5am – Get up. Brandon eats cereal in front of the TV and watches football highlights from last night’s heartbreaker while I check email.

530am – Maddy sits right next to my chair and Suh starts barking. Signs they are ready to go out in the morning cold. It’s 35F today.

630am – Brandon heads to work. 7-3pm at the Halfway House. I finish puttering around on the computer and start puttering around the house.

7-10am – Clean bathroom. Dust. Pull up very frozen flowers from front garden.

1030am – Shower. Let the dogs back in. More computer puttering looking for a Christmas present for Brandon… Something I can afford that he wants, but won’t buy for himself.

12pm – Check TV to see what games are on. Choose Titans at Colts. Make oatmeal for lunch. Add snickerdoodle cookies (from Wal-Mart bakery and totally awesome!) for dessert.

130pm – Mute TV. Nap. Cross-stitch.

315pm – Brandon comes home and warms up leftovers for lunch.

4pm – Do some study question exams online while Brandon works on MBA homework.

6pm – Quick-fix-fend-for-yourself dinner on one of Brandon’s breaks. Watch NFL highlights while eating.

7pm – Fall asleep on the couch while watching a movie on TV with Jennifer Connolly.

8pm – Turn off Christmas tree, brush teeth, go to bed.

12am – Brandon finally finishes his homework and comes to bed.

I think you can see why I like Sundays more than Brandon… Most weekends should involve more studying for me, but it’s December and every day off feels like I should be cozy on the couch, bathed in the glow of Christmas lights, drinking eggnog and humming carols. Can you believe it’s only 18 days until Christmas?!
