You’re so funny!! This is like me on work trips when I used to travel almost every week. It kind of felt like a vacation where I could watch TV and stay up as late as I wanted!! And do things I wouldn’t necessarily do at home like eat out every night, and on the company’s dime. It’s glorious to have that kind of freedom, is it not? I remember I once read books each night until the wee hours of the morning, and I generally sleep pretty early.For those of you who are empty nesters...do you ever find it to be simply glorious?
The kids left in the last couple of days. Mr. S is on a business trip. And, I’m working from home this week. I don’t have to go anywhere.
I’m home alone! I don’t have to cook! I can sit in my closet and play with my bags and shoes for hours. I can dance like Rihanna (well in my head I can dance like Rihanna lol!) in my PJ’s. I can watch Star Trek all evening and eat grapes and almond butter off of a spoon for dinner.
Why didn’t anyone tell me it would be this fun?

My Birkin and Kelly’s combined have a similar shape and I’m just not as drawn to the CS any longer. To be honest, I bought it bc my husband really liked the way it looked, and he NEVER likes any of my bags so it was a big deal to me. It was in Europe so the cost savings was significant as well. Now his favorite bag of mine is my oldest, the Gucci all brown leather Marrakech
He dislikes all my Hermes bags for the most part. Too bad bc they make me very happy!Hooray!! It feels good to list and even better to sell! I hope that you have similar feelings when you put yours up for sale tomorrow! And good luck.I need to take pics of my ivory Chanel so I can list it. I took it out and cringed at the thought of selling. But, I still don’t want to wear it.
I feel you! It’s not the same situation, but I’ve been living alone for the past six years and a half and I LOVE it! When I left my mom’s house, I lived with two other people for about a year and a half and I must say I didn’t enjoy it, even though they’re nice people and I love them. Living alone is just awesome though. I’m not married (I don’t even have a partner at the moment) and I don’t have kids, so I can pretty much do whatever I want at home and I love it.For those of you who are empty nesters...do you ever find it to be simply glorious?

Oh, and your Jimmy Choo hobo is gorgeous!
Thank you for the explanation. Good thing there isn’t a quota on scarves, I’d be in trouble!
After college I refused to take a roommate again until my long term and long distance bf moved to the city where I was to be with me. I had 3 glorious years of living on my own!!! It is lovely not to have to worry about cleaning up after others. But I like living with my 3 dogs and husband as well!
Yes! It’s a Birkin 25 in Vert Cypres (dark green) with gold hardware. I’ll be sure to post pics tomorrow!
For my 10 in 31 challenge I wore my Chanel 13P Red Reissue 226 today, old picture.
I currently live in two different cities, but I spend most of the time in one of them, where I’m completely alone at home. When I go to the other city, however, I share the apartment with my mom and my two lovely kitty cats. I love being with them as well. ❤️ This year I’ll probably spend more time in the city where they are and I think it’s going to be great. It’s just that being all by yourself is such an amazing freedom!
Yes! I’m very social and love people, parties events, etc. BUT I’m also an introvert. Most people don’t believe me but, I absolutely am. So having times when NO ONE is around is pure Heaven!!! It allows me to recharge. Business trips can do the same thing. If I don’t have to be bothered in the evening (and gawd I hate doing the business dinner thing after a long day of working with people) I revel in the alone time in the restaurant and hotel! (And thanks for the compliment on the JC)
I’m also in the introvert wagon! I love being with my loved ones, but I love being alone just as much. I need it like oxygen!
Yes. I can see how these would be too similar. Mr. S and I disagree on some of my bags. For example he is not a Chanel classic flap fan and despises the Proenza Schoulers and ALLMy Birkin and Kelly’s combined have a similar shape and I’m just not as drawn to the CS any longer.

of my hobo / less structured bags like my JC Raven. I know his opinion influences me a bit but, at the end of the day he isn’t carrying the bag. I have to love and feel good about it.
Gorgeous red!!!!
I just drooled all over my iPad! This is the bag of my dreams!!! Be still my beating heart... is that palladium hardware??? I’m all in a tizzy!
