To paraphrase Jane Austen, that is a truth universally acknowledged!


It sounds like Alpinerabbit is having a fine time. No matter how honest, relaxed and close your spousal/mate/whatever relations are, for some of us, there's just something about having the house to yourself. I think a lot of people are a LITTLE different in behavior when no one's around.

I agree with SalsaBike, when DH is out looking for new equipment for the business, I usually get a day or 2 by myself..called relaxation! I eat cold cereals for all my meals, stay in my jammies if I can, watch the tv as I finally have control of the remote.. i'm total slob-just don't tell my secret!!

Lee was away one Thanksgiving, and my Thanksgiving dinner that year consisted of a large bag of Sour Cream & Onion potato chips and a bottle of chardonnay.
