The List...no, not THAT list!

I need to get my blog out to more people and have more people take my survey, cause I am really very curious as to how many people are in a relationship because I feel like at least 80% of the people in my life are, I was hoping to get some data and real stats on this!

To go along with this thought-process and my last blog post, I started writing down all of the reasons I am happy that I am single at the moment while so many in my life aren't. Because the first step to a good relationship is that you have to have a good relationship with yourself. (Thank you to my friend/psychologist we'll call Hez and to my new books, "The Miracle of Mindfulness and "They Don't Teach Corporate in College" to helping me get to this point...finally!) Let's hope that by me getting to a good relationship with myself, the time will come when I can deal with a BF.

So here's the list (I reserve any right to change/add comments/remove/keep adding more to this list in the future. I am a Gemini after all people. I change my mind all the time!) Again, remember that these are just my reasons and I am happy for all those out there in their own relationships, if nothing else just have a laugh at my single-ness!

1) Less $$ spent on holiday gifts on the BF and his family = more $$ I can spend on my adorable Christmas cards from tinyprints.com (which i just got in the mail this Saturday and LOVE!)

2) To go along w/ #1... the more $$ I can donate to good causes during this holiday season and beyond :)

3) And to go along with #2... the more $$ I can spend on cute and warm clothes for me! (My Dad also just informed this weekend that he liked my new "Alpaca sweater") Point taken Dad but too bad I love it!


4) I don't have to report to anyone! I report to plenty of people at my job at X allll the live long day. Yes, I still occasionally have to answer to the parents, but it's a lot different when you're not in high school and not sneaking around anymore! Some people may completely disagree with me on this point and say they love having someone to talk to all the time and I would agree with that. I've just always been a very independent person and so I still love not having to report to anyone!

5) I have time to do things like this blog and starting to read all of these interesting books, some of which I have mentioned above. Time is most definitely a luxury I am beginning to realize. I still really miss all the days at MSU when we could day drink without a second thought and then go out and rage even more. Time peoples. It's a good thing as Oprah would say and my single-ness def contributes to this.

So that's where I'm at now. Like i said, I'm sure there will be more to this list and/or changes and comments. Please post them, I love the feedback! Time to put my free time into good use and go running, toodles!
