LIVING ALONE MEANS...

Living alone is not something I ever planned on. I honestly have never done it before until after my divorce. The closest I came to living alone was having my own dorm room in college. Even then I was surrounded by close to 20 other girls.

Now that I am living alone for the first time in my young adult life, I thought I'd embrace the experience. There are some perks to living alone and I think for the most part I enjoy it. It does get lonely and there are times I would like to walk into my living room and talk to a person face-to-face, but for now, phone calls and FaceTime will just have to do.

Here are some of my favorite things of living alone. Maybe you can relate...

1. Cooking for myself. I usually enjoy cooking and it's nice to cook what I want. It's also nice to eat dinner on the living room couch occasionally...

2. My own flexible cleaning schedule. I love to come home (and wake up) to a tidy apartment. I have my own little cleaning schedule, however I can change it up whenever I want to.

3. Some serious privacy. No longer do I share my space with another have to keep things "ladylike". I just like to let it hang out, ya know?

4. Lots of time to think...and practice my winning argument skills.

5. Decorating for myself is awesome. I can choose how I want to decorate. I don't care if it looks like actual estrogen took up residence in my apartment...

I still do this though....

SATURDAZE

source 

You know that moment at the end of a long week where you just throw your hands up and say, "It's the weekend. I'm done!" Well, now is that moment.

Saturday is also known as my Saturdaze. I am lazy, recouping, relaxing, and watching way too much Netflix. I feel a little guilty for being lazy, so to compensate I blow dry & curl my hair. Now, that's an accomplishment. Have you seen my hair? If not, I should show you guys a pic...Not right now though.

Here's to a lot of coffee. A lot of lounging. A lot of Netflix. A lot of nothing.
