So it's February now and the stores are brimming with chocolates, stuffed animals, Valentine cards and enough pink and red to blind a person. And typical of nearly every year in my life I don't have a significant other for the 14th. But this year, rather than drown my sorrows in a pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream, I'm going to celebrate all the things I like about being single. And I made a list of them. So, without further ado (but in no particular order) here is reason number one:
1. I get the bed all to myself.
I can spread out, lay whichever way I want, toss and turn and never once worry about being a space invader or waking someone else up.
All the pillows are mine and I can surround myself with as many as I need.
All the blankets are mine and you better believe I'll be piling on more if it's cold or pushing them off when it's hot.
I don't have someone else's cold feet poking me and I'm not annoying them with mine.
I can deck out my bed in purple flowery sheets and no one will protest.
When I go to bed late at night I'm not waking anyone up. And nobody wakes me with their before-the-sunrise schedule.
And best of all - I don't have to listen to anyone snoring!
I find that the one place I feel most single is when I have the bed to myself. But you make a good list of reasons that is also a good thing. Although I do have dogs that snore. :)
ReplyDeleteI've had the bed to myself (except for the dogs) for so long now that I don't even know how I would sleep with someone else again. One of the things I do appreciate about being single is that I do not have to answer to anyone about my schedule.
ReplyDeleteI hate Valentines Day! Even when I had a partner...it's good to look at the bright side of being single!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea celebrating singledom. I love this reason too.
