“i adore simple pleasures.” – oscar wilde (the picture of dorian gray)

sometimes, i really like it when tayte is gone all day at work.
because then i’m free.
i’m free to eat all the fruit snacks.
i’m free to listen to whatever music i want to.
i’m free to watch whatever shows i want to.
but most of all, i’m free to make mac n cheese and put lots of milk in it!
here’s the thing.
tayte doesn’t like his mac n cheese soupy and milky and delicious.
he likes it cheesy and full of bacon and delicious.
see, both are delicious.
but sometimes i want mine soupy.
so when he’s gone, i treat myself.
i make a box of mac n cheese, i pour in extra milk, sit on the couch, slurp my soupy cheesy noodles right from the pan while catching up on dancing with the stars.
my life is rough.

{note: i am always happy to see him when he comes home.
i love sitting on the couch reading with him.
i love crying over sad movies while he holds me (and may or may not cry himself).
i love making him dinner (usually)
but i also love my soupy mac n cheese.
it’s a good balance}
