So I was at the carwash today getting my headlights polished (get your mind out of the gutter, they were foggy....)
As I was saying, I was at the carwash today, and a very nice man was tending to my car. While he was doing so, he noticed my LA Dodgers bumper sticker, as well as the NY Giants' shirt I was sporting, and he mentioned how cool it was that I watched sports, and better yet knew what the sports references he was making meant.
He then asked if I had a husband.
I said no.
Fiancé?
No again.
Boyfriend???
"None of the above!" I replied.
He looked down and shook his head. "Some guys just don't know a good thing when they see it." He mumbled.
So even the guy at the CARWASH knows I'm a catch... what is wrong with EVERY OTHER GUY in the world?
What he said was true, but it doesn't just apply to the un-fairer sex. I think we're all guilty of this in one way or another. Not seeing what's right in front of you and being thankful for it.
I know it's been a while since we last chatted. Let's see, what's new?
Well, for starters I'm another year older... and wiser! This year I decided to be happy on my birthday and NOT go on a terrible blind date the night before. Thank goodness for wisdom.
I have also dropped the J-date... well the subscription that my lovely aunt purchased me expired. She called on my birthday this year, as she usually does, with the same inquiring question, "So you haven't found a man yet?"
"Nope."
But that's ok. I'm staying positive. Coming into 2012, (oh Happy New Year by the way,) I feel very positive for no particular reason, that this should be- no, this IS the year.
I have a hunch. And that excites me! Knowing any day now I could meet someone that I not only like and mesh with but may want to spend the rest of my life with... is pretty exciting stuff. I made no resolutions this year. This makes my life easy, because when people ask if I've kept my resolutions, the answer will be most definitely yes!
I did make one tiny resolution a few weeks back to keep up the faith, not to get easily discouraged and most importantly... to believe it will happen. I have always felt I would be married by a certain age, and that age is fast approaching. As it grows closer every day, I actually get the feeling of not being appreciative of what I have now.
Freedom.
Independence.
Alone time.
Fewer obligations.
When the carwash guy said that men don't know a good thing when they see it, I started thinking that I didn't know the good thing I had either, in single life. Sure, I would like to be in a relationship, (sooner rather than later,) but as I listen to sentimental tunes from the 80's right now, I realize that ONE DAY this will be gone. The good ole days of singleton.
I am such a girl sometimes and I never know what I want!
But right now.
At this moment.
I am content.
And that is the best resolution of all.
But don't worry, we have a lot to catch up on in the next few months, and I think you'll enjoy it.
Next week, we'll go into my best friend's wedding and how I think I actually repel men away now... oh it's going to be good!
