You know, sitting in my round, swivel chair (my favorite spot in my house), watching football, stomach full as a tick, with piles of laundry that need to be folded but I’m not about to do it right now, I’m thinking, “Thank God I’m single.”
In August, I traveled every, single weekend and I thought, “I’m so glad I’m single.”
I having a Girls’ Night In tonight with two of my favorite Sorors and we’re going to eat pizza and watch Say Yes to the Dress and I didn’t have to coordinate with anybody but them and I’m thinking, “I like this single thing.”
I was wiggling my back because it’s a little stiff and was thinking, “hmmm….massage” then “no, spa day!”, and thought how lucky I am that no one is counting my money because I’m the only boss of me!
I look at my legs that have not seen a razor in a minute (too much fuzz to be cute), and I’m laughing…and happy that this single broad has no man to scar for life with this stubble.
You know what, sometimes being single is the best thing going.
A few months ago, I put out on FaceBook a question: What is/was the best thing about being single? I got some interesting responses. Most of them were around the fact that single folks can up and go whenever they feel like it (TRAVEL!!!), don’t have to check in with anybody, don’t have to coordinate with anybody , don’t have to consider anybody else’s schedule when they just feel like doing something. (Of course if you are dating someone you want to be considerate but if you want to go see your mama and he has to work, so what, you can still go…he doesn’t have to go; he isn’t family yet.) One of my girl cousins made me laugh when she said that when you are single and live alone, if you bring home a box from last night’s dinner you know it’s still in there when you get home from work. (YES INDEED! You know how aggravating it is when you have your mouth set for something all day long and it is GONE when you get home!?!?!?). One of my male cousins piped up with, “sounds a lot like being a husband”. I could have thrown a shoe at him! (I have a good arm but I can’t throw from Georgia to Louisiana.) It did make me wonder if being a husband is as “free” as being a single woman…and ticked me off! LOL!
Yall know by now that I want to be married with children…BAD. I cannot believe God would deprive me of such blessings but He is clearly (CLEARLY) not paying any attention to MY time schedule. I am sure He won’t let my eggs go to powder before I have a baby…(right, Lord?...asking like He is reading my blog). But right now, I have to live what I got and focus on the positives, right?
Some folks may think my life is boring, and sometimes it is, but it’s mine. And for now, I’m living the Single, Single, Single….Life! (Single Ladies clap your hands!) (If you don’t know that song, PLEASE don’t tell anybody!)
