* I don't have to tone down my quirks. Yes, I have had 19 boxes of cereal in my pantry at one time before. I am down to only having 8 in there at the moment.
* I don't have to explain my random purchases to anyone. Today's receipt includes:
4 bottles of Propel Fitness Water
5 bags of rice cakes
3 boxes of microwave popcorn
5 boxes of cereal
2 boxes of granola bars
1 magazine
and a box of Twinkies (impulse purchase, which I will probably end up giving to Liz's kids)
I am thinking about this right now because I am listening to Irma rationalize to her boyfriend why she bought 6 boxes of cereal. (Hello, 10 for 10 dollars sale.) Who flippin' cares?! It's not like she is going go back and return them because he thinks it is crazy to buy so many at once. I hear these kind of rationalizations all the time between my friends and their hubby/boyfriend. I want to scream "You are your own person! Who cares why you did it?!" It drives me nuts.
Why did I sleep for just over 11 hours yesterday? Because I accidentally fell asleep while watching TV and woke up 4 hours later, only to fall back to sleep. Did I have other things I should have been doing? Yes. Would my time have been better spent had I stayed up? Yes. Was I OK with that? Definitely.
I don't feel I need to defend nor rationalize my every action. (Another reason it is wonderful that I moved out of my parents house.)

I agree. I am currently mega-delighting in my singlehood. Guilt-free spending of money and time. It's great. I once bought about 12 boxes of hamburger helper because they were on sale for 79 cents, and that seemed like it was a good deal. I don't usually eat hamburger helper. There's still some in the cupboard, but I still don't feel guilty about it.
That girl should tell her boyfriend that she's trying to build up her year's supply.
