Merry Christmas! I hope you had a joyful day with loved ones. I spent this Christmas as I do all Christmases...with my family. But this year it was at my house. I was a little wiry at first, because of all the work that goes into hosting a large family for the holiday, but it turned out great!
I had a mini breakthrough this Christmas and I truly appreciated spending time with my family. I put my iPhone, and computer away, and engaged in the activities and conversation.
I had a very blessed Christmas to say the least, but the best part of my Christmas wasn't the Coco Channel perfume I got, or the Marc Jacobs wallet, but it was reading my Grammy the poem I wrote her. She shed a tear (which I've never seen her do) and she told me I was going to be the next Oprah (at which I laughed hysterically). My grandma swears I could be the President of the United States if I wanted to. That's just how much she believes in me.
It was at this moment that I was filled with so much pride. And I realized that whoever I marry will not only have to live up to my expectations, but they will also have to live up to the expectations that my family sets for me. My family holds me up to a high esteem, so I can't just be with anyone. I wouldn't want to let my Grammy down.
Of course I set my standards pretty high already, but sometimes charm and good looks can get in the way of my judgement. Now I will evaluate or re-evaluate dudes a lot different when it starts to get serious, because I deserve to be with the best.
Posting this song...just because I like it. :) one day me and my special guy will chill on the couch and listen to oldies like this one!
