I’ve had this other post sitting in my drafts for over a week now. I don’t usually write like that. I may put something on hold for a minute but I usually just explode all over my blog. I like it that way. I have feelings, I find my words and share them, release them. But this post wasn’t flowing, it wasn’t “Liz”…I was trying to write about my first Christmas as a Single Girl, and how emo I am about it, and depressed and boohoo. But it’s boring even me, because…maybe I’m not that sad?! I’m over it.
We have lot’s of new people around here, hi, I adore you! Lot’s of you have been on my journey with me though. Quick refresher-started a blog. Had a douchebag boyfriend. Cutesy, lovey, picture-filled posts of our dates. I was totes a “couple” blogger. If you really want to see them, they’re still there. Broke up. Badly. Since then, it’s been up’s and downs, redemption and forgiveness, good dates and bad dates, online dating, decisions not to date and learning to love myself. I wrote my “single love story” here.
Everything is so magnified this time of year. “I’m Single” becomes “OH MY GOD I’M SINGLE NOBODY LOVES ME I THINK I’LL CRY ABOUT IT, THERE WILL BE NO CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR BECAUSE I’M SINGLE.” Well. Here’s the thing, yo. I’m not crying anymore! I’m chilling the eff out. Is it a little bit lonely and do I have memories and flashbacks of holidays past with someone I love? Of course I do! But I am D-O-N-E being all sad. I’m at a new place in my life, on my journey. I’m dating a few guys, not blogging about them because A. not sure how to do so without sounding a wee bit skanky and 2. they aren’t worthy of my lovelies just yet. I also don’t think HE resides on the West Coast. So I’m just having myself a good old time for now, because I Just Haven’t Met Him Yet. This is my new anthem. Heard it in the car the other day, and it flipped a switch. Emo off…I JUST HAVEN’T MET YOU YET on! (Best.Song.Ever.)
It’s going to be different. But you know, today I was reminded of something. I do have a really special guy in my life. A guy who has never let me down, who I love more than anyone in the entire world. A guy who, when I think about why I am not settling, comes to mind. He has set the bar high by being a shining example of what a man should be…how he loved my Nana is how I want to be be loved one day. He is my favorite person in the Universe. He has been there for Gabby and I everyday of our lives.
My grandpa. Papa. I am getting a little bit choked up writing this-ok, a lot a bit…see, he’s 85. And I don’t like that one bit. He’s also getting a little forgetful. I really don’t like that. It scares me. This man is SO loved, and my heart will shatter into a billion pieces when I don’t get to hug him on Christmas Day. This year, again…I do. I’m the luckiest girl in the world. It’s going to be a Merry Christmas.
Someone told me- Liz, this year, your family and friends get 100% of you. They don’t have to share you with a guy and his family, so be present with them. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I know exactly what my Papa would tell me if he knew I was upset about being single this year…
P.S. Reading some comments…I am NOT down-that was kind of my point, ya’ll. 
{ 100 comments }
Aw sweetie, I do remember the douchebag. I totally deleted from my memory. But you know, you're still gorgeous, kind and loving individual. I totally adore you!!
And she's correct, you just haven't met him yet – he's there waiting for you!!!
Love you!
xoxo
"Not sure how to do so without sounding a wee bit skanky" – you are killing me!! LOL.
This is like my FOURTH Single girl xmas, so I will say, it's not that bad if you focus on the fam, friends and beautiful things…it wont be the same for next year I am sure of it darling!! Hugs & kisses for u love.
OH, Love. You are fantastic and any man would be lucky to have you, someday, he'll find you. I too flip the emo switch on when I hear the words single, but I suppose it's something to embrace.
I love you girly and know that through the sea of epic Douche bags there will be one wonderful man.
Kisses and Hugs!
I love this. I love your positive attitude, I love our motto… everything is going to be okay. And you are right — you just haven't met him yet! You will, and when you do – you will know and it will be amazing.
