Well after all that planning it’s done. Christmas is over and I am spending it in complete peace and alone. Having some great self reflection me time and loving it. Friends react with horror “on your own on Christmas day????” as if it should never happen. What have people got about being alone anyway?

Lauretta told me off about the “no sex before marriage” line on my Match profile so I changed it. I don’t even know if I really mean it anyway. I told her I was looking for a gorgeous looking 6 feet 5 inches black man and when God sends him my way will I really be able to wait?

I wrote about no sex before marriage here on my blog

You should go visit and check out the responses. There is a response from a guy called Vincent Wright that is so excellent it really made me want to wait!

All the planning, all the shopping and all the cooking and now it’s over and we move towards looking forward to another year. I hope your Christmas day was filled with joy and love.

I spent it at home on my own (kids are with their dad this year) and just enjoyed the peace! I do love being alone because I don’t get the opportunity often.  It also meant more to me this year because of my new found love of Jesus Christ.

I updated my About Me page with 100 things you might (or might not) want to know about me !

I just wanted to wish all our readers a very prosperous 2009. May you be blessed with everything God has planned of you.

On my way home I decided to pop into Waitrose to buy something nice for dinner.  Mid shopping I felt extremely ill and decided to telephone for a cab to take me home.  There I sat in the cab, feeling unwell the driver broke into conversation – you know the type looking at me in his rear view mirror, commenting on the area we were driving through remarking how nice it was.  We got to my place and sat outside exchanging cash, still talking.  He said ‘nice place’ I said ‘thanks it’s OK’ he said ‘do you live alone?’  I paused and said ‘yes’ he said ‘oh why don’t you get yourself a TOY BOY?’  I paused looked startled and said – ‘ ……. BECAUSE I AM TOO YOUNG!’  

Work it out folks! 

He pushed the change into my hand, looked embarrassed, apologised and drove off hastily.

MEN!

I don’t know why but that line had me laughing out loud.

I was in Job Center Plus and really NOT wanting to be there. As I flicked through their list of vacancies I noticed one for a toilet attendant and the first line said experience required. I started smiling and before I knew it I was laughing my head off. The security guards were looking at me and the people on the front desk were staring at me but I just couldn’t help myself.

So knowing Lauretta was at work and I couldn’t share the joke I sent a txt to another friend and told him and his reply was “shit job anyway!”

Thank God for laughter.
