Living the Single Life Once Again

This week The BF and the "pseudo" stepkids went camping with out...not because we were fighting or anything bad had happened but because I had to work and to be honest I am not a fan of the camping experience.

When it was decided that everyone but Tashi, Tigger and I would go camping I was so very excited....this meant alone time lots and lots of alone time for me. 

I made plans. First the liquor store for a bottle of wine, then the store for easy peasy dinners that are over priced but yummy. Then I went home.

When I got there the family was already gone so the house was eerily quite...just one dog and the cat were waiting for me. I thought to myself this is just like when I was single...woot woot. 

It was a little unnerving for it to be so quite (our house is never that quite) but soon I was embracing it dancing around in my underwear drinking a glass of wine. I watched TV I wanted to watch with out worrying about content or if anyone else would like it. 

It sounds lovely doesn't it and it was for awhile but the later it got the lonelier I got. I had no one to talk to but the dog and while she listens to everything I say she is not much of a conversationalist. Then I started to get freaked out by the quite and that I was in the house all by myself. 

I went through the house double and triple checking all the windows and doors making sure they were all locked and secure. I then locked myself in the bedroom with the dog and cat as added protection. But as I lay in that big bed all by myself I thought...I am not enjoying this nearly as much as I thought I would.

I no longer wish for my solitary single girl ways. 

My Last Night

Tonight is my last night at my sisters. As of Friday I will be all moved out taking everything with me including the cat.

On Tuesday my mom was a little sad when she realized I won’t be spending Tuesday evening with her to watch NCIS and NCIS: Los Angles. We watch it for the same reason; there are hot men. Admittedly we like different men and she doesn’t think Chris O'Donnell is yummy (which is wrong because he so is). To be honest she doesn’t think any of them are yummy but she does think Mark Harmon is good looking. I think they are yummy and would watch no matter what it was about. I told her that I could stay late if I wanted to.

I then started thinking about The BF and that I am having a hard time reconciling my long independent single ways with those of my committed relationship ways. To be honest I don’t have committed relationship ways I am making them up as I go. I have been doing things on my own for awhile and I am use to only thinking about me, me, and me. So the idea of someone waiting at home for me is a little new and weird. I hope I don’t forget he is waiting.

I bet I do.

Back When I was a Single Girl.

I am an avid reader, in case you hadn't noticed from the constant book reviews I post. Recently I decided to check and see how many books I have read over the last few years.

• 2008 read 123 books with 43102 pages*
• 2009 read 129 books with 45363 pages
• 2010 read 59 books with 23014 pages
• 2011 so far I have read 40 books with 12901 pages**

Guess which years I was single!!!!

* I didn't add these up Goodreads will keep these stats for you.
** I may be reading a lot of books but they are mostly small books with 350 or less pages.
