*I know better than the average woman how a man thinks.
I love a new pair of running sneakers something fierce.
**I can actually sing.
**I look a lot younger than I actually am.
I love going out with friends.
**I love staying in with friends even more.
I love gifts, but not at the expense of blowing the budget.
I may not like chocolate in theory but sometimes it's just what I need.
Sight reading piano music on demand for our church choir is good for me.
Sometimes the worst memories in life are the best experiences.
The Golden Rule really is golden.
***Just thinking "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus" makes me laugh.
I really do have more energy than the normal person.
My husband is spectacular and I constantly underestimate him.
* Story 1 - The end of school year brings tons of activities for our family and meetings for me. Think concerts, musicals, productions, meetings, etc..Because of this, I have been wearing nicer clothes. One day a neighbor stops me and says you look delicious again today. I said thank you. I explained that it was that time of year where I had to dress up regularly because of appointments. She said in all seriousness to me, "No, it's because your hubby is home." I laughed and continued on my way. And was reminded that if I was trying to impress my hubby it wouldn't be with business dress, it would be with nakedness. This concept along with others seems to allude most women.
** Story 2 - The other night I went out with friends. We were supposed to go to dinner, then relax at a friend's house. Everyone was claiming they needed an earlier night. Low and behold, friends text and we end up at a local favorite where Karaoke is being held and they insist on carding me because no one believes I am older than 21. I don't actually want to sing and after some ridiculous singing my friends agree I should back up dance and not sing. Eventually my friend talks me into a duet, Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" where she abandons me. Everyone is going wild, and the DJ confirms after that there were moments of brilliance in my singing. I guess being sober and not tone deaf really makes me a passable singer. Also I realized that I really would rather stay in and do chill stuff more often. I'm getting too old for that other business.
*** Story 3 - I was in a church meeting. We were discussing dealing with difficult people. And the kindest, most wonderful, what would appear to never be angry woman says, sometimes when I want to say something really mean, I think to myself "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus." A good concept but she was so passionate about this and it was so unexpected that I just cracked up, wondering what her idea of really mad is. To this day when I start to get really angry I remember this story and can't help but start laughing. It works for me too, maybe not for the same reason, but I'm sticking with it.
