Hi there!
Last week R was in beautiful Santa Barbara for work and I was stuck holding down the K household. While I really missed him, there is one upside to having the house to yourself when you are a part of a married/co-habitating couple: secret single behavior!!!
My personal secret single behavior consists of:
1.) Eating non-meals for meals. Last week I had a chocolate banana peanut butter protein smoothie for dinner two nights in a row. Another time for lunch I made myself an open-faced fried egg and cheese sandwich, on a whim. That whole "making a meal with an entree and side dish that has meat, veggies, etc" goes completely out the window.
small but satisfying lunch ala Mrs Type A
2.) Watching movies/shows my husband won't watch with me. I think this is a given for most women. I tend to choose chick flicks I've seen one too many times (i.e. Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Ghost, etc.) or period era movies (i.e. Elizabeth, Shakespeare in Love, etc.) that R isn't a fan of. Last week I dvr'ed and watch Eat.Pray.Love. for the third or fourth time.
3.) Going to bed early. I like to go to sleep earlier than R. He likes to watch tv for a good while before bed, whereas I'd rather just skip it, read, and go to sleep. Last week I climbed into bed by 10 most nights with no shame.
4.) Reading magazines. Last week I got the new Elle Decor and Dwell in the mail and happily spent some me-time curled up on the couch with them.
5.) A night cap. R and I regularly have a beer after the gym, but this week I picked up the fixins for a proper old fashioned - whiskey, orange, and sugar cubes, and combined it with the lemon bitters we have and R's whiskey stones for a legit cocktail to sip on and indulge in!
What is your secret single behavior??



I totally do 1, 2, 3, and 5! I like Downton Abbey and Glee. And I eat beans, lentils, cilantro, and blue cheese while he's gone (not all together... hmmm).
ReplyDeleteI also like taking long walks or singing out loud at home. My Mister doesn't like walking and I don't want to bug him with my voice (and I have some shame!).