You deserve the very best, and settling would be absolute foolishness. Enjoy every minute of your "single Christmas"…
*Hugs*
PS
Totally did NOT know that you and Gabby were sisters. How did I miss this!?
Don't get down. Enjoy being single.You have the rest of your life once you meet someone!
Love the photos!
Single Christmases give you more time for Papas and Nanas and all the important people that end up sticking around anyway! Ya know what bums me out though? My fam lives way across the country, and since I'm home for the holidays every year, I never get a hot New Year's makeout session. Yeah – my New Year's Eve's are often spent in my pajamas watching the ball drop on CBS.
wah-wah-wah
As long as you find somebody to smooch at midnight – you're golden! P.S. How much do I adore Mister Buble?
Dude. best post ever. You do NOT need a guy to be fabulous.
Guys are like accessories, sure they make you look good and they are hell of a fun thing to have around… Yet, accessories break, we change styles, we fall out of love with them and in the end it comes down to just us
I love this post and I love your outlook!
and whoever told you to spend it all with your family is RIGHT. There is only so much time we get for this… We got to make it count.
Love you xoxoxo
celebrate yourself and being by yourself – you'll know when you meet the one. hold out for the right one too – don't settle!
As for your grampa – i know how you feel. my gran turns 90 next year. old people are precious and we need to spend every moment we have with them being IN the moment.
Oh honey, I don't know if I'll laugh or cry with this post. But one thing is certain, I had major goosebumps when you talked about your grandpa. Yes, being with family is the best.
Don't worry about being single… make this our little secret (although all the other bloggers here will find out.hahaha!), how I wish I have remained single all my life. I could have gotten pregnant and not chose to marry. That's what I've been asking my Dad now, why did you allow me to get married? Hahaha! But I love my kids to death, no man can surpass that.
I love this.
Oh, and am I a "couple blogger?" I don't think I want to be that. Text me asap and tell me if I am. kthanxbai.
No, I really do love this. And, no, I don't think you're down at all. I think you're free, I think you're on fire, I think you're just starting to fall in love with yourself as you really are and i love that… and you. I was just talking to Carina about you today and telling her how much I love you.
So there.
Oh, and I bought a really expensive curling iron. Just a little fyi.
Oh I'm so there too. I love this saying. I think I'm going to keep repeating it in my head. Aww about your grandpa. My grandma is 84 and she's starting to get a lil forgetful too. She told me to elope on thanksgiving I was like with who? and she said, "I dunno, the one." I haven't met him either. I hope you get to spend the holidays with your family because your family never leaves your heart. =)
no worries, I think this will be one of your best christmas's ever, just with the family, like it was when we were young a carefree! It'll be nice!
This will also be my first single Christmas in a while! Go us! Good for you for not being sad. I also have my moments where I feel lonely and totally bored…but i'm happier than i've been in a while. I love these kinds of posts.
Oh Liz, Enjoy him all you can while he is still here with you! He deserves you! You seem like a really sweet girl to "settle" for a douche bag..we chicks do not have time for those! Smile it will be a great Christmas!P.S. I loved the blog..it wasn't super sad ..it was sweet!
Bre
just coming over to say i love you back!
and you have SO many people who adore you…you're not alone this christmas AT ALL. xoxo
liz, this is perfect! just shows how great your outlook on life is. this makes me feel ok if I am single soon. you are beautiful. love you.
Oh I am a "couple" blogger but if you shoot up the 5 we can be a threesome blogger. Hahahahahaha just kidding I would never share you with M. Love you lady. I think we need a CA meetup since we are the best coast. Wait love all the East Coasters! But secretly we are the best coast.
Hmmmmm maybe one less beer would of been good
Boys lie and make girls cry. That's my motto. jay-kayyy.
Ok, but seriously. I have just started to embrace myself… I love being single again. I get to go out with who I want to, flirt with the cute guy at the bar who… oh how convenient… just bought me and my girls our first round of drinks… and if I don't feel like texting someone back, I won't get into a fight about it later that night.
