View Full Version : What would you do if you were home alone for a week?
My roomate (my brother) left for a 100% free, 9 day cruise today that his friend hooked him up with.. down the coast of Mexico.. bastard.
My gf also left today with her parents to a funeral. They'll be gone for at least a week.
Ill be working very little next week, a few hours.
All these events coincided at the same time.. I feel for a reason :supergrin: Kinda like a Ferris Buller, Risky Business or Home Alone 2 feel. So I basically have my house to myself, and tons of free time.
Its very quiet. Right now Im just baking some hotwings and walking around in boxers. But this cant be wasted.
What would you do if you had a week of nothing.. whatever you felt like?
Need some good ideas.
Chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze!

Keep the house clean, catch up on some movies that no one else in the house likes, wash dishes, shower, shave, iron some clothes, dust the door trim, vacuum carpets, mow the lawn, cook some meals, drink, surf the internet, invite some new friends over for some discreet fun.

Hookers and blow. :rofl:
Hookers and blow. :rofl:
Bingo!! As long as you aren't wating Lord of the Rings.. you're good!!
Hookers and blow. :rofl:
Now that this has been said... I would do what cjlandry said 3 posts up. My wife has been filling in at a remote lodge (as a licensed massage therapist) for the past month. I've been living the bachelor life, but ala cjlandry style. One night out with the boys, but my routine has stayed the same...
okay, I leave the lid up... :wavey:
no, I don't-I have 3 dogs and a cat who have drank from the toilet before.

That answer (Bachalor Party) is way better than mine. I was going to say make a list of things that need to get done around the house.
I did this recently and its amazing how good it feels to get stuff done, organized and the place clean.

Personally, Beer, movies, and more beer.

Yeah, somethin like that...
Do everything your girlfriend hates but you love. When she gets back and you want to do it she will say "why didn't you do that why I was gone?". Remember, a relationship with any woman is successful when it is all about them so take advantage of the time you have apart.

Honestly, I'd probably take out all the guns that I haven't used for a while and make sure they're well lubed. (Why do I say this, because I'm over-due and need to do it!)

I have 5 kids...I would sleep my ass off. And probably yard work.

Is the cruise to the east or west coast of Mexico? If it's to the east you can :rofl: because your brother is cruising in Gustav.
I would just chill. I love having time to myself, because most of the time I am with my girlfriend. When I am alone my favorite things are: yard work (I love mowing, its therapeutic), movies, cleaning my car, and just hanging out.
Have fun,

The first time I was ever alone for a long time was two years after my dad died, I was in high school and my mom finaly went on a vacation for a couple of weeks with some friends. She had been buying new furniture but also hanging on to everything in the house that was connected with my dad and the place was getting crowded. When she left I started taking truck loads of things to the dump or salvation army. When she came back all she said was it looked cleaner with out all the junk she couldn't bring herself to throw out.
Now when I am alone for a week or so I spend a day or two and take on projects I can't do with the house full of people.

