In honor of Valentine’s Day next week I figured I would spread the love by sharing some secrets for my (unmarried) male blog readers. Here are 14 things girls say translated into what they actually mean.
By the way- I wrote this back when I was a single lady. By now realize I have to actually say what I’m thinking because married men don’t try as hard as single men.
I used to be single. During that time, Super Bowl Sunday often meant an opportunity to be around single men and try to see if any possible relationships could exist. Over the years I learned that it helps to at least pretend that I like and understand football in such a setting. Now, as a married woman, I still find myself creating a cheat sheet for big games just so I sound impressive.
I figured I could share this year.
That’s right. I said it.
Why? Because I’m here now. And it’s best place I’ve ever been.
Is the winter weather being a witch? Were you cheated out of your Powerball victory? Here are 7 winter date ideas for broke (and slightly insane) newlyweds:
Wanna go somewhere fancy for dinner but broke as a joke? Buy some of your favorite fast food treats, put them on fancy plates (with garnish) and make your kitchen a romantic candlelight oasis. Don’t forget the little black dress/suit and tie requirements.
When I was in kindergarten I thought I had to show all of my teeth when I smiled for a photo. It didn’t matter what clever technique my mother tried to use, I wasn’t going to grasp the concept of a natural smile. Needless to say, she didn’t have to worry about spending a ton of money on school pictures that year.
But as I got older, I actually became pretty good at smiling. Scratch that. I became great at smiling.
In fact, I became so great at smiling that I eventually decided it had to go hand-in-hand with my Christianity. I believed in God with every fiber of my being, and I knew He saved me. So how couldn’t I smile?
If I wanted others to know this God, they needed to see how happy He made me…right?
And my world fell in on me.
