Things I miss about being single

e-mail to a friend | print this | link to this

Contributed by: Allyson Reedy on 6/6/2007

In honor of my good friends who all just ended serious relationships, I've put together a list of the best parts of being single. Go get 'em tigers!

1. Sprawling out in bed - I really like my space.
2. Watching American Idol (or, for some, not being forced to watch American Idol).
3. Kissing everyone I thought was cute.
4. Free dinners (OK, I guess this would *typically* work against single guys).
5. You can hang out with your friends anytime you want.
6. You can hang out by yourself anytime you want.
7. You can buy outrageously expensive shoes without anyone making you feel guilty.
8. No more roughing it in the desert - you get to pick your next vacation destination!
9. No one will tell you you're wasting your life for playing video games at 3 a.m. Well, except for maybe your mother.
10. Do you like mushrooms on your pizza? Order up the Fungi Fantasy!
11. In the car, you're the dj.
12. No one will yell at you when you leave your dirty clothes on the bathroom floor.
13. If there's crusty toothpaste-spit in the sink, there's a pretty good chance it's yours.
14. Shaving? What's that?
15. No pregnancy scares!
16. Not having to explain why you have to shout the answers at the tv during Jeopardy - you just do.
17. You can tell that story about spring break without someone saying, "Oh no, not this story again!"
18. The energy of 'What will happen next?' and 'What will it be like?'
19. One word - passion.
20. You can decorate your home any way you want!
21. You won't get woken up in the middle of the night by someone's snoring.
22. Summer flings - 'tis the season baby!

Very funny. And one might argue that you could re-title this "Things I miss about not having kids" and have many of the same results. Thanks for the laugh.

Nice, however, you really should make your next posting "Things I love about being attached". The juxtaposition of the two would make for some interesting conversation.
