11. No noses or butts to wipe, except mine.
10. No one else to mess up the house, leave dirty laundry on the floor, or stack dishes in the sink - just me!
9. Singing or talking to yourself are not met with suspicious stares.
8. Naps on the couch at lunch are great revitalizers for getting through the afternoon.
7. I can eat that leftover broccoli for dinner and cereal for lunch.
6. I can work out to any DVD (aerobics, bellydancing, dancing, pilates, yoga, etc.), have fun, and not get laughed at because I can't dance!
5. I don't know the words to any Dr. Suess books.
4. My "style" has developed through the years of living by myself (10 years). I like slightly retro modern in the living areas, and more subdued & girlie in my private spaces. I can turn the lights on as bright as I want, or just sit in the dark.
3. I love to travel - and I could just take off for Hawaii (if I could find the time and use my frequent flier points). Travel for me is relaxing and fun (and a good way to spend time with my best friend).
2. My alarm wakes me up gently - not someone screaming, someone poking me, or someone that wants to eat - and I can always just turn it off when I want to sleep in.
.................and the Number One reason for being me:
1. Silence. Quiet. ahhhhhhhh.
And for those of you who read the last post until the very end and had a guess on the songs - there were 4 songs/lines from songs.
- The Thunder Rolls (Garth Brooks)
- Listening to the rain fall on the roof.....(from Kenny Rogers' song Morning Desire)
- Chill of an Early Fall (George Strait)
- What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)

Number 12. No inlaws!
Of course, all mine are super great, but I don't think it always works that way. Just google inlaws and see what you find.
(example - from a book by the same name - Toxic–in laws come in a wide variety of guises, " The Critics.; ", who tell you what you're doing wrong, "The Controllers.;", who try to run you and your partner's life, " The Engulfers.;", who make incessant demands on your time, " The Masters of Chaos.;", who drain you and your partner with their problems, and, " The Rejecters.;", who let you know they don't want you as part of their family.)
Wow - that was one I didn't even think about!
I enjoyed your post! Now if I could just find the time to update mine. . . I'm lucky in the area of in-laws, too. Mine are great.
Here are some Dr. Suess words for you: Big A, Little a. What begins with A? Aunt Annie's alligator a a a
I could go on and quote the whole book, but I won't. :-)