Your family and friends get 100% of you… but YOU get 100% of you too… bc YOU are fabulous and deserve ALL of you… without settling for anything.
love you, girl! xoxo
I'm a new reader, so I don't know about those dark times, but I'm so glad to find you in a happier place.
That is such a perfect way to see things, that your family has you all to themselves this year! Hope this is a great Christmas for you.
Sincerely,
Sandra
I'm showing this post to a friend…it's going to help her!
I love everything about this post.
I mean seriously…
this: "Liz, this year, your family and friends get 100% of you. They don't have to share you with a guy and his family, so be present with them." brought tears to my eyes.
This is my first single girl Christmas in a LOOOOONG time and reading that made me snap out of whatever pity party I was trynna have and be grateful for the beauty of "what is" and just enjoy my family!
thank you for writing this!!
Your papa sounds the best, so great! Yeah life is an interesting journey that's for sure babe!
hugs and xxx,
xoxo DJ
As a new reader, thank you for this post. Congratulations on your first single Christmas. I believe it's a milestone worth celebrating. And I agree with your Pops…the right guy is out there, and he can't wait to meet you.
You go girlfriend! Your Papa sounds like a legend! My Nan held a similar place in my heart… I lost her last month and I'd really been looking forward to one last Christmas with her – it wasn't to be, but she is still here with me in spirit. I know that even more now… You're little comment 'you are my sunshines'… My Nan used to sing that to me all the time!
I love that you are totally stealing the "First Ever Single Guy Christmas" hook! Witch! Oh well, I owe you big time for the use of the word "haute."
This post was just what I needed today. I was feeling all weepy meepy but writing happily and feeling like a fraud. So thank you.
Love xoxo
awwww! liz, this was so sweet. every grown up girl needs a christmas or two on their own. i think you'll love this one. and i'm a little bit jealous that you have such a great "papa." i never had a grandpa…they were all gone by the time i came around. and my dad sucked, so i always wanted a really fantastic grandpa. please enjoy him!
You have everything you need for a perfect Christmas, you're an amazing and strong person, and you have a beautiful family around you!
xoxo
Wow, it's amazing how you've managed to turn your entire viewpoint around.
Now, that's a reason to celebrate huney.
Have a merry christmas!
Yay for the singles!
I'm not big on the whole "relationship" thing bc well, I'm 15 and at this point in my life, I just want to have fun.
And who needs a "boyfriend" for that? "Boys" will do
So go on, double book dates on saturday, celebrate with the fam and the girls and have a FAB Christmas, babe! You deserve every bit of it
I love this anthem! I totally believe in timing when it comes to love. Maybe this new move to NYC is a part of the plan!!!
Aw, Liz, I didn't read your blog at the beginning (sorry, I wish I had found you sooner) but your posts are always exactly what I need to read.
We always make a point to spend christmas with our families instead of each other as we don't get to see them very often, so enjoy your family, I know I will, I can't wait!!
Also your Grandad sounds amazing, mine is also getting a bit forgetful but I still adore him
I love this attitude! You are not a sad single, you just haven't met him yet. I need to remember this in – hopefully not to soon – bad times! I'm sure you will have a great Christmas!
I love this attitude! You are not a sad single, you just haven't met him yet. I need to remember this in – hopefully not to soon – bad times! I'm sure you will have a great Christmas!
Oh darling we are in the same love boat! Your dad sounds like a great man… No matter what, you'd have a joyful Merry Christmas sistah!
xo as always okie~
I love that Michael Buble song!! I was obsessed with it forever. I may even play it in my care this morning during my commute because I know it puts a smile on my face. And ya nevah know, maybe Mr. Buble was singing it about you;)
xoxo
I'n not worried about you! You are beautiful, strong, confident, and you just haven't met him yet
holiday hugs to you my friend!!
xoxo Laura
Darling, I can totally empathize!
Yay for being a fabulous single gal!
Love what your friend said about being present with your loved ones, too…
xoxox,
CC
Hi Liz – I just clicked over from K:Law and well Summer is one of my favorite people in the world – so I figured it was time that I met you too.
