So... Michael just started his MBA program at Arizona State University. We are super excited that he is accepted and working hard and going back for an even higher education! I'm not going to lie, the concept of going back to school and studying and tuition and tests is not something I would volunteer for. But I do admire Michael for getting on board because he knows that it will be better in the long run.
After we found out that he was accepted, Michael kept saying that I needed to find a hobby. At the time, I would reply that there are many, many things I could do while he was at school for only two nights a week. I mean, I have school work, I can clean, I can read, I can shop, I can watch chick flicks that I can't get Michael to watch with me. The possibilities are endless. I love my husband, but having some alone time is never a bad thing...Now that he has been to a grand total of 4 classes, I realize I NEED A HOBBY!
I am so bored! I have tried many different recipes. Most of which were recommended by you all. They are delicious by the way. But that's only the beginning of the evening. He's gone all night. I get sick of correcting. Doing housework doesn't exactly count as a hobby. Shopping alone doesn't last that long. Although it's embarrassing for me to admit, I have had a few TV shows that have kept me afloat...
Oh how I LOVE Design Star! I love it! I love it! I love that they have it online so there are limited commercials and so I can watch all seasons over and over again. I feel like this season there is a lot of talent. Most seasons I don't have 5 that I want to win. It's my favorite HGTV show because I love the across the spectrum ideas and inspiration. So thank you design star for keeping me sane on Tuesdays. However, that leaves Thursdays wide open!
What's an MBA Widow to do the rest of the long nights and meetings with study groups?
I learned how to knit before Jeff started school...
ReplyDeletethis is why you need to learn to sew...or you could get into the whole re-doing thrift furniture. i want to do this one.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat. Blaine went back to school for his EE Masters and I am stuck at home doing the same things over and over again. My floor can only be swept so many times in one night! I take the dog for walks. But in AZ it's probably a lot hotter than here...Hmm
ReplyDeleteWhen you find something inexpensive but worthwhile, let me know. Navie and Jason are gone more than I can clean the house too. I might look into this TV show. I've been watching Bones on Netflix too. Wouldn't it be great if we lived close and then we could be bored together?
ReplyDeleteGet a retail job. Saved my life. Discount = magic. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, you could get a private jet and come watch my kid while I nap. That would also be magical.
ReplyDeleteYou could move a smidgen closer to Mesa so we could visit more often... Neil is traveling a lot with work too. Maybe we should get together when we are both lonely on the same night.
ReplyDeleteLive in the same town as me and we can hang out! Clark will be getting his MBA in the Spring (hopefully) so I will be husbandless in the evenings as well. I guess we do have something to keep us busy starting the end of March first of April (then we will want our husbands home ALL the time!)
