An attached girl's take on single living

Ammon was out of town all weekend.  He comes back tonight.  Remember how last week I talked about how I wanted to do a tongue in cheek post about the things that you can do when you're single that are really hard in a long-term relationship?  Well, after a couple of days of living that dream, I can safely share with you now.  I hope all you non-single ladies can nod your heads, chuckle, and remember the days before your behind took an accidental 3am plunge.

1)  I alluded to it above:  Not having to worry about that stupid toilet seat.

2)  The thermostat.  It's all yours.  Alllllllllllllllllllllll yours.  No worrying about setting it, walking away, and ten seconds later that man friend sidling up and changing it back.

3)  You get to have complete control of the blankets.  No fighting anyone for more or less blankets, no compromises about which blankets are and are not needed on the bed.

Okay, it's a lie:  You will still have to fight the cat for bed space.  But it's better than the below thief:

 This guy likes to steal pillows.  All of the time.

4)  There is no one to judge when you spend 3+ hours at the craft store.

 The dollar bins by the register are always the best part.

5)  Similarly, there is no one to judge when you have a 3 hour skype date Friday night, and then a 4 hour long girl's craft night Saturday night.

6)  You can put emergency ice cream in the freezer, and know for a fact that it will be there for an actual emergency.

I can't tell you how much I wish I had done this over the weekend... but sugar and I are on a break-up right now.  Sigh.

7)  Your cat is the only one around to judge you when you watch "Mean Girls", simply in order to feel better about your own life.

8)  You don't have to worry about super secret, super cute February surprises being ruined.  Like, how you had been planning on leaving man friend a love note every day of the month, then he goes and {publicly} demands a love letter in your blog comments.  Totally rude.

Since I still have a few hours of "the single life", I'm going to pass them doing the same wedding crafting crap that has taken up the rest of my single girl's weekend.  I know you all must be amazed at how much of a party animal I am.  Don't worry, it's totally normal =).  Have a great MLK day!
