The list goes on
Nov 25th, 2008 by Emily
Matt has been traveling on business a lot lately, so I’m having to get used to being married long distance. We spent about a year and a half dating long distance, so you think we would be used to it, but no. So now I’m compiling a list of reasons why this stinks. Why yes, it is a very productive use of my time. Maybe I’ll forward this onto his boss…
1. Cooking for one. My meals typically consist of crackers.
2. Taking out the garbage.
3. Being warmed by the heater, not a hug.
4. No one to laugh at my jokes…but myself.
One upside is that my parents had me over for dinner the past two nights. Although, my mom said that they’ll have to invite Matt over without me to keep things fair. Somehow I think they would let me in, too.
One Response to “The list goes on”
I would bet your Mom could make an even longer list than you could after all her years of experience. Here’s mine although it probably still needs more thought.
1. Hard to justify opening a whole bottle of wine for one person.
2. Can’t figure out how to watch a DVD (in my remote-happy house, sometimes I give up and watch basic broadcast stuff instead)
3. No one to toast with your homemade cocktail (my favorite, tequila & Squirt – good with Mexican food)
4. Coming home to a dark house in winter (Dean usually beats me home).
