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

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.

One of the reasons I have a cleaning woman is so that once a week I'm forced to straighten up the clutter. Otherwise, my house would be a nightmare!

I'm just messier .. longer..when he's not around. He is actually abit of a neat freak. ..which makes him more inclined to do cleaning more frequently. It probably all stems from his lifelong allergies to mold, dust, etc.
Otherwise my personal indulgences / junk desires, are no different when he's around.
