So once again, I got wrapped up in school starting and fighting to get this reno finished (SO close!) and I forgot to blog. So here I am playing catch up again. Twice in one month? Pathetic.
16. Figuring things out for yourself.
As my Dad so aptly pointed out while I was cursing my inability to jimmy the teeny tiny screws in my towel bar, another great reason to be single is the ability to figure things out for yourself. Sure, it would be WAY easier and about a hundred times less frustrating to have someone swoop in and install the towel bars for me, but what would I learn? Nothing. And you know, that'd be pretty hypocritical considering I permanently etched the saying "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn" into my leg.
17. Whisker burn
I know that guys think the 5 o'clock shadow/2 day scruff is sexy...but it is about 30% more sharp than sexy. No woman wants to go home after a date and slop half a bottle of vaseline on their face so they don't look like they got in a losing battle with a cactus when they wake up in the morning. If you wanna look sexy, fine. But keep that stubble to yourself! And wouldn't you know it? Us single gals don't need to worry about that cactus scruff at all! It's all scruff free over here, ladies! Eat your whisker burned hearts out!
18. Habits
I know this is borrowing from a Sex and the City episode, but those girls know a thing or two about being single. When you are single, you can indulge in your weird/embarassing habits without anyone questioning your sanity. This occured to be last night as I was sanding the thick layer of dried out skin off the bottoms of my feet. I was more than a little grossed out by myself and the amount of dead skin that ended up on the mat. Eww. Now there is a necessary part of sandal season that I certainly would not have to share with a boy. And yes, I could hide in the secrecy of the bathroom and do it...but the side of the tub is not comfortable enough for the time commitment required to sand those babies. Plus, there is no better time to watch trashy/girly tv episodes than while primping and pampering your tootsies.

Regarding number 16 - I know this one very well although I am in a relationship. Don't expect that just because you have a man that he's capable of or interested in doing such things. I'm the only one who touches the power tools in my house and I'm the only one who has the patience to do many other piddly jobs.
Regarding 1-15, 17, and 18 - you make some good points.
