that still remember the single life when you didn't have a SO.

This one is for those of us, who are still in the dating world without a SO, but for those that remember some glory days of being single. What were they?

What are 3 or more things you enjoy about being single?

Flirting shamelessly

Going out with friends

Enjoying my TV programs or a great chic flick and not fighting over the remote

Not having to have sex when I don't feel like it or making an excuse(I have a headache) or getting into a discussion about why I am not in the mood

Wearing whatever I feel like without getting the "isn't that a bit to revealing?"

No jealousy tantrums

No curfue which means no discussion of why I decided to be out with friends several hours over my curfue than planned.

The list goes on and on, but I would like to hear some of yours. Next question.....



What are the things you do just because you know a guy won't come by?

I leave my dirty underwear lying around and put on my face masks while running around in the nude. Scarey after two kids! LOL

I am dating someone right now, but it's only been a few months, and we live too far away from each other that he doesn't just drop by. Plus, we only see each other every couple of weeks, so for the rest of the time, it's like I'm single. Here's my list:

- Eating whatever I want whenever I want (Chinese Food for breakfast is good)

- When the kids are asleep, watching whatever I want on TV

- Renting the kinds of movies I like (Clint Eastwood movies are my favorite)

- Not being told what to do (my personal favorite -- I hate being told what to do)

- Splurging on an outfit and not having anyone tell me I shouldn't have.

- Decorate my house MY WAY (which is especially important to me after being with a Mr. Fix It who started 10 projects and finished nothing)

- Being able to work on my crafts or do things for church without someone complaining that I don't spend enough time with them

- Just picking up and going to a family function or out with friends without clearing it with someone else.

What do I do becuase I know a guy won't be coming by? Leave my house messy during the week and do my house cleaning on Sunday.

Hey I'm maried now, but I wanna play too!!!



Flirting shamelessly: I LOVED that!

Going out with friends: I still do that too.

Enjoying my TV programs or a great chic flick and not fighting over the remote: I get to watch what I want without him griping. But I let him watch what he wants without griping too. But it was sooo great to just go home and pick up the remote and watch a chic flick without wondering if he thought it was stupid.

Not having to have sex when I don't feel like it or making an excuse(I have a headache) or getting into a discussion about why I am not in the mood: That's not an issue. If I don't want it, I just say so. It's not a forced issue or hurt feelings. So no, I don't miss sexless days at all.

Wearing whatever I feel like without getting the "isn't that a bit to revealing?": Never had that problem. He likes whatever I wear and no one ever criticized my clothes.

No jealousy tantrums: Shane isn't jealous, but I remember those that were!!

No curfue which means no discussion of why I decided to be out with friends several hours over my curfue than planned: Oh I remember being in that kind of thing. But no more.

The list goes on and on, but I would like to hear some of yours. Next question.....

What are the things you do just because you know a guy won't come by?

I would put on pj pants and tank tops and take off my makeup and put up a ponytail and my glasses on. I'd pop some popcorn and watch a DVD and feel comfy. And not be concerned about bodily functions!

These made me crack up and feel some kind of nostalgia for the single days. ;)


Things I enjoyed about being single:


Not having to cook if I didn't have the kids home!


No dirty underwear on the bathroom floor!


No facial hair in the bathroom sink!


Bathroom always smelled pretty.
