Girlie Movies
I was a TOTAL cheat today…but I started yesterday, and I was craving the usual: salt and chocolate. I went to the fast food place that I like to visit sometimes, and…gasp…got chicken strips and fries instead of a salad. Oops! And I went to see The Lake House with some friends (loved it!!!) and I had some chocolate covered raisins. I guess I could have done worse. I did not eat all of the chocolate covered raisins (my mama taught me how to share!) and I got a small fries instead of the big one…I’m not making excuses. I am acknowledging that I could have done much worse. At least I showed some restraint!
I really liked the movie! I sure am a sucker for those romances sometimes. I liked that it was a purely unrealistic, but well-crafted love story where, in the end, I felt like they really were in love and not in lust. It reminds me of some of the classic romance movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and An Affair to Remember. <sigh> I can’t wait until I feel that way! I have dated enough to know that I don’t really want to date for the sake of dating anymore. I’m holding out for that Godly, motivated, wonderful man. I’m willing to wait for him (like I have a choice…God usually doesn’t consult with me before making plans for my life…but seriously, His plans are WAY better than mine anyway!). I just hope he comes soon! Until then…I am definitely okay with being single and independent. It’s nice not to have to worry about someone else or consult with someone before booking a hair appointment…
One thing I do know: I will NOT put my life on hold until some man comes. I met a woman who was in her 60’s and was still hoping to marry someday, and was telling people she was available if anyone knew of a good, Godly man for her. She’s lived a full life, spent time overseas, made lots of adventures for herself. And she’s happy. I want that. I look forward to the day where my husband can enjoy those adventures with me. Until then, I will have to journal well so that he can experience them vicariously.
My next adventure will be: Mexico. I haven’t ever been on a vacation just to go see a place. I’m always going to see some person or do some charitable work for someone. Those things are GREAT…don’t get me wrong. I’m just excited about going someplace beautiful where there is no agenda except to relax and enjoy myself. Whew! February can’t come fast enough! Unfortunately, tomorrow is coming faster than I would like it to…time to go be productive.