I think this post is amazing – and I say a big healthy "GOOD FOR YOU!!" on enjoying Christmas.
<3 Kim
still love this post…loved it then love it now!!! and i love that song…
next year all i am saying is nyc.a goat. a mini horse. a ginormous tree. and walking around being brizilliant! done and done…love it!
did i mention how excited i am for you! cause uh.i am lady!!!!
love you!!!!
Ahhhh!! This post is exactly why I love you — Because you're effing badass, and you know it!!
So I just have to tell you this – Your story about your Papa totes made me tear up a bit because I am in the same boat with my own grandad…(He's been having some serious medical issues lately and is also showing signs of the early stages of Alzheimer's. Breaks.My.Heart.) Christmas with his isn't an option this year, so be sure to hug your grandpa a few extra times for me, okay love?!
Your Christmas is going to be absolutely fabulous — just like you! And I cannot wait to hear all about it! I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little jealous that I can't spend all my time with MY family this year. But that's neither here nor there.
You're Right — Mr. Unbeweavable is out there…you just haven't met him yet. And that's okay. What's the hurry?!
Now, all that being said, just because you haven't met HIM yet….totes doesn't mean that you can't have fun with some NOT HIMs until you actually meet HIM, right?!
Just thought I'd throw that out there… haha
Love you to pieces! xoxo
Awww I love that you have such a wonderful grandpa. My mama tells me magical stories about her daddy I never got to meet and I still cry over the fact that I missed out on having him in my life. We would have been great buddies for sure. My dad's dad… not so much. So love on your Papa lots for me!
This Christmas will be one to remember for sure, one you'll cherish always. Enjoy it, my love! XOXO
That's so awesome you still have your grandpa around. I never had a chance to know mine. He's sounds amazing.
I bet your perfect person is waiting for you right now in NYC!
P.S. Dating around doesn't make you skanky…if you went on a reality show and made out with a different dudes in a STD infested hot tub THEN you would be skanky hahahaha
Stay positive about all of this!
Just keep your eyes open…you just haven't met him yet!
I hope you will have a great Christmas. I'm sure you will. Sometimes it's actually nice to have a Christmas being a single. I'm going through that this year myself. Have fun. Cheers!
oh Liz, NOW I would like to hug you tight tight tigh-yy!! it's a matter of time and don't get in a rush.. you're gonna met him sooner or later.. just make sure that it won't happen too quick or something..
and thanks for your support on me.. i love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much.. just know that, ok??
xxxxxxoooooo
hi there – i'm a newer reader, but love your blog.
i love this post! i think that so many girls get stuck in the cliche "boo hoo, poor me" attitude at the holidays. the holidays aren't about having a significant other to exchange presents with, etc. it's about family and love and celebrating the season – with ALL of those who are important in your life – friends, family, coworkers – whoever it is.
good for you deciding to be a happy & normal single girl. and you're right – i absolutely love that song. every time it's on the radio i turn it WAYYY up
i hope i can get to this point too. i'm suddenly and abruptly single and really not excited about christmas or new years. this post at least helped a little. xo
Glad to here that your excited to be single! And you def will be an amazing present to your fam and friends. =]
THANK YOU! i though this was going to be a poor-me-i'm-single post and girrrrl you proved me wrong.
my favorite thing about this post is the love you have for you papa. my grandpa is my favorite person too. though he didn't always treat my abuelita that great, he did love her since the first day he met her at 11 years of age. she's passed on and he's still here alive and kicking at 83.
i love him dearly and don't even want to think about the day he's gone…hurts to much. so instead i take every second in with him since DUH i'm his princess
You rock my world… this post was beyond perfect. And I loved reading it… because this will be my first single Christmas in YEARS. I feel so much of what you wrote- but I'm gonna take your outlook and make it my own too.
And I love your Papa- he sounds like he's set the bar pretty high for any other man in your life to measure up to… but don't we all need someone like Papa in our lives?
And that song… my new theme song. And I feel like now I should start hanging out at the grocery store more….
