For those that don't know, I am now a fan of Desperate Housewives. It started around August when I was randomly watching repeats before school started. Then John got me the first season on DVD and it's been crazy ever since. I do still need seasons 3 and 4, but watched season 5 on TV anyway.
Long story short, Bree is the best housewife. I adore her! And this, from the finale, just did me in with giggles:
"The man put chives in my Parisian salad! He should be in a straight-jacket!"

Not a military wife
Well, not a wife at all actually, but I have realized that I was right when years ago I said I couldn't handle being with someone in the military. There is no way I could be left alone for long periods of time.
I feel kind of wimpy, whining about being alone. I am usually such a strong, confident person. But this week I'm a total nut case. I do like being alone sometimes, but usually my alone time ends when someone comes home. Not having anyone else home for days is not good for me. Every noise makes me investigate what it was so I don't start imagining people in my back yard. I haven't been sleeping well at all.
I'm now preparing for the possible freak out that could happen if we do get the scary storms that are expected. I imagine the power will go out and I will be all alone in the dark. And that won't be fun. See-wimpy. I used to love storms! What the heck?!
I am actually dealing with the loneliness better today. It's half over, so I can see the end is near. And I've just kept myself busy with phone calls, catching up with TV, and cleaning. So I am capable of dealing with an empty house. I just don't like it.

Cape Henlopen
John's flight to San Fransisco was super early Sunday morning. That meant we got up at 10 til 5 (yes, am). After not going to bed to know knows when (around 1am?) I dropped him off and then came home and tried to get some more sleep. It didn't go well. I got some, but not a lot.
Knowing that I am prone to panic attacks or just general loneliness, I knew I needed to plan as many activities as possible for while he was gone. Most of those things are around the house stuff to just occupy my time (ie, mop the kitchen floor). That won't totally keep me from being lonely since it'll still be in the quiet house, but it helps.
Anyway, Sunday my friend Rob and I decided to take an adventure to the beach. We ended up at Cape Henlopen in Lewes, Delaware. This was a very nice park-at least where we were. We stayed at the not-so-crowded beach. We had a nice picnic and just sat by the water talking. I even got a little sun. Thank goodness for the gorgeous weather!
