Why Being Single Is Awesome

I can sleep in
I can spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes or shoes
I can get my baby fix on friend’s kids and then give them back when they start to cry or have a stinky diaper
I can go away for the weekend last minute
I can leave my place as messy or as clean as I want
I can read smutty magazines
I can watch Maury
I can have girly décor
I can get bi weekly pedicures
I can go out on the town and ENJOY a few beverages without having to worry about being up by a certain time the next day
I can hog the covers
I can sleep in the middle of my bed
I can use all the hot water in the morning for my shower
I can sit in the bathtub for hours
I can listen to MY music in the car
I can sing as loud as I want and off key
I can have full control of the remote control
I can wear sweats on nights and weekends
I can not shower all weekend if I want too
I can take as many Zumba classes as I want
I can burn my smelly candles
I can go make up free
I can watch the Notebook and cry like a little girl whenever I want
I can drink a bottle of wine, have chips and salsa con queso for dinner (Yes, I’ve done this)
I can talk to my cat like she understands me without feeling like a crazy cat lady
I can work out whenever I want
I can eat ice cream for breakfast
I can get my hair cut and colored without having to explain why I spent so much getting my hair done.
I can walk around my place naked
I can be 100% me.

The #1 reason why being single isn’t awesome:

At the end of the day… all anyone ever wants in life, is to be wanted, needed, appreciated, adored, loved, forever and ever. Sigh. I’m having one of those days.

Does it make me a bad married person if I still do about 95% of these things? (Though I assume a lot of that will change when kids come along...)

You absolutely deserve all of those things (to be wanted, adored, cared for) and you WILL find the right person who makes you feel that way. I know it's hard to be stuck in the waiting stage, but I'm glad you can look at all the things that really are awesome about being single. :)