OMG how the heck do you get through ALL these comments> I would have an aneurysm!
I know I am a new follower but I have felt since the first post I ever read of yours, that I always got 100% of you. I have to go back through your archive now!
I have never had a "single" christmas. Wierd. I am 28. WTF. This is the 2st christmas the BF and I are having alone, with no families or travel plans. Just me and him. So that;'ll be a nice change of pace =)
i loved this post Liz! you are so awesome. seriously. i have had many a single christmas's. this will be my first one married and i am excited for it, but looking back on the single ones, when my heart wasn't aching over a boy who broke it, those were some of the best. just me and my friends and family. you are amazing! you deserve nothing but the best!
oh and i am the same with my blog! i just kind of explode all over it. i never really think before i post. oops!
I heart you. I think you are amazing and you definitely haven't found him yet. In the meantime, enjoy the time with your family and your Papa and when you do find "him" he will also be your family and someone who loves you and needs you and supports you the way that you deserve it.
xoxo
That's the best quote ever! Aww! he sounds like such a wonderful man
Yay for not being down and for having the cutest Grandfather ever! And Single Girl Christmas…yes, yes, yes! I think you should record a song called Single Girl Christmas – it can be our anthem until we find boys who are worthy of our loving!
Adore the pictures – even better than twinkling fairy lights! Love you!!!
"I'm dating a few guys, not blogging about them because A. not sure how to do so without sounding a wee bit skanky" .. haha you're right, we ARE leading the same life a couple thousand miles away ! I really hope my last post didn't make me sounds skanky .. hehehe! Oh boys.
My grandma's 99 and you're right, this year I'll get to be there for her and my mom, 100%. Maybe single christmases rock, I guess this year we'll find out!!
love your attitude.
love your strength.
love your determination.
love your song pick.
love you.
Yet is the key word.
It is amazing your friends and family get 100%. You rock lady.
Glad to hear you are not sad to be sinlge. I think of Christmas as a family holiday anyway…Like with parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. So, way to think that too!
And, I hear you about being scared because of the age of your beloved Papa. I am super super close with my Gram, and she is 80 and starting to be a wee bit forgetful and I HATE IT. Just hate it. I can't imagine my life without her! We still have so much fun together!!
why am i mad tht u sound so right…
haha but christmas shud be great thnks for the post hun.
maybe its tht fact tht i thought tht way.
Liz I absolutley love your posts on love, or lack thereof. You describe the way I feel to a T, no joke (only worded a million times better). I love this one, it brings me up a little bit more and makes me want to tell everyone who is trying to find me someone, to SUCK IT. Because I'm OKAY. And the song is perfect, I'm convinced that THE ONE is out there…somewhere (though clearly not on the east coast).
This is my FAVORITE post of yours since I started reading your blog!
You've got to guest-post for me sometimes. Email me at mellow1422@aol.com!
boys are dumb rocks. Monkeys are where it's at…you know that.
ps
i can not wear socks like that in the first picture as MUCH as I want to because it squeezes my thigh fat. not cute.
aw, lady i love everything about ya!! what a great post.
your papa sounds like a wonderful man
btw, i heart that michael buble song and just him in general!!
i am hoping to get tickets to his concert, they go on sale tomorrow!! woo hoo!!
i hope you have a good weekend luv!
Time off is definitely a good thing sometimes. Enjoy the holiday with family friends and no (or hopefully less) drama.
WOW! Coooooool post, Liz!
Please don't forget to enter the Hoolala lucky bag giveaway!
I loooove that song and it's my mantra this season too. Broke up w/ bf in October. Next time I break up (lol), I am going to wait til AFTER the holidays…ya… haha.
This post was exactly what I needed to hear right now. A reminder not to settle because someone who deserves you is out there. Thank you for this.
He IS out there. And he IS just fabulous…but in the meantime you've got just the right attitude. You're an amazing daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend. And all of us who love you are lucky to have you in our lives!
You made me tear-up with your love for your grandpa! I love this!
