Single in Encinitas

I thought I'd take you on a night in the life of a single girl in Encinitas. ME!

*

So last night it was pouring rain as I drove home and it was dark so I decided to go home, get cozy and ......skip yoga. Dammit. I really wanted to try Andrews class at Yoga Swami but I wasnt feelin' it so I stopped at the store and bought myself some flowers. I wanted Stargazer Lillies cuz they are so pretty and festive and make an entire room smell fresh and girly. Just what the doctor ordered. ahhhhhhhhh

The next thing I did was pour myself a lovely glass of Bogle. Melissa introduced me to this chardonnay and Ive been hooked. Its so light and refreshing and pairs nicely with the bruchetta I made. Mind you, I have never made bruchetta in my life. I had to email Mel and ask her what to do! I had all the fixin's but alas, totally clueless on how to make it. I cut up the bread, poured a little olive oil on the bread and toasted it in the oven. mmmmmmmmmmm

Sidenote: to the left of the picture is a Oil & Vinegar Cruet that came in the mail last night. Ive always wanted one and finally found one online at Allysonskitchen.com. I was so happy when I came home last night to a little gift on my doorstep! My favorite thing is to drive up to my house and look for gifts on my doorstep. Why? I dont know. Am I hoping my future husband will be waiting for me on my doorstep? lol .....I need to get a grip.

Ok, so dinner is ready and Im excited to sit down to my beautiful table to eat ......but first off I need to light the pilot light cuz its about 48 degrees in my house. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I couldnt take it another second!!!! Called my dad and asked where the area was that I lit the match. He was annoyed but told me anyways. (He has lit the pilot light in every house Ive lived in since I was 19. So this was a huge turning point for me to figure it out and do it myself.) So here goes.......

POOF! I did it! OMG I thought for sure I was gonna lose an eyebrow but first try and it lit! Now, lemme tell you how funny this is. Both Emilio and Winston immediately went over to the heater and flopped down next to it. OMG they have been freezing their asses off for weeks now!

Poor guys ....BAD MOMMY!

Lil Emilio so grateful to have heat

Winston just irritated that its taken me this long to light it. He's been sneezing for days hinting to me to just light the damn thing already! So this is Winnie pist and down right frustrated with me.

Cranked that puppy to 90! Everyone is happy. Sheesh.

Another thing us single gals do for ourselves is browse thru Homegoods looking for whatever might jump out at us and make us buy it. This round a 3-pak of Sandlewood diffusers jumped out and forced me to purchse them...........I actually have one in every room now. The only problem with the diffusers is opening the outer box which always has about 20 really annoyingly sticky pieces of tape to keep it irritatingly closed super duper beyond tight. grrrrrrrrrrrrr Then you have to pop off the top of each one, which is also annoyingly stuck in tight and lastly each pair of sticks has 3 pieces of tape on them!

Holy Mary Mother of GOD! Just open already!!!!!!!

Dont Laugh. Last week I took lil Emilio to the vet and they took xrays and it turns out he has bad hips. Poor fella is gonna have to live like this for a while. He isnt in any pain so thats good but he cant jump which means he cant get up on the bed. So I got him some stairs and put them together and showed him how to go up and down. He hated it at first and wouldnt do it but by the end of the night he was crusin up and down like a champ!

Tah dah! Look at me Im almost to the top!

*

Welp thats it. OH YEAH and I wrapped some presents and added ribbon to a few others that looked blah.

Thats the night in the life of this single gal...........