Well, yes. Yes I do. It started out with Super Colibris and progressed from there.
I can also assure you that a .30-06 is loud beyond imagination even with the muzzle poked out a back window and I don't dare touch off a .375 H&H from inside unless in dire straits of brown furry things attempting entry.
I was actually home alone for 2 weeks at the beginning of the summer.
I wrote a list of big jobs that needed doing around the house that were hard or impossible to do with the kids and wife around, and a list of fun things I felt like doing that were hard or impossible to do with the kids and wife around. I did one thing from each list pretty much every day. Built a koi pond with a solar powered waterfall, removed, sanded, stained, sealed, and reattached my bathroom door, cleaned the basement, etc...
Won't get into the fun list. Many TOS violations were on it.
ETA: Also, since the family gonna be gone, I updated my Netflix queue so tat I had a 2 week supply of slasher movies and other stuff I can't watch with the kids around. It was a great way to unwind from all the work and non-work I had done during the day.
Remember, a relationship with any woman is successful when you take advantage them.
Fixed it for you.
I didn't do much laundry cuz I walked around the house either 1) in my underwear or 2) nekkid
I left guns out on the counter and nobody yelled. I left ammo on the kitchen table for a whole week and nobody complained.
I watched pr0n unabated...in surround sound and on a 46" lcd
I passed out in my recliner while watching TV just because I could.
My local Pizza Hut delivery guy became my best friend. We would have been better friends if I put pants on before I answered the door.
I got above mentioned delivery guy to pick up beer at the grocery store for an extra $5 tip.
I was way relaxed because I didn't have the annoyance of 2 other people in the house. I had my 2 dogs still but they're cool.
I would take part of the time, earlier in the day, to do some work on a gun project, on a dining room table where you can just stop working when you feel like it and leave everything where it is. Small parts and all. When other people are around you can't do that without something disappearing. Enjoy the solitude.

Probably some hanging out and tv watching. Nothing too outrageous.
When I was like 19 my parents left me home alone for like 2 weeks. OMG I had a lot of fun no doubt, thankfully the house was still standing when they returned.
Have some friends over for a poker/drinking night.
Thats always fun.

I was going to say that. I would sleep...a lot. No screaming kids? Whew.

I like this.. into some wetpack phonebooks. I may also try to silence a 9mm with a pillow and make a flamethrower to kill some big wasps outside. Yeah.
House (townhouse) is clean.. guns are clean. Fridge and pantry are empty cause some friends came over, Im pretty sure just to eat all my food. Good excuse for a trip to the store now. Ill take my bike and see how many bags I can fit on my arms while riding a motorcycle.

... and midgets, women with big cans, escorts, guns, and open fires. Flare guns, smoke alarms, stun guns, and fire extinguishers. Block parties, drag-racing, and very friendly kidnappings of nubile, limber young women. Howl at the moon, party like you're dying tomorrow, and go out and lay the biggest lines of complete crap on every woman you meet.
Any other questions? I'm available for consultations, and can make house calls. You live in a college town, by chance? PM me. I'll show you how to live.
I live alone in my apartment. I guess I should appreciate it a little more :lol:

Clean and lube your firearms, work out, read books and magazines, drink beer while jamming to classic rock, invite your bestest friends over for beer and poker and food.
I'd be a bar-hopping, partying, whoremongering fool..........But that's just me.
+1 :supergrin:
Rejoice.
Lol, you got that right, just soak up all that solitude, peace and quiet.
And the manly side of me says I would sit around in my underwear and drink copius amounts of Newcastle.:supergrin:
Week before last, my wife and kids went to the beach, for the week.
(I had to work.) So, basically, my life went just as cjlandry described, below -
Keep the house clean, catch up on some movies that no one else in the house likes, wash dishes, shower, shave, iron some clothes, dust the door trim, vacuum carpets, mow the lawn, cook some meals, drink, surf the internet, invite some new friends over for some discreet fun.
Two items were different.
No new friends came over for discreet fun. I like it when the house is quiet.
(Besides, I have a couple of neighbors that are nooooooooooosy!!):supergrin:
I had my English Springer Spaniel there. He and I had a great time eating burgers hot off the grill, and steak, too!

Dude...I'd grab the closest bean bag chair, bag of Cheetos and a 6-pack, and get nekkid.
Just like Ron White would :rofl:
Relax.
Watch a lot of movies. Grill. Don't shave. Order Pizza. Read. Float in the pool if you have one.

Sleep in, do some reading, have a "B" movie marathon, eat a ton of food which gives you gas, catch up on projects...

Party naked in the living room.
Other than that nothing. If your roommate affects you lifestyle so much that you can't do what you want, time to find a new place to hang your hat.
i take it, you guys dont get much alone time huh?:rofl:
<----is single and LOVE'S it!!!:cool:
