So I haven't even been by myself for 24 hours and already I'm lonely! And I've got another week to go like this! ARG! I'm drinking wine by myself - liable to polish off the bottle by the end of the night. The cats aren't much company - they don't answer when I talk to them except for the occassional "mer-ow." My friends all have families... I can't wait for Paul to come back!

aww... i'm sorry to hear that. it definitely gets lonely when you're used to someone being there with you. but if your cats start to talk back to you, then you know you've had too much to drink!

Well I'm done my bottle of wine and the cats have disappeared, so now its genvibe and the TV to keep me entertained.Its true that absence does make the heart grow fonder.

looks to be a quiet eve/afternoon on gvc. hopefully something good will come on. what about renting a chick flick? i have plans to watch "paycheck" in a few myself. hope it's good.

Well since I just had a whole bottle of wine by myself I don't think I'll go anywhere. We just got this "on demand" feature on cable where there's 1400 movies that you can buy and use like a regular movie (instead of pay per view) with pause, rewind and fast forward... but I think I might fall asleep before the movie ends.

LOL. yes, please don't drive anywhere! what about a nice bubble bath? i love taking a hot bath in our jacuzzi tub. then after i turn into a prune, i dry off and go to bed!

I have no "bubbles" for a bubble bath. Nor do I have a jacuzzi tub - my parents have one but they're two hours away! Luckily on Wednesday a friend is coming over for dinner and a movie. And Tuesday and Thursday I have sessions with my trainer at the gym... so that just leaves Monday, Friday and next Saturday to entertain myself.

So do something you normally wouldn't do if there were people there, like dancing like a fool until you're tired, then take a shower, and enjoy a nice peaceful drive around town

wine? Try some bourbon

Oh I did dance around while cleaning the computer room today. I had the satellite radio on the TV. Ah well its soon bedtime and another day down in the countdown until Paul returns,

Well, sleep well and let's hope tomorrow turns out to be jam-packed with fun and friends

Well luckily I have a good time with my coworkers and we're taking my pregnant boss out for a surprise "shower/lunch" so that should be good. I think I'll go shopping after work. This is what happens to people who move from their parents house in with their significant other - they have no idea what to do with themselves when their SO leaves for a week!

Well sorry your lonely but so is everyone who is away from the one they love. Hope you make it through this time your alone, maybe when you sobor up, remember to buy more.

Oh I know others are lonely. Luckily for me the liquor store is beside work. Or maybe thats not lucky for me... but anyways!

well sounds like tomorrow will be a fun day at work for you!

Oh I hate to get drunk off of wine, nothing gives me a more painful hangover. Definately does not make for a good day the next day.I hope that you do find some consolation here Sputnik until your beloved returns.

I had a couple of advil before going to bed and am now up with the birds getting ready for work! No hangover to be seen.

I'm sorry for your lonelyness.Hope very soon you get fun with other's.Have courage will pass on.

So when is your bf coming back to your lonesome self? Does he realise the pain he puts you through? shame on him.Glad to hear you don't have a hang over, thats bad on a monday morning.

Well Phil my wife goes through the same thing when I leave for a business trip and trust me I miss her like crazy too. With my line of work you have no choice but to travel.Sputnik I feel your pain, all I can say is I hope times flies real fast when your BF is not around. Keep yourself busy and in no time he will be home....

Keep yourself busy and in no time he will be home.... Thanks its nice that someone understands. When you're with someone 24/7 (and yes we are because we work together) and then they go away for 10 days its kind of tough. Some people maybe cynical about it and thinking "oh stop whining about yourself... blah blah blah" but I don't really give a damn... if I feel like posting about missing someone I will (and I did!)... others post multiple new threads about their trips, pets, life situations etc etc, so if I want to post that I'm missing someone, then tough noogies

tough noogies, eh? LOLwell, nothing wrong w/ posting about you missing your bf. cause if you didn't, then you know there's something wrong! but i am envious because you get to be with him somewhat soon.... so it could be worse! look on the bright side: when he gets home in a few days, it will be fun! LOL

yeah noogies - I wanted to say the "s - word" but new it would be blocked. I slept with the cats last night. They took over the entire half of the bed where Paul sleeps. I think they're enjoying it.

