Living alone but not single, huh?

So I've always prided myself in being a self sufficient single gal and never thought I'd get married.  But then I met a guy that could keep up with me and before I new it I was married.  Now I'm spending my 1st year as a newly wed ALONE!  I was thinking this will be a breeze, I'm use to living alone, I've got this!  What I didn't realize that it's one thing to live alone and be single and it's another thing to be alone and married.  Anyway, now that I'm done with my pitty party here are a few things I've started doing now that I'm settling in to my psuedo single life that I couldn't get away with before :-)

1.  Picking movies out to watch on Netflix who's only qualification might be a hot guy with a six pack in it, and not getting the rolling of the eyes :-)  Face it guys no girl really liked the X-Men:Wolverine Movie!!

2. Eat whatever I want whenever I want or not eat or cook at ALL!!!  Sometimes for dinner I may have chips and salsa and that's it, or trying to live an entire 3 weeks off nothing except for my organic produce, I swear I think my skin turned green from all the juicing and kale I ate.

3.  Wake up early to and get my workout done without the whining of why can't we every sleep in, or why can't we just have one lazy day?

4. I can steel the covers and toss and turn all I want without getting yelled at.  I may or may not have let the dog take over his side of the bed from time to time, although I came to regret this the night she puked all over my bed :-)

5. If I don't feel like getting fully dressed I don't!  Now you may think why wouldn't you walk around naked if your husband is in the house he would love it?  Well, you see even those of us who outwardly give off an aura of confidence have their little quirks and can be self conscious.  So when I think of people walking around and doing stuff naked it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where his girlfriend is trying to fix the bike or open the pickle jar!

6.  Some people may skip a shower here or there, not that I would ever do that! Or not shave on a regular basis, TMI??????  Sorry...


7.  Without a smelly dirty boy around you don't have to clean as often, buy as many groceries, and get to spend as much as you want on clothing!

8.  Finding great gal pals and getting to spend lots of quality time talking about girl stuff, you know running, sales on exercise clothes, getting to race weight, no that's just me?

9.  Leaving my half drank diet Dr. P around without getting scolded for never finishing it

10.  Play my latin pop music so loud that I don't have to make myself suffer with my singing (yes I'm that bad) all while doing a crazy dance that makes my dog go bonkers and do this weird thing that's kind of between a growl, yelp and yoddle because she doesn't know what to do with me! 

So all that fun stuff put aside, I really do miss him and can't wait to hopefully have him back just in time for our 1 year anniversary!

What do you do when you get the house to yourself?
