Wife is leaving for 10 days to help her sister move her oldest daughter from Ill. to N.C.

Ideas of what to do while wife's gone?

Having been there before...

 

1) Let everything go until the last day. No dishes, vacuuming, no cleaning of any kind. Then do the white tornado routine the last day.

2) No shaving

3) Eat at places you normally can't.

4) Lay on the couch and watch the NFL draft, Brewers games, etc. un-interupted.

5) Leave the seat up

Craigslist's "Casual Encounters"

[razzzorsharp]

Pants: optional.

[Brian the Automator]

Smoke a cigar in the house.

[jazzytrav]

Rent a movie that you always wanted to see but she never did so you couldn't justify spending the money.

[homer]

Wear some of her clothes.

Translation: Porn.

 

This is a golden opportunity for a poker night, or several. Host a PPV event (MMA, WWE) if you're into that sort of thing.

 

Make an ottoman out of pizza boxes.

 

Watch every Star Wars movie consecutively.

 

Think of whatever would annoy her the most if she were there, and then do it.

What would Al Bundy do? lol

 

Enjoy the quiet. Teri took our daughter and her two sons to Arizona a couple of years ago. The peace and quiet was awesome.

 

Use of the best TV anytime you want it is pretty sweet too.

[SquirrelMaster]

Wear some of her clothes.

 

That one made me laugh out loud. Bravo!

Good suggestions http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I have done one or two already and plan on some more before time runs out

Do that big project on your "Honey-do" list that you've been putting off for way too long. You'll be a hero, and said "hero-ness" will buy you far more than 10 days worth of good-tv watching/pizza eating/cigar smoking/farting in bed priviledges.

Your choice: 10 days of man-piggery (which is good), or 10 days of do-goodery (meh) that could net 10 weeks, maybe even 10 months, of wife endorsed total swinehood.

Pick your battles. Choose wisely. Crazy Old Man is wise.

Makes sense IN THEORY. Unfortunately, that creditonly lasts one day or so in wife time- not 10 weeks. Ever hear the song "What have you done for me lately?" The project stuff can wait. The longer you're married, the more you appreciate the alone time to do anything (or nothing.) Last time I did nothing it was everything I thought it would be.

Sounds like I need to find myself a wife.

Ideas of what to do while wife's gone?

 

Dude -- My wife takes my daughters about 2x a year to visit her brother for a week -- my son and I love this time.

 

I am proud to say that we have created, implemented and improved the "24 hr., living room, taco bar". I will have to take pictures the next time we set it up. It is my singular greatest achievement.

 

The golden rule of how you should spend your time when your wife is gone should be "If you are wearing pants, you are doing it wrong"

 

Pick your battles. Choose wisely. Crazy Old Man is wise.

 

I am pretty sure that you are just crazy instead of wise.... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif My wife doesn't remember anything I do for her 10 hrs after I do it, let alone 10 weeks. Embrace Debauchery.

Sure, if you are ready to cash in your chips, why not...

 

EDIT: Stock up on air-fresheners.

[Nottso]

My wife appreciates every little thing I ever do for her. I guess I'm just really lucky. If I told you guys how good I've got it here, I fear I would be reviled and pelted with turnips or the like.

Nottso - I'll keep a special bag of tomatoes just for you http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

 

Another fun activity is the booze bottle air band (blowing over the top). Usually the most fun is in tuning the bottles.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Make sure you post a picture of yourself watching the best TV in the house with your feet on your pizza box ottoman while you're wearing your wife's clothes.
