Ya know, most days I don’t mind being single…but weekends are a different story. Yes, I am busy baking cakes and delivering them to parties…but it’s after I hang up my chef coat and head to the grocery store to pick up something to eat…I get a bit sad.
I never paid much attention to those individuals walking through the store with just an arm basket…one steak, prepackaged…a potato…some aspargus…a couple of yogurts…yeah, you know the ones…but I found myself there today.
***sighs***
It is not a bad thing - being alone - I LOVE having my own space and I love being able to do whatever I want, when I want but some days are better than others…and tonight was one of the “other” days. I picked up a few items for dinner and came home to plop in front of the television to watch my tivo’d shows - catch up. But they’re finished and I’m bored.
My wish list would include one of those cool teletransporter things from the Star Trek Enterprise…so I could zap any number of my friends or family to come to California so I could actually make a recipe without splitting into fourths…:)

because the hub is a firefighter, i’ve spent many an evening on my own and can relate! i rarely cook for myself though - why would i when cereal is so easy?
you are always welcome over here for a dose of family time, although, if you read my last post you’ll probably run screaming the other way
ciao bella,

Hey Jody-
One of my friends told me once, “You are so self-sufficient–you are perfect company for yourself.” She meant that as a compliment. And it is true, I like many of the benefits of being single. But there are times you just want things the “other side” has. Weekends, especially Saturday nights are easier when you have special someone you know you are going to hang out with. And then there are those extracurricular benefits that can’t be beat when you are part of a couple! (Wink!)
As for splitting recipes. I don’t cook that much, My single cooking is normally some grilled protein and a salad and veggie. Pretty boring but it helps my food program right now. (I used to love to cook–but cooking for me alone–doesn’t really thrill me.)
Hey girl–we can make plans and be two hot women on the town! Just let me know.
hugs

Even though I am married and so happy there are days I wish I was still single. To walk through the store, buy what I want, and be able to go home, and plop down in front of the tv without Agnes crawling on me or Sean just following me around the house. LOL
I was single for a very long time. When I look back on it I really treasure that time. It was a time of self discovery. It gave me time to figure out what to do in life and where I wanted to go. When you and I went to Indonesia that was the cherry on top of all the work I had done as a single gal.
Try not to let it get you down. This isn’t a permanent thing. It is just part of your journey.
Of course, there is one thing I need to tell you….Just don’t get anymore cats. I would really start to worry about you!
Love you.
I am blessed to have so many wonderful friends…thanks guys!!!
… we have left overs again … hahahahahahaha
