I just love the holidays. As I shared in my book, “Real: The Truth About Being Single”, I don’t see many of my friends because most of them are married and spend time with their married friends. However, I really enjoy spending time with my family and extended family as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Of course, no holiday with family goes by where I can elude the popular question:
“So where is your man?”
“How are things going for you in the dating world?”
“Who is your boyfriend now?”
“Where is XXXX who took you all over the world?”
I used to dread the holidays because I always wanted the fantasy date to bring home. Now I have gotten past that, and can really enjoy my time (with or without the date).
So yesterday, my one relative said, “You need to realize and open yourself up to the fact that MEN ARE EVERYWHERE. They are working, they are homeless, they are all around you. You need to open yourself up and witness the men who are in your everyday life. That’s when you will meet THE ONE”.
Okay… so I already know from my daughter that I spend waaayyy too much time on my PDA (in private and in public). I have been out with girlfriends and guyfriends who always ask me,
“Did you see that man checking you out?
Of course I am like, “Where? I didn’t see it!”
Then they always say, “Kelly, you need to pay more attention to what is going on around you. Men are checking you out and you NEVER EVEN SEE IT”
Got it. I tend to believe that Ruth met Boaz when she was working… head down, doing her thing.
He RECOGNIZED HER – right? RIGHT???
Well, this weekend I have NOTHING to do. It is almost troubling for someone who likes to work. I don’t want to shop because I just cleaned out four closets of clothes and I still have too much stuff. In fact, I don’t want to buy ANYTHING. Even on sale.
soo…
this weekend I will open myself up to appreciate the fact that God created man and he is EVERYWHERE.
(smile)
I will appreciate every man who walks past me this weekend.
He who looks at me,
He who smiles at me,
He who looks at me, smiles at me, holds the door, buys flowers and chocolates at the local stand, and invites me out to dinner (ahhhh stop dreaming)
I will only view my pda for a brief moment in public, and spend time sitting, walking, enjoying Cleveland this weekend. And enjoying the many Men who inhabit this wonderful city.
I will conclude the weekend at the “MAN FEST” – The CAVS game on Sunday!!
Woohoo!!!
I will keep you posted, but I have to believe that I am not going to have time to take in all of the men that I will see and appreciate this weekend. I am getting “tickled pink” just thinking about it.
What an interesting new thing for me – juggling men HAHAHA!!
Okay – ladies enjoy your weekend, and enjoy the Men who are EVERYWHERE!!!
PS. Check out the Book of Ruth this weekend
