Honnamooning Happiness

Reasons why honeymoons are the coolest thing ever:

1. You wake up each morning and the most pressing matter of your day is that you need to pick up more sunscreen.


2. Your day revolves around three very important things: breakfast, lunch and dinner.


3. You don't have to make your bed in the morning.


4. You can throw your used towels on the floor and like magic, there are fresh ones hanging when you return.


5. You don't have to have the slightest pang of guilt booking two or even three back-to-back spa treatments. In fact, you get to actually rub this in your friend's faces via email and blog writing.


6. Men seem to like you even more when you have a ring on your finger (the negative of this one is that women seem to like men even more when they have a ring on their finger...so MILF-y lady in room 312, you better stop checking out my HUSBAND)


7. All you have to do is use the phrase "We're on our honeymoon" and it's code for "Let's give you free things!!" Champagne? Why not!! Upgrade your room? OF COURSE! Chocolate covered strawberries/pineapples/bananas? Bon Appetit! (Somebody explain to me why I haven't used this "honeymoon" line before??)


8. Spending money on extravagant things/activities/dinners which used to riddle you with guilt (especially when what you just spent on that dinner equals your monthly mortgage back in the real world) now is guilt you don't have to take FULL responsibility for; you can share it with your new spouse. And technically, THEY can pay for that ridiculously overpriced straw bag that you just HAD to have for beach essentials.


9. You get to test drive the new introduction, "this is my husband/wife..." which seems to still illicit a juvenile giggle out of Ette2.


10. And last but certainly not least, you can eat whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you gain weight because you don't have anyone to impress anymore now that you are a WIFF(Just kidding, honna...I promise to lose the ten pounds I gained in the last 48 hours)