It's almost nice seeing how much you care for him, somewhat refreshing actually. Almost enough to give a person hope again

oh i bet they are enjoying it! my little pups sleep w/ me. the one little one likes to curl up under the covers just under my arm and the other lays ontop of my leg.when i moved back home going thru my divorce, it took a good 6 mos to a yr to get used to someone not being there. is kinda nice to have someone to cuddle up to at night (and i'm not talking about the pets!)

Quote, originally posted by trdvibe »is kinda nice to have someone to cuddle up to at nightThis is probably what I look forward to most about marriage! Always having someone to snuggle with!

Yeah snuggling is da bomb!

With my line of work you have no choice but to travel.so, sam, how do you keep in touch? over the phone then? and doesn't she come with every so often too? when my dad travels to some far off cool place, my mom will sometimes tag along. next year he may be going to rome, italy for a big conference. if so then i know she will definitely go! and they want me to come too, but..... don't know if i'll be able to.

That's why I'm gonna play it safe when I get married. I mean, if there's no couch in the house, then I won't be spending the night on it (With my luck I'll be told to sleep in the bathtub anyways )

and don't get a dog in that case either.... but you're asian. she may make you sleep on the floor!

Gosh ---Sput---Hang in there --Where is your better half--Will he return soon because from reading your post you do sound like you miss him . And there is nothing wrong with that. In the meantime --do some of the things that you have wanted to do with family and friends . It will help ease the pain.Been there---Done that !!CHIN UP !!! And head strong!Hang in there ---James (Vibe)

Thanks James. He is in England until Sunday. I just talked to him on the phone for 40 minutes - that'll be a painful one on the hotel bill. Oh well its worth it.

well, too bad you couldn't go too! that might have been a fun little trip overseas! don't envy his plane ride however. good luck to you!

I call her every morning when I get up and every night before I go to sleep. We chat on MSN messanger when work is slow. It doesn't make up the fact that I can't see her but its the best I can do. I have tried to bring her along a few times but for various reasons it hasn't worked out...but boy is it ever great when I come home PS I just came back from a week trip to Vegas on Saturday night and I am leaving this Sunday for New Orleans thank God no more trips till the fall!

wow! yeesh! she must love you if you travel so much and she's there w/ open arms at your return. but that's great that you guys talk when you wake up and before you go to bed. and sputnik, i'm sure your bf misses you just as much!

Yes Sputnik trust me he does It is not easy being away from the people you love Actually Hope my wife and I have been married for almost 5 years and been together for 14 years, yeah we love each other LOL if not I am sure after my 3 week trip I would have found my bags outside the house!

sam, after 14 yrs, she definitely loves you! what's 3 wks out of 14 yrs??? nothing! so, i guess she knows you're coming home to her and you know she's waiting there when you get back. awww... now isn't that sweet.

so, sputnik, what's the eta on his return now?

Still Sunday - around 6pm. I just talked to him not long ago. Sounds like he's enjoying himself (and the pints of beer!).

You tell him about the wine?

Yup. Speaking of wine I'm going to a winery today with friends.

to restock? or just more to drink?Your bf is going to come home and find you passed out in a pile of bottles lol

LOL I'm not that bad! I only had one woody and a glass of wine last night. And during the whole week I had two beer (mmm Kilkenny), and 1 woody. There's some jousting thing at this winery - so its knights jousting and wine tasting, AFAIK.

Those Woody coolers are hard to open... but I still love them.What flavor do you like?

What is a Woody? I've never heard of them. James

Its a wine cooler. Very good, comes in different flavors.
