Things I miss about living with my girls
Believe it or not, it is cooking!
I really miss cooking for more than one. Last year when we had a roster - once a week - sure there was still a feeling of mild fear (oops forgot to plan) or inconvenience when it came to our night again but actually it was satisfying for me to cook up a meal for 4 or 5.
You see when you're very tired after 12 hours of work you don't really want to be cooking...or really into making anything too special. But we all had our moments of fish cake and cous cous (for the nights when we were just too tired) and we had our moments of absolute chef-dom - someone actually went to the trouble of making chicken rolled up in bacon once, it was delightful. I think it was Nikita... but we all tried our best to be pre-planned at least once a month.
Eating each others cooking gave me the feeling that we were in it together...it was always exciting to see what was for lunch the next day! And no matter what effort was put in, I always appreciated it. Hmm except when all our lunch boxes got mixed up ;) whose bright idea was it to buy matching lunch boxes? =P
I was Tuesday. Will never forget the mad rush to the kitchen after LCP chat at 9pm!

Awwww, Amy... this post made my day! :)(Slightly sick on IPM Day -1!!) Miss you and the girls heaps!
You are right - i rather cook for more too; gets a bit tiring cooking every day. Basically I stopped and lunch out every day.
AND: I was Monday!!
A good excuse to go home early, cook and watch some good MOnday night shows. :)
I feel a little bit like I'm crashing in on your party, but gosh, you know, I think I'm going to miss cooking too. Not sure if I'm going to miss the meals (the boys are a little lazy sometimes :p) but I will miss the cooking.
hey no worries at all Sneha :) join the party! always welcomed. Monday night tv was greys anatomy ;) followed by the ghost whisperer haha
hugs, miss you too nikita, so jealous you get to see kristi in Rep of Mace!
Ho ho ho, Sunday is now the day, baby! Ugly Betty, Grey's and Men in Tree! All the Monday shows have moved to Sunday. Yay for that! Will write a long as email update later on! So watch out for that.
