My Day Without Ashley

Why is it that I write about Ashley more often when she's not around than when she is? Is it because I miss her so much? That I'm more aware of her absence? I anxiously anticipate her return because I don't know what to do without her?

Alas, Ashley was away from me for the day. She left with her mother, sister, and a whole bunch of other women she didn't know for New York City. Luckily, it was only for a day (WHEW!). I've been without her since Friday night and she's riding back as I type.

Me? I'm pretty helpless without her. Evidently my father-in-law is just as helpless without Ashley's mother, too. So we joined forces to take care of one meal today. In my constant effort to find bbq that's just as good as the stuff down in North Carolina, we tried out a place called Hoggy's in Gahanna. Verdict: slightly disappointed. It was voted one of Columbus' best bbq places and if that's the best they have to offer, then they need to stop and take a roadtrip through the south.

Other than that, I cleaned (WOW!) and I read (what Ashley usually does). In her absence, my subconscious must have tried to recreate conditions similar to when she is around.

Good thing she's back on Sunday!
