Sigh.
Before you get the wrong idea, he offers to change the channel every evening...it's totally me "being thoughtful." Or something, I don't care. This has been my own little indulgence—I watch what I want, he watches what he wants, and next week we'll go back to watching things together.
God, I love Mad Men. It makes me miss advertising so. Not that I don't still do that...(Hire me!), but most of what I do these days is graphic design (and onesie designs, cause why not) and it just isn't the same.
Again, sigh.
Soooo, I design, I watch indulgent tv, and I make like 5 meals a day (E is really into scrambled eggs right now). This is my life. And I'm not complaining. But when I break out an old recipe and the hubby comments, "This is always one of my favorites," I do a little swoon inside. Because thank you. I can't always be creative.
Great with something off the grill-chicken, beef, etc.

Um, LOVE Mad Men, I already watched season 5 as it came out so I'm dying for season 6 to start, which I think it will like next week???? seriously great show.
ReplyDeleteSo sometimes I love "having" to work at night because it means I have my Netbook set up next to my laptop watching something indulgent. Right now I'm hooked on "Shameless" on Showtime (and yes, my friend gave me his parent's online log in so that I can watch it on my computer because we don't have Showtime, and maybe that's a little shady, but it sure makes working a hell of a lot more fun!).
