Hubz is gone...

My husband left tonight to go out of town for work and he's going to squeeze in a recording gig while he's there. He doesn't usually travel except maybe once or twice a year. He'll be back Friday night if all goes as planned but I've never been without him for more than 8-9 hours since the baby was born last summer. Even though I know I can handle it, I'm nervous and if you ever read my "100 Things About Me" you know why. You know that I already have totally irrational fears about him leaving the house. Multiply that by 10 and that's how I'm feeling right now. My brain is working over time thinking of stuff to worry about. Stop it!

This is going to be a lot harder for me than for him. He'll practically be on a paid vacation; no kids, nice dinners out, someone cleaning up after him every day. I'm reallllllly jealous but I think I'm hiding it well. Okay. Maybe not...lol

He was supposed to leave about 3 hours ago, around 7pm EST but he didn't want to leave me with the kids awake, the kitchen a mess and the trash not taken out so he helped me with all that & more before he left, even though it was going to make him get there really late. He's a keeper :-)

Now what? I thought I'd be like "Ahhhhhh...nice quiet house." I'm more like "Shit...it's too quiet in here." Both kids are asleep and I could do any number of things but I'm just sitting around being cold and wondering if I could turn this blah post into something fun and interesting but you know...I'm just not feelin' it.

<-----I have this DVD set that I want to watch. I got it for Christmas and I really love this show but maybe I'll wait until Hubz comes back. The thing about owning a movie or show on DVD is that there is no endpoint. There's no pressure to watch it because it doesn't have to be returned. And for me at least, this means I may never watch it. Not good. This thing was a pain for Hubz to get for me. Wherever he ordered it from screwed up and it arrived like 3 days after Christmas.

I also have this book. Just got it today from the library. I've been waiting forever to read it and yet, I don't feel much like sitting down and reading. Actually, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep and if I do, I won't be able to hear the baby on the other side of the house. Maybe I'll just do our taxes instead :-|

This is a Tuesday and normally I 'd be like "Nip/Tuck night! Yippeeee!!!!" but Nip/Tuck is on hiatus right now and I don't even think they're showing re-runs. So nyahhh...Tuesdays blow until further notice.

I have a question about digital cameras. Mine is hopelessly outdated and I'm in the market for a new one. One that has NO delay and takes fabulous pictures. One where what you see in the viewfinder is indicative of what you will see in your photo. My price range is about $300 unless it does something really spectacular, like change a diaper, in which case, I'd be willing to go much, much higher. Please share any advice you have with me. TIA.

I guess that's all for now. Sorry for the blogging suckage. Feel free to leave happy, peppy comments to cheer me up.
