Pride, prejudice and pizza

My name is Ashley and I just ate a whole Totino's pizza all by myself. At one o'clock in the morning. And I liked it.

See, in the middle of my 9-hour workday, I went to the freezer to pull out my Lean Cuisine only to find that my dinner had been thrown away by the fridge police. It was an extra busy day in the office, with 34 local high school games and a staff that is still two people too small. This meant I didn't have time to leave to get food, so I settled for Gardetto's instead. It was the "healthiest" thing in the vending machine, but it was a bad choice. So I'm starving and my stomach hurts from the crappy vending machine "dinner," and we're working away to make deadline... and then we miss it. By 12 minutes, which is like a week in newspaper time. Everyone was about as happy as my tummy when I finally left the office at midnight.


Matt, being the awesome husband he is, cheered me up and agreed to cook up some cheap pizza so it'd be ready for me when I got home 45-minutes later. It hit the spot.
This reminded me of the last time we ate Totino's pizza (it really isn't often, I swear!). I covered a daytime wrestling meet on a Saturday in December and was miraculously able to be home from work at 8:30 p.m.--just in time for a late dinner. It had been a long, long day, though, and I didn't feel like cooking (which made me feel guilty because I'm never home to cook dinner anymore). So instead, we popped some Totino's in the oven, grabbed some hot cocoa ice cream (heavenly) and cuddled up to watch the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. At that moment, I realized that I am either the worst wife ever, or Matt is the best husband ever to subject himself to such an evening. I think I'll go with the latter.

  3. I like Classic Pepperoni Totino's. Those make me happy. And I have to agree that any husband who happily eats frozen pizza and watches my fav version of P&P is pretty darn AWESOME!!

  6. So pride is a sin, people who are prejudice are bad, and I still have bad memories from Totino's pizza. Glad I wasn't there haha

  7. Wait until the day when everyone is your family is actually sick of pizza because you've had it so often. You're not officially a bad wife until then, so live it up! :)

  9. What a great hubby. Kenneth watches a ton of Jane Austin movies with me...all the time, and I'm pretty sure he hates them all, though he never complains. Sorry about your bad day at work, but aren't we grateful for wonderful husbands who can turn the worst days into great days?

  10. Totinos Pizzas are a staple at my house. Those cheap puppies rock.

    I am going to the store Tonight to buy some Hot Chocolate Ice Cream. Holy Smokes! I had no idea that stuff existed. It will score me a few brownie points with the wife.
