Maria woke the next morning around 11am. She yawned and stretched in her bed before getting up to wash her face.
"Ahhh," she moaned softly as she towel dried her face. Running her fingers through her hair she left the guest bathroom and bedroom, and headed into the kitchen.

She found a note on the fridge after flicking on the light switch. Maria read the note aloud. "Dear Maria, There's cereal in the top left cabinet and milk in the fridge. Hope that's good enough. Bryan." She set the note down and opened the fridge, pulling out the milk. "I love cereal so it's good enough for me." Stretching for the top cabinet, she opened it and pulled out the box of Apple Jacks. "Mmmm."

She opened two more cabinets before finding the bowls, and she found the silverwear in the drawer in front of her. After pouring a bowl of cereal she plopped down in front of the sofa.
"Let's check today's weather...." Click Click Click Click Click "There it is..."
"Today's forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a temperature of 74 degrees.
After that Maria found the movie Dodgeball playing on Comedy Central. Once that was over, and after a second bowl of cereal, she headed into her room to shower.

"Think I'll go take a peek at the cooking shows on TV," she said to herself as she washed her hair. "Hmmmmm mmmm mmmm, mmmm mmmm mmmm," she hummed.

Maria got out, dried off, wrapped her hair in a towel, and put on a simple green cotton dress. Again she plopped down in front of the sofa and channel surfed until she found what she was looking for. "Wonder how long Bryan has to work today..."
"Today on Sweet Treats we're going to be making double chocolate delight cupcakes." That caught her attention.
"Oooo. I can make those for Bryan..." And for the next few hours her eyes were glued to the TV.