And on a brighter side, just think, the money you would normally spend on 'the guy' can now just go towards your very own Badass Christmas list! Because sweets, it's all about Y-O-U!
This is one adorable post and thank you for sharing it. I do remember the douchebag too, eventhough I'm still fairly a new reader. It will be fine and your christmas will be a very happy one this year without someone other than family. I'm on the same path right now, having my first christmas without someone is really going to suck big time.
You have made a lot of progress and changes to your life and you should be proud of them because you have not had the need to be with someone to get to the point where you are in your life, personally and professionally.
Besos
good attitude :] ive had plenty of those single holidays, and im glad i never settled for less because now i have my wonderful husband! ♥
single and FABULOUS and you know it! i love you for KNOWING it.
and when you have a man like that in your life… who needs another for this christmas at least right?
hug your grandpa for me… i miss mine every single day.
"you just haven't met him yet…" and when you do? you won't even remember the christmas you spent being single and fabulous.
xo
oh, so glad you are over the weepy stage and feeling good. i hope you meet HIM soon!!!!!! you will! you know it!
i love you and i miss you and you are wonderful and you will find the right boy! (but you know all that:)
i think it's high time you give grandpa a visit, if you know what i mean!
SO cute, that's how I felt about my Grandpa. I love this post – I had my first "single gal xmas" last year and it went off just fine
http://candyflosspersie.blogspot.com/
I am very happy you're not all sad about a single Christmas, because that would be lame and ruin Christmas for no reason. Enjoy your many many dates and act single for the both of us!
Awwww! I'm sure many girls could relate to this post. Goodluck on your journey and the new year is looking pretty damn fresh and hopeful
I hope your grandpa realizes just how special and lucky he is to have a daughter like you. Keep posting X
Liz you're so awesome and strong. And I love how Liz just totally comes out in everything you write. I can't wait to get together soon!! xox
Amen sista! This is a great post. You are so lucky to have Papa in your life. My gpops is getting old too. He turned 91 in June. I haven't seen him in WAY too long but next weekend I get too. I am excited but anxious as well b/c my dad has told me he doesn't look too hot. But I am just glad I'll get to see him around the holidays.
Count your blessings. We love you! And it sounds like you've found peace and are in a great place!
xoxo
Sweetie darrrlin'
here's for us ~WATCH!

You haven't met him yet but when you do, HE is going to be the luckiest guy ever because you rock. Seriously. Come spend Christmas with us in Texas…wouldn't that be so frackin fun??? Do it.
Liz, chill out and have fun….. that is what i tell my bff today.xoxo
Ok..hi it has been a while…Funny how you had to rewrite you werent down! Do people NOT read? Anywho…I adore that you adore your grandpa! Makes me gooey inside!!! xoxo
Lady… We're talked about this many-a-times but WE ARE THE SAME PERSON.
What you write, totally and completely resonates with me (ALWAYS). And you will meet him. But I don't need to tell you that because, well, you already know it.
xo
i have been a bad bloggy friend, my love. i'm sorry. please know i've been stalkin and i loveeee these words. you are a strong (as well as gorgeous) lady. and i love being your friends.
be there. be present. and have some fun–you're young! you deserve it.
and just because you haven't met him yet…doesn't mean he's not lookin for you. he is. he's comin as fast as he can!
(isn't that a fun thought? i think about it sometimes.:) )
Ok… this is not only my first comment, but the first time I've ever looked at your blog. I've been spider-webbing out from the blogs I read to the blogs they read, and anyway here I am.
I couldn't not comment, because your post rang true like a handbell choir. See, I spent 3 years on again off again with a complete bastard. (The kind who doesn't break your heart, but twists it, scratches it, and stomps on it daily.)
And after that, I decided that single was better. And I decided that nobody was going to tell me that single was sad. I love this quote from a Claudia Carroll book: "“Sorry, but I happen to like getting drunk on a Saturday afternoon with my friends if I feel like it. I like smoking in bed. I like eating or not eating or living on take-outs, entirely depending on how I feel. The sad single is a marketing notion peddled to us by Hollywood, and it doesn’t exist, and the sooner you realize that, the better."
