Dan had to work late today. While I dislike him being at work so late and having to work so much overtime... I have to admit... I kind of like being left unsupervised for a few hours.
Usually, when I am left on my own for dinner, I'll eat popcorn. I absolutely love all popcorn. It could even be stale - I really don't care.

| While I have not yet attempted popcorning in this style, it appears to be the best idea since bendy straws. |
One of my favorite places to eat popcorn has become the bathtub. I'll pour in some bubble bath, set up my iPad, watch Netflix, and eat popcorn. It's one of my happy places.
The last time Dan was going to be home after dinner, he asked I not eat just popcorn for dinner. He knows me so well. Instead, I ate Honey Nut Cheerios out of the box. (I'm an adult!)
I find myself eating Cheerios from a box fairly frequently. I'm terrible at remembering or making time to pack my lunch for school. I don't have a terribly long lunch hour (it's more like 25 minutes), so going out to get fast food everyday is out of the question. Sometimes I manage to run out and grab a burger. However, I'm usually left to scrounge. I keep some junk food in Narnia (my classroom closet). Sometimes, I'll have enough change to get Pop Tarts from the snack machine. Usually, though, I'll just munch on dry cereal from a box.
Sometimes, when left to myself, I feel compelled to get all Do-It-Yourself. This is never a good idea. Though, that has rarely stopped me. I'll just be sitting, thinking, "Hey, I wonder what is behind that wallpaper?" and just start going to town, ripping it off the wall.

| The bathroom still doesn't have paint or new wallpaper... |
I have since been banned from any more DIY home projects until I have fixed the bathroom. This is a shame since I have discovered Disney wall paint, complete with LOTS of glitter.
An alternative to home destruction or pruning while popcorning which I like to indulge in is shopping. This is sometimes a reasonable venture. I try not to put myself in stores where I can cause too much damage to my bank account. The dollar store is usually my best bet. You'd be amazed what you can find at a dollar store! There are some great stores near my school which sell school supplies and other things teachers may need. I usually end up coming home with some sort of art supply or piece of junk I plan to glue shells or beads onto.
Today, I went shoe shopping. Therapeutic shoe shopping is/isn't a good idea for reasons I'm sure you can imagine. That being said, I bought some great BOC cork wedges (I hate cork/wedges, but liked these...), and some Seychelles heels to match my 1920's dress for when I go see Gatsby.
Most of the time, when I'm left alone, I end up just reading a book. I love to read, so this works out for me quite well. Speaking of which, I've got 7 books going right now (no lie, check my Goodreads profile) which I've got to work on. Adios!
