Things I Learned While Kev was gone



The last week Kev has been away at a convention. You may think by the collage that it was a bacon convention, sadly, it was not. But by the number of pictures of bacon he sent me, you would have thought it was.

I didn't post him being gone, I wasn't terribly concerned about anyone coming to my house and touching my butt. I was more worried that Cleo would mess someone up.



We've had various things to attend in the past and have spent a few days apart but when either of us have big conferences to attend, one usually joins the other for a few days. Since I just got back from Orlando and we're heading to Europe at the end of the year, I needed to say home and save my days. This might be the longest we've been apart since we've been married. Crazy!

Well, since Kev was gone for almost an entire week, I realized a few things would happen if I were home alone more often.

 - I would eat Mexican food almost every day if it was just me. I love me some Mexican food and Kev just isn't a fan. I might have eaten it 3 of the the last 7 days...


 - All the plants would die, We really only have one plant, and it's a pot of basil. Thankfully I remembered to water it yesterday. I didn't want him to come home to a dead plant.


 - It's quite a bit cleaner around here..... No comment

 - I would go to the gym more. Last week I went 5 times. Because it was just me and the dog. Going to the gym filled the late hours. If it wasn't for Kev, I might have abs. lol



 - The garbage would never be emptied. As I'm typing this, he comes home tomorrow and the garbage can is at critical mass. I can shove like 3 more things in there before I have to get a new bag. I can make no garbage before he gets home. Garbage is gross.

 - I would know how many rolls of paper towels I had. Before Kev left  he told me we were out of paper towels. So I spent the next 4 days wiping my fingers on my pants. Sunday I bought paper towels and when I put them in the garage, what did I find? Paper towels...



 - The dog might actually start listening to me.

 - The bed covers are always neatly tucked in and it's made when I get out of the bed.

 - There's no one to tell me not to buy naughty food. I had golden Oreos and hot tamales while he was away. It's all delicious, but I don't need them. Thankfully I went to the gym 5 times.

 - It's also pretty lonely. I'm glad that he's finally home! Welcome back Kev!!

Linky Linky!

  1. haha... when my hubs is just gone to work on Saturday, I can tell in that small amount of time how much cleaner the house is :)

    I'm with you on the Mexican - every day if it were up to me.

  2. I always secretly enjoy when the other half is away because that time to myself is so great. And I can eat whatever I want - like you and your Mexican!

    1. I KNOW! When it's just me and the dog she doesn't judge my poor food choices.

  3. Now that I'm on my own, I eat LESS! It's delightful! Although I feel bad for the dogs because it seems like no one is ever home with them anymore.

    1. I felt really bad leaving the dog at home all day. I had to go home at lunch to walk her or straight home after work. She's a big fan of Kev being home.

  4. I would eat lots of gluten (since he has an intolerance) and popcorn for dinner (since that's not enough dinner for him). I'd also probably buy waaay too much junk (sweets mostly--ice cream, cookies, candy) because Michael is the one who keeps me honest about that! Haha. But I do think I'd work out more too!

    1. I definitely had fro-yo for dinner one night. lol. The dog didn't judge, probably because I brought her doggie ice cream.

  5. Mexican food everyday is my kind of meal planning. Cleo looks like a beauty of a guard dog :) I have never grown a plant. Ever. Safe to say that all plants would die if left in my care.

    1. I'm so glad the plant lived until he got home. I was ready to buy another one and replace it if it died. lol

  6. So true. I just heard that one of the Mexican places has curbside takeout. I think my life has been changed for the better.
