The Newly- Wed Game

My cousins (she’s my cousin now too, lol) invited me and his sister over for dinner tonight. It was hilarious. The only difference now is that she doesn’t ride home with us anymore. Any who; they were talking about their honeymoon in the Pocono’s and how much fun it was. They mentioned a game that the other honeymooners were playing called the Newly-Wed Game. It was a game to figure out how much you knew about your spouse. I think it is absolutely hilarious to see my cousin and his wife (it sounds so funny to say) talk with us; they are sickening! It made me happy that I am waiting. I want that; not the cute pukey stuff but the companionship that God has intended for me. Sigh, I am so happy for them; even though they were extremely sickening.

I Think I'm Infected.................

I figured that I could fight this disease for a while: Coupleness. Sad thing is I am so serious! My best friends and cousin are trying to infect me. To make matters worst the guy that has a crush on me (and I on him) is finally saying more than two words at a time to me; he's infected too. This used to make the avoiding a relationship easy because he was too afraid to hold a conversation and when he did, he stuttered. Now he wants to talk.... a lot (talk about overnight boldness). I have been so comfortable with being single because I finally had time to hang out with my girlfriends (something I never did) and focus on ministry more. I actually got to a place where I just wanted me and God and I loved it, no guy need apply (lol). Then here he comes: Mr. Man after my own heart, fashion loving and trend following, God-fearing, italian/slim suit wearing, Starbucks drinking guy and throws a monkey wrench in my plans. Oh the humanity! I saw him Saturday and you know what he talks about? My favorite store: Zara! To make matters worst all my friends and cousins are in on it (remember I mentioned EVERYONE is in a relationship now)! They're trying to set us up. But I will fight to the death! I will wear my singleness like a proud badge of honor (lol)! I know I am overreacting but I remember all that's involved: the akward glances, conversation starters, meeting the parents, your friends trying to decode average conversations, etc, etc, etc. ( I love the King & I, lol). I can fight it but for how long? And also isn't the saying is that it comes when you least expect it? Darn it; if that's the case then I think I'm in trouble.

Matching Outfits?

Happy Presidents Day! I am only saying this because I finally have a day off from work! THANK YOU JESUS! I was planning to go to the city and look for a dress for Saturday. My friends church is having a Youth Dinner, so I need a dress. Well, I don't need one but since I gave up shopping as part of my Daniel's fast I wanted to be in the stores badly. I need a fix, lol. My church went into a Daniel's fast for 21 days. From 6:00 am until 6:00 pm we refrained from food and sought the Lord. After 6:00, we were only allowed to have fruits and vegetables. It was easy except for the no caffeine and sugar part. My first week without coffee, I thought I would pass out! I decided to further sacrifice (I needed a serious breakthrough), I gave up shopping (its like breathing for me, lol) and wikipedia. Wikipedia, you ask? Yup, I read this website everyday! I love it, I learn something new everyday. if you haven't caught on yet, I am an absolute nerd. But I digress, I ended up staying home until the afternoon, I went to my cousins' job so we could go to the mall afterwards to dress shop ( I was desperate). It was there when my she revealed to me that she and her new boyfriend were going to do the unthinkable: wear matching outfits! I thought I was hearing things. My cousin is so anti-romantic I sometimes think she's a guy. But now that's she has entered courtship she has turned into a pile of gushing, always smiling, giggling, constantly talking about him GIRL! SMH, and I though she was family. I hope this doesn't catch, lol. This is 3 out of 4. I am all that's left in the single pond. I absolutely love it. But now that one wedding is months away, the next is planning hers and my cousin is now in courtship, I realize that girls nights out, group outings will now become double dating and couples outings. So now with this youth dinner looming on the horizon, and the reminder that the tickets sell as "single" and "couples" I cling to my identity as a "single" by a thread. I love the fact that I am in this stage of building and polishing but I think I am going to need new friends, lol. Who likes being a 7th wheel during bowling, movie nights, and at dinner outings anyway?
