Ode to Tuesdays

Before I get to Tuesdays I want to set your minds at ease- just because Nicholas won Husband of the Year 2009 does not mean that he is taking a break from being wonderful.  Last week he surprised me with these flowers one day when he came home from work.


Now- I love Tuesdays...love 'em!  I used to claim that Thursdays were my favorite- almost the weekend, the Office was on, etc.  However now Thursdays are my long days at work and I don't even get to watch the Office until Friday.  Tuesdays are so great because I don't have to get ready at all if I don't want to- most Tuesdays I don't even leave the apartment! (Well, except for my morning exercise.)  


Now I know that may sound terrible- to be cramped up in a tiny apartment all day- but it really is wonderful.  I clean the apartment and there is nothing nicer than being at home when it is all nice and clean.  It is usually the day I get to do little random projects...making cards, getting out decorations, etc.  One "project" I was particularly excited to get done was making a space for my version of food storage- I am not going to grind my own wheat...quite frankly I don't even have the desire at all...but I do know we need to build up our food supply and I have been trying to buy extras of things we use regularly.  Up until now they were pushed under the bed between bins full of dance shoes, office supplies, etc.  However now they have their own bin (which has to go in my closet because under the bed is full) and it is full!  Wahoo!  

Another thing I get to do on Tuesdays is cook dinner- something that doesn't have to be good as a microwave meal as Tuesday is one night I actually get to eat with Nicholas.  I also get to be home to welcome Nick home from work on Tuesdays...welcome him home to a nice clean apartment with dinner on the stove.  Not to mention the fact that I can wear my grubbie clothes all day, wear no makeup, and pull my wet hair into a ponytail.


Above is a picture of my clean apartment today- I know it doesn't look like much, but it feels so nice...wish you were here to enjoy it!  And below is a picture of Koshka enjoying a clean home as well.

I see marshmallows and jello.
Also, way to have two couches already! We can't wait to get one.

There are lights over the window. It must be Alex's apartment. Also, I really want to come visit you guys. :)

Ha ha! Yes, we were too sad to take down all the Christmas so I left the lights up...why not? :)

And we are very lucky to have two couches, even though most times Nick and I sit on the love seat and Koshka sits on the big couch.

Please come visit...anyone is welcome!
