Man I'm lazy

I've been reading other blogs lately instead of writing my own. But I'm mostly still adjusting to living just with Tony and not Tony and Amanda. Grocery shopping is the hardest. I can shop for one, and I can shop for three, but it's tough to shop for two, or 1-1/2 which is the reality since That Boy can put some food away. I went to the grocery store yesterday evening, didn't have a list, and proceeded to wander about for 30 minutes or so in sort of a fog. Well, I had a list, but it consisted of:
detergent (check)
dryer sheets (check)
OxiClean (check at Target later)
produce (half-check; I got fruit but no mushrooms or potatoes both of which I had been considering)
Kleenex (which I completely forgot, and I'm sneezing up a storm today).

I spent $82 and I'm pretty sure I'll be headed back again soon for stuff I forgot.

On the (I suppose) brighter side, we are getting more used to not havingh Amanda here. I miss her still, and sometimes something happens on TV or I'm reading something that want to share with her, and I can't and it's weird. I can't just call her whenever I want to; she doesn't get to use her phone during the day. I can email her, but she's not even getting online every day and mostly seems OK with that. When I was able to watch Grey's Anatomy last week (on Friday ~ love the DVR), I wanted to pick up the phone and ask her what she thought, but I don't know if she was able to watch it. For a long time, she was the person I talked to most about TV and movies and stuff, and Tony and I don't watch the same things, so that's the adjustment I'm having to make.

I am (with mom) going to go see her in a few weeks, though. I've already requested a Sunday off (it happens to be Easter Sunday, which I don't celebrate; I was actually going by Tony's rugby calender to find a good weekend), and mom and I are hoping that the snow is out of the passes so the drive isn't too bad. I think we're both excited about the visit, and not just because of the list of things she wants me to bring her.

Getting (yet) another tattoo today, this one will be #5. I took a WW buddy to see Luis on Saturday morning to get her first tattoo (and gift to herself for losing 55 pounds and becoming a WW Lifetime Member), and was hoping to get my new one then, but he was really busy. So we set up my appointment for today. For anyone who reads Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter books, the symbol will be instantly recognizable. It'll be at the bottom of my neck/very top of my back, which I think it fitting. I read somewhere recently that a fair number of her fans have the symbol tattooed on them somewhere, so it's hardly original, but still. I've been wanting it for a while, and now seems like the time.