And what's more, I decided that I wasn't going to be serious about anyone ever again unless they reminded me of my Grandpa. The man that I respect & admire more than any other man on earth. Just like you, I watched in awe at how he treated my Grandma with such tenderness and care. My Grandpa died a little over a year ago… and I'm still crying about it.
But I met a man who reminds me daily of him. I met him while I was contentedly living my life and making my own plans… one night when I was out to dinner with a girl friend, a night with absolutely no intentions of looking at or thinking about guys. And now I spend every day THANKING GOD for every memory of my wonderful, amazing, loving Grandpa, and for every new day with my wonderful, amazing, loving fiancé.
Enjoy this time in your life! Love your Grandpa with everything you've got, and never miss a chance to let him know how much he means to you. And definitely, definitely, hold out for the man who reminds you of him. Because everyone deserves a love like that, and it can happen if you wait for it and then work for it.
Liz- I love the way you write.
As a girl who spent sometime being single after a major breakup before i met darling husband… i completely relate to this. I had never been alone up untill that point. It was for me a double edged sword.. i want to be free and single but I also wanted th "dream"… my grandparents basically raised me when i was a child and the way my gramps looked at my grams… well i wanted that, i needed that and i found it, in the starngest place at the wierdest time. As will you.
Um kinda in love with that song. I sit in the garage and refuse to turn the car off when it's playing on the radio. Yes, radio, LOL. I must be the only girl on the planet without an i-something
I know you haven't. When you do. BAM!!! Look out lady, he's gonna sweep you off your feet, make you smile ear to ear and laugh till you think you might be sick and then he's gonna tell you, he's the luckiest man on earth. Because my love, my lizzy whizzy, my lizzy bear, he will be.
p.s. NYC dbags, stay away from Lizzy ya hear!
I adore this post, and I adore that song. Michael Buble, seduce me PLEASE….lol, sorry, that was a little much, but I LOVE HIM. I love the positive attitude. I'm a single girl this Xmas, too. It's very easy to get sucked into that wah, I don't have a boyfriend. I get that way sometimes, because I don't have anyone to spoil and shop for and cuddle with. I think you're doing great though. I think there's a time for everything. Life happens when we're making plans or so the saying goes. You'll meet the man of your dreams when you're supposed to…as will I. I 'm sure you'll have a fab Christmas whether you have a man or not.
Too many people like you in the real world and in blogland.
Good for you girlie!! Its so hard to be present in the moment, right? I need to take a cue from you and stop letting the Christmas blues get to me
Love this post! I haven't met him yet, either!!!
And as far as my cheer goes…I think I never will! Oh boy. 
You are so lucky to have Papa in your life though!!!! Wish I had one. Happy weekend!!!
I love this!! I love coming back to the blogosphere and catching up on your posts!
What a wonderful song and a wonderful post, even though you haven't met him yet you have so much to give Liz and what a touching story about your Papa! Here's to lovely single girl evenings (because you rock) and maybe in the near future a lovely Christmas with someone you have met and adore. XO!
i have been single for ages and yeah i get down in the dumps and lonely but then i think i am young *single* let me be selfish and enjoy this time when my life is about me. let me use it to discover me. wot makes me time.
and when i am good and ready he will come along and ;just hven't met you yet' is my current theme song too:)
absolutely effing love this post. you could have not put it better! i can so relate
This post is why I adore you! I, too, am spending my first single girl christmas this year. It's weird, and I've thought about how it used to be. But I'm ok with it because I get to devote all my love and attention to my family and friends. So, merry Christmas to us!
xoxo, Julie
darlin', this post just made me effin' smile. this is my first Single Girl Christmas too and keeping that song in mind is making it *that* much more bearable.
have a wonderful holiday!!!
Well said! If you're positive and do your best to enjoy life everything else will eventually slot into place
As they say 'Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans'.
Love the blog.
