"... and harder to kill the ghost of a no-good man."- miranda lambert
i was re-reading over my recent blog posts and i got to thinking about how terrible it must look to someone who doesn't know me and stumbled across this. i come across as a man-hating, jaded, feminist, which in all reality is not the case at all. i am just a girl who grew up waiting for my prince charming and has found that in recent years, such a "prince" is not so easy to come by. my mom always told me that i "had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my prince," but i have done my fair share of that and i'm just tired of it. i know i'm not alone in this and i'm not saying that i'm some perfect woman that every man should want. but i am a caring person, who is adventurous, and keeps her heart on her sleeve. it is just annoying to keep putting myself out there and get involved in "not ideal" (to put it nicely) situations repeatedly. i started writing, and continue writing, this blog completely for fun. my girlfriends and i have a great time talking about things we go through and then i use this as a way to vent about the indiscretions of the men in our lives.
i know i rip a lot on men and drinking, but the truth is, i'm a fun-loving girl. i love to party. i've sent a few drunk texts in my day. i've sipped a few too many cocktails. but through all that, i can still say that i have always treated the people in my life the way that i would want to be treated in return, and not always had the guts to stand up for myself. so i talk a big game in my writing to make-up for the non-confrontational person that i usually am in reality when it comes to my personal life.
i heard this great quote last night on the bachelorette: "Burgundy makes you think of silly thoughts. Bordeaux makes you talk about them. Champagne makes you do them!" so from here on out, here's to a little less thinking/talking... and a lot more doing! champagne, anyone?!
