Ain't No Sunshine When He's Gone

Jon's in SF right now for a training which means for the next three days it's Kateland. Which would be more fun if Kateland didn't consist of studying nonstop. Stupid test.

When Jon's gone I get to eat food I want and watch commercial television. Jon hates commercial television - unless of course its on Fuel TV. Then he can watch commercial after commercial. I am very much enjoying 3 full days of not having to watch surfing. Of course I would enjoy it more if I weren't studying nonstop. Stupid test.

When Jon's gone my Eastern European "throw everything in a pot and cook it" heritage comes in hard core. Its my version of "comfort food." I call it mash and its usually contains potatoes, which are my second favorite starch. Its also a great way to get rid of leftovers in a dish Jon usually isn't so interested in. I think its the fact that nothing is separate. Never bothered me.
