep. I'm thinking frozen pizza and other wonderfully healthy and preservative-filled items. Oh well, it's spring break!!!! DANGEROUS line of reasoning.

Side note: I may go out and purchase a can of paint and some rollers this week so I can FINALLY attack either our study or our living room walls. Our entire apartment is a disgustingly boring off-white color, and I just can't take it anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to surprise C on his return with some lovely color on the walls? Ah, I must be feeling ambitious. I'm thinking a DIY project is just what I need though to pull me out of this funk! We shall see....

The Dress Matters

C and I have an on going joke about this commercial. Really, C just despises the wife for spending the couple's hard-earned rewards on a dress, and I get to have a good laugh at his outrage every time the commercial comes on TV. It has gotten to the point where C has seen the same actress in another commercial (Olive Garden, I think?) and he says, "Hey, that's that selfish wife from the Chase Rewards commercial!!" Too funny! Anyone else have a spouse or boyfriend who totally hates this wife? I get the feeling men may be in agreement on this one.

I did a little google search to see what people are saying about the commercial (holy spare time!) and I found this ridiculous message board called Commercials I Hate featuring a discussion about this ad. I'd just like to point out the post by the guy who said he just watches the commercial for the sexuality. LOL. What??? Here are a few more gems for your enjoyment:

- "Yeah I didn't get this commercial either...Cause the wife is saying "Oh no we can't take a vacation because we don't have enough." Yet she bought a new dress......Possible failure on the storyboard worker's part?"

- "I don't care if tht dress says Versace, Armani or whomever - that is one of the fugliest creations I ever saw."

....I don't know what's worse. Fact that people actually spend their time posting detailed comments on that message board, or that that I'm spending my time relaying it to all of you :) Oh well, I found it somewhat entertaining.

Happy Saturday Night!! xx

Leaving On A Jetplane...

Well, not me. But C is!! :( I just said goodbye to him because he's off to London and Ireland for the week. His brother is studying abroad in London currently so they're meeting up there, seeing a soccer game (the Carling Cup? I guess it's a big deal to those who are into soccer!) and then heading to Ireland for the rest of the week to see Dublin, Galway, and another place that I can't remember. I sure do miss him already! But you know what they say...... ;)

On a happier note, we are officially on SPRING BREAK. And what good timing that was. I am not up to much this week, just a whole lot of wearing sweats, catching up on Gossip Girl and other DVR saviors, and (possibly) doing a little outlining. I simply cannot convey to you how amazing an entire week of freedom feels right now. WOOHOO!

Have a lovely weekend, all!!
