The Pink Shoe Diaries

i cannot sleep late.

i try so hard, and i always psych myself up when i know i have a day off. i give myself a little "you can sleep late" pep talk. i can stay up as late as i want! i don't have to get out of bed until NOON tomorrow if i want!

and then of course morning rolls around and I am out of bed at 8AM.

and i try really hard to stay in bed because i CAN and i SHOULD.

but i CAN'T!

i wake up, and i think "wow i am so relieved i don't have to work". so i lay in bed and turn on the TV....and then a few minutes later i think "you know if i go out in the living room i can do the same thing i am doing now but i can be watching Sex and the City." (we don't real cable in the bedroom)

so i grab a blanket and head into the living room where i stretch out on the couch.

and then i start thinking "gee i could really use an iced coffee and some breakfast".

so i head into the kitchen and make some iced coffee, toast up a bagel and i am back on the couch.

then i look around "hmm. the coffee table is really cluttered and messy".

so i start throwing out old bills and busting out the orange-scented Pledge.

and while i am in the kitchen throwing everything out i see the apple pie recipe that i wanted to try out so i may as well start making the dough now.

and in a few minutes i will probably do some shoe shopping.

at least this way, i can be home for Law and Order at 3PM.

and to make up for having the day off (which Adam tried to get and couldn't). I am making us a big fancy dinner of a roast chicken, stuffing and squash with lots of wine followed by the aforementioned pie.

Adam is wrong, i would be an EXCELLENT stay at home girlfriend.
