Before I begin let me state this, I love Husband and adore spending time with him. He is my favorite person. Understood? Good!
With that being said, I am one happy lady tonight. Husband is busy with work stuff tonight (don't feel bad, he's having dinner at a local Country Club) so that means a quiet evening at home. I only had to cook for myself tonight and were under no pre-set routines or schedules. Typically I work to have supper ready by 6:15. Tonight I didn't end up eating until 7 or so and I left a big mess in the kitchen; I've already cleaned it up but it was nice knowing that no one witnessed it or rolled their eyes at my mess. I fixed spaghetti squash with sauce and reheated chicken. I made a lovely salad with tons of extra veggies. And have already fixed a lunch portion of it tomorrow. I am digging spaghetti squash. It's spaghetti with out the carbs or crazy calories.
I have watched hours of Bravo and E!. I have played with Ella. We have just enjoyed each other's company and it has been quiet. The tv has not been on Sports Center once tonight! Victory. And to top off my evening - The Biggest Loser!
Husband should be home later tonight -- maybe 10 or so (late for us). And I will be happy to greet him with a kiss and a hug. But for now my love goes into making pumpkin mini-muffins (for my class) and cheering on the lovely BL contestants.
What do you enjoy doing when you get an evening alone?

I LOVE my boyfriend tons, too. BUT we are in a long-distance relationship right now, and even though I miss him terribly all the time I also enjoy having the run of the house, being able to cook WHAT I want when I want, and being in control of the remote :-)
Yes. I love my bf with all my heart. I love spending time with him. But on the occasion when he's out, I very much enjoy my "me time." I run my own program. Most the time, I don't cook since I cook every night. I'll throw a salad together, or eat a sandwich. Hang out with the pupster. Catch up on girlie things. Then am excited to have him back at home.
Enjoy! :)
As much as I love the husband, I love being able to make messes too. Of course I have to clean them up before he sees them.
On the deployment post, thanks. I just feel like so many women whine and complain about the Army life. Hello you were warned before you got married!
I like having moments when I need to recommit. I think it helps me put things into perspective and get focused once again. What fun would life be if we didn't have the "screw up" moments?
That sounds like such a great night! I love my boyfriend too but there is something special about having a night alone once in a while. Watching my favorite shows would definitely be on my list too :)
It's funny that you're posting about your evening alone because I'm kicking off three days of "the single life" tonight. Except I had chips, black bean salsa, and leftover cake for supper and I'm surrounded by piles of school mess. I did watch BL though!
I love having time to my self.
I paint my nails, read and drink wine.
On the rare chance I get a few hours at night home by myself, I curl up and read. I keep the house quiet and one light one. Something so peaceful about quiet!
Alone time is wonderful for a marriage! There is nothing I love more than to spend time with Hubs and My Girl.... but time alone in the house, to do what I want to do, watch what I want to watch are so few and far between that I savor every singe moment. I, actually, need to do some major cleaning and would love to be alone for an entire day..... I guess I can keep hoping it happens soon!!!
Oh sounds like a fun night!! I love cooking a good dinner and vegging out when I have the house to myself.
I like an evening to myself too! I like to lay around on the couch and not doing chores. And then I won't feel guilty 'cause it's just me. :)
