Day 9: Your favorite “weird/funny single behavior” – Anything you do that is uniquely YOU and that living alone allows you to do

Day 9:      Your favorite “weird/funny single behavior” – Anything you do that is uniquely YOU and that living alone allows you to do (For example, I sometimes dance around the house with my cat to Frank Sinatra)

I have my kids 24/7, I don't get the chance to walk around in my chonies very often... If I were alone I would be walking around naked and sleeping in the nude.  If I were in a relationship, I would be doing the same thing.

The only thing that I do, that I may not do if I were in a relationship is stay in my pajamas all day on Sundays.  It's my only day off, where I don't have to take my kids anywhere or do anything.  If I need to go to the grocery store, I will drag my feet until the late afternoon.  I'm also kind of messy.  I am not very domestic at all.  I would rather do anything than clean or cook.  If it wasn't for my kids, I would rarely cook for myself.  I would survive on cereal and salad and water and coffee.  My mother would often say to my boyfriends, when I was a teenager, "I hope you will be rich because you are going to need a maid and a cook."  Don't get me wrong, I actually do enjoy cooking now.  I've come a long way from my fear of the kitchen.  Actually, it wasn't fear rather more like loathing of the kitchen.  I also would feel the pressure of having to please whomever I cooked for.  I have have come a long way from the loathing.  Again, I do enjoy it but given the choice of cooking or eating out, I'd eat out.  I would rather be served than having to make a mess in my kitchen and having to take time away from my relaxing and general laziness.  I always say, "Of all the Goddess' I embody, the domestic Goddess is not one of them."  

I also talk to myself when I'm alone.  I just kind of say things aloud and make statements.  I talk to the plants and flowers and trees and the birds that I come in contact with.  I would probably still do the same thing if I were with someone.  I'm sure they would find it cute and endearing. 

I sleep with a stuffed Stormtrooper.  I wouldn't mind cuddling up with a real one but in the mean time, he will suffice.  If I had a boyfriend, I honestly giggle at the sound of that, I would leave my stuffed Stormtrooper on my bed and when my boyfriend is over Lil Stormtrooper would be sitting on my nightstand keeping guard while we sleep.  

I am who I am.  Love me or don't.  I'm sure our personal behaviors change a bit when we are in relationships but I would hope that we as humans are true to our Selves.  If the people we date really love us, they will accept us wholeheartedly, flaws, quirks and all.
