the little things...

Sunday evening I had the opportunity to hang out with my siblings and eight nieces and nephews. The house was total chaos. The kids were all sugared up and ready to GO! My brother was so completely stressed out from the noise he took 1/2 a Valium. (We kept waiting for it to kick in because we thought he was going to lose it.) I guess the kids have been going crazy for days and he'd just had enough.

As we were sitting at the table playing games I had this blessed realization that the noise wasn't really bothering me. [In fact, earlier in the night I'm pretty sure I was contributing to it. I love my little nieces and nephews laughter so I was tickling, chasing and "tormenting" them just to hear their little shrieks of laughter.] I turned to my sisters and brother and asked them, "Is it really that noisy? I guess I'm not really bothered by it because I know at the end of the night, I'm going home to a completely quiet and calm house. No kids bouncing off the walls there! It was quiet when I left and it'll be quiet when I get home."

Not one of them thought that was very funny. Hey, I've gotta enjoy the little things like peace and quiet while I can. (I also very much enjoy my nieces and nephews too!)

I Love My Stuff

The other day I was laying on my bed and looking around my bedroom and all I could think was, "All this stuff is mine." Marriage will be great. I know. But I'm going to have to share everything then. Right now, all my stuff is just for me. When, other than now, can I ever have turquoise walls and hot pink curtains and bedsheets? I love it.

Being Single CAN Totally Rock!

So, I've invited some of my wittiest friends to join me on this endeavor. :)

Some people think it's seriously so amazing to be a newlywed and married and they are so blissfully happy. And if you're not married, that can never be you...you CANNOT be happy! HOWEVER, you can be just as amazingly, blissfully, happy as a single person. OH NO! Did I "say" that out loud!? For real! It's true! You can be happy and single.

This is an opportunity to collectively share our most entertaining, fun, enlightening, blissful and happy moments that happen to us as single adults! So feel free to share and read and share! :)
