Home Alone

Rita is on a business trip and I am spending my first two days on my own in my new digs. It’s kind of weird being in the house without Rita…but I have been taking full advantage of the situation. Here’s a recap of what I’ve been up to the last two days:

  • Walking around with every light in the house blazing. I am not kidding – even the closet lights. It looks like a damn runway strip in here. I love it =) =)
  • Forgetting that a cat lives here. Seriously, has anyone seen Madison in the last 48 hours?
  • Running the starbucks-like espresso machine at max capacity
  • Trying to figure out what it means when said-espresso maker keeps beeping at you with the illuminated message CLEAN RIGHT NOW. [I bet I get an email about that pretty soon.]
  • Four words: unsupervised wine room visits (I’ve picked out everyone’s xmas present!)
  • Ducking the scary cleaning lady
  • Watching the Tina Fey as Sarah Palin montage again
  • Trying not to think about what my team in Massachusetts is blogging about with me not THERE
  • Working on new recipes for a turkey sandwich (I don’t know how to make any of the other food in this house)
  • NOT recycling the cat food tins, that’s for damn sure. Ick.
  • Winning the “what-will-we-Tivo-at-8 p.m.” battle. Hello Jon Stewart…goodbye Iron Chef.
