    When DH is gone, I OFTEN eat nachos or cheese and crackers for dinner.  And if I go for a run, I'll literally stay in my sweaty clothes for hours if I know I won't see anyone (gross, I know).

    Does anyone have any single behavior when SO is away?

    Red wine and popcorn for dinner. But not just popcorn. Microwave light butter popcorn, WITH a chunk of real butter that's been melted drizzled on top. At least when I buy it I have good intentions...

    SO thinks I'm a very quiet reserved person. However when I'm in my car alone I sing at the top of my lungs, which is actually pretty loud contrary to popular belief.

    I watch tv super loud.  I think I am getting hard of hearing or maybe I just like to watch tv really loud.  And when he is not home I leave the tv on all day for company, even if I am not watching it.

    Sometiems I will try on my clothes to try and come up with different outfits and to make sure my skinny jeans still fit.  I will also eat at his computer while I am using it.   shhhhh I am not suppose to do that.

    When we didnt live together I would never fold my clothes or hang them up.  I would just have a basket for clean and a basket for dirty.  I know, I am bad, but I was in college so it didnt matter if my clothes were wrinkled.  I dont do that anymore.

    The dinner thing, that's the main thing that I do differently when FI isn't home.  I will have cheese and crackers or tortilla chips with refried beans and cheese melted on top for dinner instead of a real meal.  It's kind of my favorite:)

    Eating is the worst when I'm by myself. I'll eat an odd assortment of things.

    Also if I'm left alone I'll spend hours "organizing" things. It'll start by needed to put away folded laundry and then I'll clean out all my drawers and reorganize them by color then move to the closet, or I'll be putting away my curling iron and then I decide to clean out my entire makeup box and wipe down every tube.

    the dinner thing is my main bad behavior as well.  I'll eat a whole container of Hagen Daaz ice cream for dinner or that really bright orange queso cheese dip.  Also, I'll watch super bad or girly shows and make a marathon out of it, (like 6 Say Yes to the Dress in a row).  I feel so guilty afterwards.

    I'm sitting in my sweaty gym clothes right now and I've definitely had time to change.

    I eat different too, but only in that I eat large amounts of food that I love and FI isn't too fond of, like Indian and Thai food.

    Oh, and I hardly ever sit up.  I'm either laying on the couch or in bed.

    I totally eat different! I'm a total grazer... a little bit of this and that and some of whatever that is over there, and then some chocolate.

    If I don't have anything that I need to do, then sometimes I will stay in my pajamas all day and watch movies/tv. Sometimes it's really nice to just relax and do nothing for an entire day.

    I also like to google pictures of whoever I think is sexy at the moment.

    when the hubby's away, dinner is usually popcorn - maybe with some cantaloupe if I'm feeling particularly virtuous

    In the media    June 29, 2013   Indiana, but wedding in St. Louis

    I'l stay in my PJs all day or wear the same shirt 2 or 3 days in a row if I know he isn't going to be around. Though I'm not sure he would notice if I did that when he was here.

    @Amani: I do that. I dane around and sing songs i make up about whatever I'm doing. "Oh, I'm gonna put the dishes in the dishwasher. La la la." It may not be single behavior but lunatic behavior. :D  I'll be the first to admit sometimes I'm a touch off the rocker.

    If BF isn't around, I'll have Taco Bell for dinner. He won't let me have Taco Bell. Too many calories. Bad Taco Bell. But I do it! And it is yuuuummmmmmyy!

    If I am alone and there is chocolate it's gone hahaha.

    When I am alone and I am doing something I talk to myslef. Nothing like "Do you like to clean, yes I like to clean" more like "Ok, next I am going to wash the kitchen floor." Sometimes I do this when SO is home, I will talk to myself about what I am doing and he thinks I am talking to him.

    ETA- If I am alone and there is a wedding show marathon, you better believe that I am going to watch that entire marathon.

    haha I clean and listen to TV news all day.  I feel weird and self conscious cleaning when he's home because I clean like a crazy lady.  I vacuum the sofa, pull out all the cushions etc.  Vacuum the top of the mattress before putting new sheets on while listening to NPR (no TV upstairs, just NPR - and sometimes I talk back to it when something I really care about comes on... nothing would freak him out more than me suddenly yelling "no way!" I think).  I start big renovation projects.

    I find it impossible to clean the bathroom properly with him around or fix the stuff in the house.  It's because he thinks I am "dainty" and he gets self conscious when I am better at the guy stuff than him.  

    Feasibly I guess I could do these things when he's home.  It's not like he would stop me but I just feel weird.  Also I have been known to do these things downstairs when he is sleeping upstairs.

    @JenniMichele: My FI would be soooooo happy to see my looking at pictures of hockey players, then at least maybe I would watch a whole game with him

    If my FI is not around I tend to watch either reality tv or things like Antiques Roadshow, totally oppostie but both so good. I also like to lay in bed under the covers and drink tea and read, much to hard to do with him home in our studio apt.

    It's kind of sad, but I wear bras and panties that totally clash, and laugh to myself about it all day. Like, blue with big green polka dots bra and orange with little white polka dots undies. I find stupid stuff funny though, and would be embarrassed for J to see me SO mismatched.

    I don't cook at all (Fi's a chef), so if he isn't around, it's cereal for dinner.

    I watch chick flicks and tv shows that FI hates.  I wish FI did this, too, because we're currently watching "The Best of the Best 2" which I couldn't care less about.

    I have a mini-spa night.  I pluck my eyebrows, deep condition my hair (I have this microwave heat cap thingie that I won't use while FI is around because I look like a Conehead), I give myself a mani/pedi, and I use my alien green face mask.

    I buy a wedding magazine and read it all before he gets back because he hates that I read any type of girl magazine (he says it damages my self esteem, which is probably true).

    Oh my - i have alot!

    1. I eat melted cheese on ritz crackers at every available opportunity.  I'm pretty sure i undo at least 6-7 hours of exercise everytime my fiance is away

    2. I watch the movie Stick It, and rewind and watch the parts i like over and over and over

    3.  I fart at will

    4.  I use the blade thingy to get the dead skin off the bottom of my feet and marvel at the amount i can produce

    5.  I obsess over my eyebrows in a magnifying mirror

    6.  I clean my e-ring much more than i should, so that its always super sparkly

    7.  I sleep spread out like a starfish in my ugliest, most comfortable pyjamas.

    I still live with my parents to save up money, but when I'm alone I'll turn on Lady Gaga and dance around my room and try on my super cute clothes that I never actually wear anywhere. If I'm not as energetic I'll turn on the history or the syfy channel and veg out.

    Hahahaha I love this.

    I look up songs on the interenet and then totally rock out to them, and sing super loud, haha.

    I clean while listening to music, and I clean hardcore. (If I cleaned hardcore while listening to music and rocking out to it while Fi was home he would think I was strange.)

    I play video games, which I hardly ever do when FI is home, haha.

    and veg out and watch my girly shows on the couch, and read magazines, and all that other girly goodness. :)

    The dog and I get McDonalds--yep, she gets her own small fry, or if she's lucky and I have been out with friends at the bar, a small fry and a cheeseburger. I lay on the couch in my undies, go to the bathroom with the door open and sometimes won't shower all day. I also break the cardinal house rule and smoke in the house and just generally be a slob.
