Things I Do When the Husband is Away

Preston was gone for two weeks. I played bachelorette. This is what goes down in our house when he’s gone:

• Dinner is cheese and crackers.
• The mail only gets checked once a week.
• I go to the grocery store and buy five different kinds of cheese.
• Movie marathons with the bestie last past midnight. (Midnight is late for this old granny.) Notice the “s” in marathons—that’s right, there were several.
• I end up staying up past midnight on the other nights, too. Reading.
• I can’t help but watch Frozen multiple times.
• The dog sleeps on Preston’s pillow.
• I come up with an idea for my first novel. So now I’m writing a book.

I also didn’t fold clothes for two weeks, but that’s not really different from the norm.
