Oh, Sundays as a Single Mom

Let me start this post by saying that MOTY’s night out last night was short but awesome. I can admit that the allure of my sweatpants keeps me from going out with my friends often. When I have a free night, all I want to do is curl up in my oversized chair and watch crappy TV or read my Kindle. After work, we made our way to Starvin Marvin’s, but the line out the door and nowhere to park had us changing our minds pretty quickly. After a quick debate between Buffalo Wild Wings and Chili’s, the margaritas won out. A few Tropical Sunrise Margs, some pretzels and onion strings and girl chat was well worth it.

I highly recommend these Tropical Sunrise Margaritas from Chili's

Today is lining up to be a domestic day for me. I’ve got my coupons ready to be clipped and laundry in the washing machine. I woke up this morning and left early enough to buy my newspapers before going to church. Aside from the over 20 degree temperature drop from yesterday, it seemed to be just fine. I get out of church and the sun is shining, so I hit up Wal-Mart. I’m navigating the store like a boss because I know exactly where everything I need is and I have my list sorted by the location of the items in the store. I have my coupons organized and I get out of there in no time. Then I see it. I get to the door to leave and I realize that the sky has apparently fallen and a monsoon style rain. CRAP. By the time I get my groceries in, I’m drenched but grateful that I bought a frozen pizza for today’s lunch and dinner.  The cheese pizzas were on sale, so I ghettoed it into a pepperoni pizza when I got home.

I'm turning into some sort of kitchen boss! 

Spending the rest of the day watching movies, starting with “He’s Just Not That Into You”. As I venture into online dating, the insight from this book turned movie could prove to be invaluable. (Yea, be prepared for those stories too.)
