Running Amok the Pseudo Single-Gal Way
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009It’s funny when the guy you’re seeing- who you might also now be calling BOYFRIEND(!)- goes out of town for a week to some IT Spark-plug Doohickey Fanciness Come-to-the-Motherboard 2009 Conference. In his absence, all manner of “single-gal” debauchery takes place.
Debaucherous stuff like wearing those full-coverage, decidedly unsexy cotton undies when it’s not even your period. Saving an extra 15 minutes in the morning and giving the razor a rest. Cracking open that bottle of wine after work without having to feel sheepish for having alcohol on your breath when you see him later. Indulging in Special K and Ben & Jerry’s for dinner (I’m boycotting Haagen Dazs for downsizing their pints- boo!). Allowing yourself to fall asleep on the couch after Gossip Girl (how seriously awesome was last night’s episode!?) and racking up no less than nine freaking hours of sleep. Going to bed with a deep pore cleansing mask on your face. A week sans boyfriend = reveling in laziness and glut and questionable hygiene.
But it’s also missing him. Sending silly emails back and forth every chance you get…waking up at 3 am with a thoughtful text message waiting for you…thinking about him even more while he’s away…wrapping your legs around him when he returns.
aww! i was wondering if there was a special man on the scene lately. so happy for you.
and ps- i had a bowl of cereal with a glass of wine as my dinner in front of manfriend last week. after a bit you just dont mind having them see (some of) the single girl behavior!
The fact that girls like us get SO RIDICULOUSLY HYPED about being able to use the word “boyfriend” is kind of awesome, but also kind of sad.
But you can bet money that we appreciate its use more than ANYONE.
