10 Things To Do When You Get Home Instead of Eating Everything In Your Fridge

1. Avoid the kitchen

Out of sight, out of mind...right? Although the more you try not to think about the leftover chocolate cake, the more you keep thinking about it...

2. Drink water...a lot of it

If you drink enough water you will feel so bloated you may not even need to eat dinner!

3. Exercise/Stretch

Exercise? Did you mean fall of the couch in a not so elegant way when you find out about a possible musical episode of The Flash/Supergirl?

4. Get work done

The downward spiral of making calls, answering emails, opening mail. Its almost like you haven't left the office!

5. Nap

MAKE SURE YOU SET AN ALARM! Or you will wake up at 3am craving steak and mashed potatoes.

6. Watch Cat videos

The internet is a wonderful, magical realm full of funny videos and endless online shopping. Here is a link to one of my favorite cat videos:

7. Run errands until its actually time to eat

If you keep putting of that shopping list, you may run out of food in the fridge to avoid anyway!

8. Read a book

Preferably not a cook book

Although everyone should be interested in this book:

9. Watch TV

Probably not the Food Channel...or the Bachelor(it will make you go get that ice cream or popcorn you've been thinking about since you got home...#CorrineIsHorrible)

10. Give up and go raid the leftovers

Let's face it, it was bound to happen eventually, why put off the inevitable? Plus, now you're really thinking about that leftover chocolate cake...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
