13 Things We've Learned from Living Alone

By Eileen Conlan

1. Blouses that button up the back are Satan's greatest triumph.

2. It's amazing how quickly one person can go through a roll of toilet paper.

3. OMG, the hair in the drain is all yours.

4. Dinner tastes better eaten pants-less, standing at the sink.

5. Ramen and a Snack Pack pudding make for a really satisfying meal.

6. Alone time makes you philosophical: If I eat this wedge of cheesecake and no one is here to see it, did I really eat it?

7. It's easy to go 48 hours without speaking...to adults...if you work with children.

8. Things You Can Now Do Naked:
Disinfect, dust, vacuum, hang, dance, read, play with the ipod, shop online, bank online, blog, work, mop, sweep, paint your toes, cook, scrapbook, sculpt, polish, refurbish, watch tv, Tae Bo, role-play, Google, play solitaire (no pun intended).

9. TAKE THAT, SMUG COUPLES: In general, married women experience more depression than do single women.

10. I Need to Do That? Professionally shampoo rugs once a year ... dust blinds every month ... clean cat hair daily ... deodorize the microwave monthly ... change bedsheets weekly.
