Abandonment & a sandwich..

David left for Philly on his first official business trip for Green Room Music Source on Friday. I was dreading him leaving me all month and was not a happy camper when he told me I was not allowed to go through check in with him. Normally I’d be glued to his side until it was time for boarding….but, security doesn’t like that. David informed me that I was a big girl and could leave him at the light rail station.

Seriously, I’m NOT a morning person…so the fact that I was up and moving (and operating a motor vehicle ) was totally blowing my mind. It was 7:30  on a Saturday, and I was going to be productive. It was like,”o.m.g.   I get to get an Americano and pretend I’m normally up this early! I’m a grown up now!” Well, I don’t think the rest of society was fooled – my cat sure wasn’t fooled – but,  just because you are wearing cute heels and trouser denim slacks doesn’t mean you actually look put together and good. I still had on the previous nights smeary make up and total bed head…I guess you can only pull off Hobo-Chiche if you are 19 and wearing Uggs. I suppose my creepy giggles about shopping in the morning didn’t help either. Ace Hardware was my first stop and, buying 3lbs of lye and plastic boxes just made me look like a freaking armature terrorist.

My big box of supplies didn’t come in Friday…neither did my safety glasses…I was so bummed. I decided to rack up my credit card bill in the name of productivity and purchase everything I needed at various stores around town…and it only took me like…I don’t know, FOUR HOURS!!!  what a waist of time.

most beautiful Menards in the world...how high brow!

When David is away I like to indulge myself. I like to run around in ridiculous get ups made out of David’s old clothes, dance to my favorite music for exercise (Michael Jackson’s #1’s & The Pixies – Doolittle), & eat the weird foods that totally freak David out.

This little guy is called ‘white on white’. Its a super yummy combination of potato bread, cold extra-firm tofu, Swiss cheese, & miracle whip…heavenly. then I helped myself to a little soup and some Malta Goya! Malta Goya? Yeah…its this little weird Mexican drink that my local grocers has decided to add to there shelves….its basically beer for kids. Yep, a sweet sweet sweet malt beverage that is non-alcoholic….I don’t recommend it. I pretty much ate cheese the rest of the weekend…and chips & cold spaghetti sauce…nutritional.

And, then I made soap:

Lets see what’s on the racks! (for sale in 4-6 weeks!)

Cocoa butter & Rosemary Mint

Lemon & Soy milk

Cinnamon & flax seed

&

Unscented Laundry Bar

I worked for about 8 hours making soap. It seems like i would have a whole lot more than only 3 batches of soap in 8 hours but it is actually rather time consuming…i also managed to fit 7 movies in this weekend too; that might have something to do with it…maybe.

Anyways, i just got word that David has landed…I’m sure you will be able to read all about his adventures and how he met Andrew Zimmern right here…(David’s BLog).
