Sometimes being single is the shiznit.....
So I decided to reward myself this evening and order really nasty, greasy Chinese food. As a reward for what-I don’t exactly know yet, but I generally feel most days I should be rewarded for making it out the door somewhat unscathed.
But I digress....
It occurs to me as I sit on my couch after scarfing said
Chinese food in a most unladylike manner, that sometimes being a single gal is
not so bad!
Case in point- my Chinese food is MY Chinese food. That
means no one, and I mean no one touches my fortune cookie! Did I order enough
for six people? You bet your a$$ I did-but that will feed me for a week!Also, since stuffing myself senseless, “if” I was perhaps feeling full and uncomfortable-as a single gal I feel quite ok with going pantsless the rest of the evening because my tummy is super full of msg and my pants are too tight.
That got me thinking-What are some other perks of being
single? Here are a few of my favorites:
·
The bed is mine! All mine!!! (except the pillow
I share with my cat, but really, that is NOT my choice)
·
Brushing my hair and my teeth-totally optional!
( I like to err on the side of hygiene of course, but I like to know the option
is there)
·
If I want to go to bed at 7:30- I will! And I
owe no one an explanation....
·
My last $50 WILL go to support my shoe addiction
·
The remote is in MY possession at ALL times
·
Where I go, and what I do is totally my decision
and my business
·
Shame free ugly crying....
For those that don’t know what ugly crying
is, this is the open mouthed, mascara dripping sob that sounds like a cross
between a whale and your soul dying-usually reserved for things like:
·
The Bachelor- “Why can’t those two people who’ve
known each other for 30 seconds make a go of it?”
·
Romantic Comedies-“that can totally happen in
real life....right?”
·
Your cat threw up in your favorite shoes and you
realize no one loves you
For those of you who say, “ but Court, you can totally do all
those things when paired off!” I say to you as politely as I can- Please shut
your face, I’m trying to make myself feel ok about the giant food baby I’ve
just created.
But seriously-there are so many perks to being single as
well as part of a duo, and as long as you’re happy and comfortable with
yourself, then you are equipped to deal with anything that may come your way.
Thanks for stopping by.

Good piece. You can come and go as you please, watch what you want when you want, you don't have to hide goodies anywhere, cause they will still be where you put them when you get home. NOBODY uses your toothpaste and the noises-the noises/sounds you don't have to listen to. Enjoy
Also excellent points! Thanks for the feedback :)
Sigh. And this is why I love you. You express everything so eloquently. My thoughts exactly. I am married. However I INSIST on having the remote in my posession at all times. 100% non-negotiable. And I definitely don't brush on the weekends, neither teeth nor hair. We are twins separated by 20 years. xxx Signed Momma G. (I'd put that in the first line but I can't figure out how the hell to do that so I have to reply to everything Anonymous - it's the only dropdown option that works.)
