What you hear:

• 70’s music galore
• the sound of magazine pages slowly being turned, one by one

What you don’t hear:

• bluegrass music
• lots of laughter (thankfully, Brian and I have the same sense of humor which is sorely missed when he’s away)

What you see:

• a very pathetic puppy named Rupert (see above)
• empty Breyers Ice Cream cartons
• dancing that only Elaine fans could appreciate
• chick flicks into the wee hours of the morning

What you smell:

• coffee brewing
• candles burning
• Eucalyptus Mint Method Tub & Tile Wipes (have mercy! They almost smell good enough to make me enjoy cleaning…almost.)

What you don’t smell:

• anything cooking in the oven

It’s times like these when Brian is thankful to be married to an only child (aka loner). I love being by myself for short periods of time but not nearly as much as I enjoy the hubster being here. He’s heading home from France today (yea!).
