SSB: Secret Single Behavior


Secret Single Behavior: As learned on Sex and the City this is the behavior women become accustomed to while single and find it difficult to give up when in a relationship.

I have found this difficult to get back to but recently I have discovered my favorite SSB

Neely’s Secret Single Behavior:

Getting in PJs when its still light outside, curling up in my chair, with my nuddle, a book or my laptop and a glass(or 3) of wine.

Also being in bed, reading magazines, watching my crappy(yet awesome) reality TV shows

How many of you have SSB? Also what is it? Im curious what your SSB is. If you are married what are the things you used to do when you were single that you do if your husband is out of town and secretly love it? I have talked to a lot of my married friends about this and found some really interesting SSB’s.

I wonder now will I be able to give this up again?

I really love my SSB!

I guess its not so secret now huh?

    The only thing I don’t do that I use to do when I lived alone was listen to music and dance as if I was in a club or whatever lmao. Hey it was a good workout! I have done that since I was a kid..thinking I was Paula Abdul/Janet Jackson.

    PJ’s before the sun goes down is totally on my list. 🙂 Probably the top of it.

    I have a few things that I did in my single days that I do now when husbie is out of town –

    1. Baths + Wine + book/tv – I love our bathroom because I can lay in the tub and watch TV. It’s amazing. I used to read, but I’m paranoid of dropping my nook in the water, so TV is a good substitute. I usually drink mini bottles of sparkling wine. Yum yum!

    2. Take up the ENTIRE bed. Literally. I sleep in the middle in a nest of pillows. It’s awesome.

    3. Get up early and blare the music while I’m getting ready. Husbie sleeps later than I do, so it is really hard to get up and get going. When he’s gone I can turn my music up way loud and get ready as I please.

    I have a love/hate relationship with hunting season. I rarely see the hubs but it gives me a chance to watch marathons of Glee on DVD. 😉

    When my husband is out of town, I live off nachos and watch all the tv shows he would never in a million years have on. But he’s more guilty of putting pj’s on while it’s still light out even though I secretly love it too!

    I’m so blessed that my darling husband NEVER goes out of town. But when he was interviewing for his job up here I thought he might leave me alone for one night and was excited to stay up late and watch whatever I wanted on tv and eat whatever junk I wanted and sleep in. He likes to eat healthy most of the time and can stand some of my crappy tv shows and movies and can sleep in until like 9 am but I like to take it to the extreme!

    The only thing I don’t do but used to do is have random things for dinner…like not full meals. I would just have popcorn or chips and salsa…now we pretty much eat real meals. PJs the minute I get home, curled up with a glass of wine- why mess with a good thing? 🙂

    My SSB when GH is out of town:
    1. Put my pj’s on, hair in a pony tail, face mask, and sip some wine.
    2. Listen to music or the news when I get ready.

    We are both pretty guilty of putting our pj’s on when we get home from work if it’s cold, but when it’s hot we come straight home and put on shorts and t-shirts!

    I have been single for far too long so I have many SSB’s. I eat junk, sing opera-style around my house just for fun, run the vacuum at really late hours, and put on my pj’s as soon as I get home. Those are some that I can share. Others will remain secrets. 😉

  14. Sunday Night Dinners are a favorite SSB of mine. Two or three of us will get together, sit on the floor of one of our tiny apartments, eat Chinese food directly out of the carton, and watch the trashiest movie we can find.
