Use power tools.
Seriously, I use sanders, drills, saws and unpowered hammers in making jewelry and I try to limit the very loud things for when I’m alone. I also like to clean when no one is home.
With these two posts right next to each other, my brain very briefly read that latter one as “I order fried chicken and play dildo 3 all day.”
I really need to start wearing my reading glasses. :smack:
Whatever I damned well please 
Enjoy the quiet - no mayhem on tv all evening long.
Eat things he doesn’t like for dinner
Drink my evening wine without feeling guilty
Relax knowing that my time is my own
I NEVER have the house to myself. If I want any privacy I have to go out. I give my cat the keys to the car but she refuses to learn how to drive. ‘I’m too short, I’m not human.’ It’s always some damned excuse. And god forbid that I suggest that she go outside into the icky wilderness of the front lawn. ‘Do you think I spend 18 hours a day grooming just to go outside and get muck all over this lovely coat?’ It’s truly exasperating.
When I was in high school/home from college, the answer was always “get baked.” I got really good at getting rid of the smell.
Since I stopped doing that, the worst thing I might do is hang out in my boxers.
While you are correct, I should also I add that by “do my business,” I mean: Handle the monthly bills, prepare various tax documents, balance the A/R and A/P, and dun outstanding accounts.
I hope there was no confusion.
If my husband and I want to eat in peace, we have to eat out. Otherwise, the cats demand their fair share of the food.
Eat sweets
Apparently I call my mother then take a bubble bath. Because I had a precious 90 minutes alone this afternoon, and that’s what I did.
Nap, listen to silence, “polish the silver”. It happens very rarely.
lolol:D
Play music DH doesn’t care for.
Otherwise, do my normal stuff.
Loud music, naps, porn. Not necessarily in that order.
Celebrate!
Sleep in the nude, I don’t have to worry about being covered up if I get up to go to the bathroom.
Clean house, it’s easier when nobody else is around.
Talk on the phone about anything and everything, no nosy people trying to eavesdrop.
If its cold outside I just might turn the kitchen table into a work bench and create mountains of wood shaving while I build bows and arrows. Or I might spend some time on the phone catching up with someone I haven’t talked to for a long time. I also like to take advantage of the privacy and attempt to do some writing.
Use power tools. I do some of this when my wife is home, but I try to save big jobs with exceptionally noisy tools (e.g. the wood router) for when she’s not home.
Watch documentaries. Wife does not share this interest. I watch them sometimes when she’s home-but-not-watching-TV, but more often I’ll save them for when she’s not around.
Indulge in fetishes not shared by my wife. I have no secrets from her, but for things she has absolutely no interest in, it’s much more comfortable to partake when I’m alone.
Watch porn with the sound on, and masturbate. And walk around naked.
When the porn is over, I watch movies with the volume way up.
Pretty boring: usually I just make myself a large bowl of popcorn, drench it in a mixture of premium butter and lemon olive oil, pour a big glass of cranberry juice and then either watch a movie or catch up on a series that the Ms. doesn’t like (Walking Dead, Justified).
I couldn’t possibly mention those things on here.
Watch movies that Mr. brown doesn’t like, and be able to hear every word. He tends to talk during movies, and especially during movies he dislikes. Rather than going and finding something else to do, he loudly MST3Ks them nonstop.
Read, uninterruptedly. See above.
