When you're alone.....

I've been observing my own behaviors over the past month, and have realized that there are many things that I do when I'm alone that I do not do when my husband is around.

A great example of this is my (almost obsessive) methodical repeated checks of my favorite websites. When my husband is around, I may check my email once a day...facebook maybe once ever 2 days...and favorite video production sites once a week. With him away, I'm checking all of the above at least 5-6 times a day. Always in the same order...and now that I've started this blog, I may include this in the loop of obsessive checking! :)
I suppose this is an attempt to fill in those moments of anxiety or boredom...and I guess it works...so no harm done.

Another thing I've been doing while I'm alone is reading in the bathtub. I have done this with my husband around, but not to this extent. I believe that I have been having a minimum of an hour long bath every night, and always with a book in my hand. In the month that my man has been away, I have finished 3 Steven King novels (Duma Key, The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three) and I am now working on the 4th one (The Wastelands). Again, no harm done as I am reinforcing my reading skills, and I smell REALLY GOOD!!! :)

I guess the other thing that I have been doing, is SINGING....oh my....
I have mp3's from my favorite musicals on my computer, and they have been playing on a loop. I am dancing around the house singing along to songs from Rent, Hairspray, Little Shop of Horrors....*sigh* I wonder if I sound good to anyone but myself. I would say no harm done, but I cannot speak for my poor pets who have extra sensitive ears! :(

So why do I choose to write this, well, I don't think anyone will read this for one thing, and I'm looking at it as a journal, one which is written for me. But I figure maybe I'll start to enjoy this, and maybe my husband can read my "blog" while he's away, for updates on my innermost thoughts? lol
We'll see.....
