School Daze

Now that Este's officially in graduate school mode with night classes and reams of reading, I am faced with hours of free time without a fiance to share it with. The first night by myself, I caught up with all the TV shows Este normally refuses to sit through (i.e. Gossip Girl and America's Next Top Model). The second night I did a girls only happy hour. In the interest of not going brain dead and not becoming a broke alcoholic, I decided to limit the amount of reality TV and drinking. So for the third night, I tried to be productive with my free time.

I went to the gym, went grocery shopping, made dinner, ate dinner, cleared the table, watched some TV, did my nails, trimmed the cat's nails, read, blogged, cleaned my room and picked my outfit for work, all in that order and with time to spare. It was the longest night of my life, and all the while Este was sitting at his desk engrossed in school work. "What are you reading about?" I asked him. Big mistake. He launched into a long lecture on the politics behind the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act which reminded me that I've been meaning to Swiffer the kitchen. Great idea!

Since I have at least two more years of this solitary life to go, I am making a list of enrichment activities for myself. Kat just started this amazing food blog on Iranian cooking called http://www.mimiskitchen.wordpress.com/, so I am definitely going to get my inner Julia Child on. I'm taking Spanish lessons to better flirt with the waitstaff at the Iberostar Bavaro. And I'm training Keesh to use the toilet and walk with a leash. Please don't hesitate to send me any of your suggestions, because...All work and no play make Ava a dull girl. All work and no play make Ava a dull girl. All work and no play make Ava a dull girl.
