When the husband's away...

This wife will do absolutely nothing! Jay was in Ruidoso this weekend at the horse races and playing golf and my first thought was 'Good for him, he needs to get away!' My very next thought which I confess may have actually come first was...'Jay gone means I get to relish in my all time favorite and oh so treasured-- alone time'. It's true. I really love to hang out with...me. It's refreshing and fun and I'm never bored. Seriously. Never. 

You see, I lived alone for a long time before Jay and I got married and I always loved it. Like go home on Friday and not speak to another soul (in person) until Monday morning love it. Then we got married and I had some adjusting to do. I was actually quite stressed the first few months of our marriage because Jay came to my, I mean our home...everyday and to be fair it was actually his home that I invaded. Everytime I voice this caveat, I'm met with confused and slightly concerned looks...but just to be clear, I adore my husband! I just happen to also adore hanging out by myself. That's all. 

So here is a run down of my weekend in a few pictures:

I ran to my parents on Saturday for a quick bite and to see Baby O. He's a tiny sweetie. I took a nap just like Owen but I'm sure that I wasn't as cute...

I made a dinner that consisted solely of 4 stuffed peppers. One of the beauties of not cooking for my 'meat and potatoes' guy. Delicious! 

I came to grips with my inability to put things in their proper place the first time. Look at my week in shoes though! Very well balanced! 

And finally I watched several glorious hours of Real Housewives of Beverley Hills, Orange County and New Jersey with this gal. We love trash tv and we love it large quantities! I may have also watched Legally Blonde and eaten 6 Outshine popsicles...but I'll never tell. 

It's fun being me.
