Valentine’s Day is upon us! I have spent many a Pre-Valentine’s Day swearing up and down I would have a date or a present or some sort of special attention from the opposite sex.
I have also shed more than my share of tears as Cupid seemed to skip me again. So.... As I continue to embrace my singledom and be the best me I can be, that my Mr. Right will eventually appreciate.... I have decided to dedicate this blog to the benefits of being single for all my other single ladies who may not be as progressive as myself! Here goes:
#1 I do not have to share my fries!!! My boo'ed up people.... Don't you hate when you got something really good to eat (like Micky D's french fries) or you down to your LAST drop of juice and your boo comes along and asks "can I have some?" OR, worse yet, they just take it.... ‘Cause they know they yo’ boo and the can do that!! Yea.... I don't have that problem. (Shout out to Maggie for this one)
#2 No stupid arguments about stupid things! Me and my ex were together for two and a half years. Of all the major spats we had, what I really remember is arguing about dish soap. Yes…we argued about the Palmolive!!!! Monday I bought a brand new bottle of dish soap. Tuesday HE did the dishes. Wednesday I go to the dishes and there is no dish soap. He has no recollection of the soap, dishes, or Tuesday!!! What the hezzie?? It's 2010 and I still don't know what happened.
#3 Stupid arguments lead to stupid tears which lead to the puffy face! I don’t know about you ladies, but when I get mad, I cry. When I get sad I cry. I can’t help it….tears are my first reaction and my face swells up like chocolate marshmallows. The puffy face is not sexy! How am I supposed to find my next boo if I got the puffy face??
#4 Meeting the fam is pretty special for us girls. In our head that means we're special in your head. However, the divorce rate is hovering somewhere around like 40%. I gotta visit your two families AND my two families??? There are too many holidays for that! Plus, I know your Moms is frontin’…..she don’t really like me….Your Uncle Willie? Yea, I’m pretty sure he just made a pass at me. And really….. I just plain think my family is better than yours……
#5 My bodily functions are cute..... You need an exorcism!!
#6 I come. I go. I do as I please. No questions. No lies. Nobody gets hurt.
#7 You suck at giving gifts!! (ASSUMING you actually REMEMBER it's a gift giving occasion) Ladies! How many times did you get a gift from your boo only to utter to your girlfriends later "it's nice, BUT....." And really... how many flowers and how much chocolate do I need? You see me hitting the gym every day!!! C'mon son! Help me HELP YOU have good looking girl on your arm! And fellas…. if you really don't have the time or the energy to be creative remember this: C.R.E.A.M. - Cash Rules Everything Around Me!!
I'll get my own stinkin’ gift!
*Feel free to leave your own Benefit of Singledom and I'll edit for all the world to see!

My benefit of singledom: I can gawk and flirt with all the men I want to, without having to spare someone else's feelings or ego.
Benefit of singledom that I miss: Actually enjoying a meal at a restaurant. Once you have kids, that's all over. When you go out, you're feeding them, entertaining them, trying to keep them quiet....and it's no longer enjoyable for the parents.
Hi....it really sucks NOT being single in Alabama....just thought I would put my .50 cents in. Love the blog...do your thang! I miss you Mich...elll...lay!!

My blog is updated also....I love you and I am thinking of you...should you want to visit AL in the next 10 weeks....I got a spot! MUAH!

My benefit of being single is that I can come home and go to sleep. I be tired sometimes!!! Sometimes I just want to come home and go to sleep and not have to be bothered with anyone. And sometimes I want to stop and grab some food, come home and just enjoy my television shows (Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice).
If I wasn’t single, I might have to come home and attempt to cook a meal (notice I said attempt) AND spend quality time. So I do thank God that I am able to come home to me, especially on THEM days when I just DON’T. But, nevertheless, when that time comes, I will be honored to cook and spend quality time. Oh but until then….praise the Lord for these days.
One thing about being single is that you can enjoy God loving on you. Use this opportunity to find out about yorself. Enjoy those fries and being married will be enjoyable too....he's coming :) p.s...you can NEVER have enough chocolate and flowers <3
