I’m currently reading this book. I’ve read it about four times. The author does a superb job of revealing the ups and downs of single-hood. I mean, as a single girl you have great moments and then you have the crappy moments. I usually have my great moments when I’m on my Single Trips. I get this overwhelming independent feeling. It makes me want to scream, “I’m women, hear me roar”. I never do because that would be weird, but that’s when I love being single. The crappy moments are when you want to make a huge pan of brownies and eat all of them. Well everyone might not go that route. For me, the crappy moments occur when I get my 30th wedding invitation in the mail. I happy for the person, but it’s just another reminder that one less guy is roaming the earth looking for me!

This morning I was talking to my friend Holly; by talking I mean we emailed twice this morning. I was venting, ok maybe whining, about being single. She offered this piece of advice…. God has promised you that he is going to supply all of your needs and He will. She’s right! So why in the crap am I worried about being unhitched? Why am I freaking out about receiving another wedding invitation? I’m sure it has something to do with someone getting married and I can’t get a date. But is it really worth all the worry? I can’t do anything about my single status. I can’t speed up this process. No matter what I do, nothing will happen until God wants it to happen. The ultimate matchmaker is not done with me as a single person; so until then I should chill and enjoy life! Besides, single-hood is fun. Oh come on, it is.

To embrace my single life, I’m saying good-bye to thoughts like this...

(Excert from the book above)
I gaze around the singles' group and it's rife with its reasons. Tim Hanson has those hair plugs that look like he's sprouting a row of corn on his head. Jake Henley has been pining over an ex-girlfriend that no one's ever seen, for, going on three years now. He still talks to her on the phone, and I just want to clobber him and say, "Wake up, dimwit! Either marry her or move on!" To waste your life on an emotional relationship that is going nowhere is such an easy out, don't you think? It makes him unavailable, and avoiding commitment is now that much simpler.
