Pizza, soda, and cookies for dinner!

I would make dinner tonight except I went to bed around 2 am and woke up at 6 am for work. And if you know me, you know I don't run well on little sleep. The thought of cooking what I had in mind would take way too long. And I am far too tired to do that. So, pizza toast, CC Lemon, and chocolate chip cookies for dinner it is!

In college, that was normal. But I'm supposed to have a schedule and routine as a working person. It's not like I have spontaneous adventures in the middle of the night...except for last night. We had our end-of-the-season rubber boots ice hockey dinner. Of course, there was lots of food and alcohol involved. However, knowing I had an early day today, I refrained from drinking and stuck to the grape juice. But, that didn't stop everyone else from having a good time...until 1:30 am. And then realizing my DD was trashed and we ended up walking home at 1:30 am...and it was cold. I wasn't expecting to be outside, so I didn't dress appropriately to be walking home from the other side of the river. I didn't even know things were open at 1:30 am here. But, it was a good time and I'm still semi-awake enough for pizza toast and soda and cookies for dinner.

Nights like tonight really make me appreciate Mom's cooking. I would come home and she would be in the kitchen cooking...every day. Fantastic meals. Salad, bread, veggies, rice (what's an Asian dinner without rice?), entree, fruit, dessert. Every night. Ridiculous. And here I am, no kids to take care of, no carpool to run, no bills to pay--and yet, I am eating pizza toast and soda and cookies for dinner.

At least I don't have to do many dishes, right?

  1. It's okay, moms have magic powers. That is the only reasonable reason why they are so stinkin' amazing. Yes, that is a reasonable reason. :)
