the ultimate

It's Christmas eve, and I spent it chillin out, going out to eat, taking pictures of epic Christmas trees and going to church. Church was pretty awesome, and I have to say if you don't go to church Christmas eve is the time to go. It's laid back, beautiful, nostalgic and for me tonight it reminded me that I am single....shock. I came in by myself, sat by myself, had a guy that I barely know try to talk to me... and well, I'm rambling.

I was thinking about being single being alone, missing my family, and then in the middle of the service we read Isaiah 53. Pastor Jack mention that Jesus came to earth, and he didn't come as the best looking guy, no he came as the homeliest one. And he picked that body.... the only person who ever got to pick what he would look like and he chose to be homely. Now at this point my mind wandered a bit. And I thought, how much do all of us wish we were better looking? And the man we worship chose to be homely, but not just that. He chose to live life single and die a virgin. Humbling isn't it? Just want to remind you that the next time you want to complain that nobody gets what you're going through... He gets it.

God Bless, Have a Merry Christmas!

How to get a really pretty girl

Hey Guys,

Those of you who know me well know I have a lot of friends. I have friends of just about every type married friends, single friends, single guy friends, single girl friends, and I'm going to let you in on a secret. (This probably isn't much of a secret if you have sisters or have seen girls hang out.) When girls get together they talk about you.. a lot. Not the same kind of talking that guys do about girls. For example, it's a rare day when you will catch a girl talking about a guys abs. But we do talk about you, and lately I have been in a lot of conversations with other single girls that run the gamut from drop dead gorgeous to pretty and here are some things that we all say... If you want us to date you.....

1. Ask us out. This should be a duh, but it's really not. All the guys we know that ask girls out have girlfriends. And the rest of you we have never seen do it. Girls want a guy that wants them. We have been told, and reinforced by the way you treat us when we do take the initiative that asking you out is a bad, bad idea. Honestly, almost all the single girls I know (though they don't want to admit it, because it's humiliating to admit) have not been asked out in months or sometimes years... Do you realize what this means guys?... If you don't look like the green eyed monster and are not completely what she hopes to avoid, you have a VERY BIG chance of getting her if you will go up and just do it, and don't worry about acting nervous... You getting nervous is a huge compliment.

2. Get a job. We get that the economy is bad. We are going through it, too. We've had our bouts with unemployment, but we all keep hoping someone will come along who can support us.  What this means exactly is different for each girl I talk to. But yeah, you need a job.

3. Move away from Mom. Now if you are still in college this does not apply to you. You need to work on school and getting a degree. Nobody expects this of a college kid. After college once you have gotten a job, you need to try to move out. Now this doesn't mean you have to buy a house or have your own apartment. If you work at Burger King and have to live with 4 other guys in a two bedroom apartment in order to make ends meet, that's okay. Living with mom, nope. And here's why. Living on your own forces you to learn how to manage money, you have to do your own laundry, essentially you have to grow up. Women don't want to be with manchildren. And your mom, if she lets you stay home, is not helping you.

These are the three things girls complain about. If you have all these things going for you and girls still tell you, no. I do not know what to tell you. Maybe you're asking the wrong people. As far as ,looks go we're all looking for different things. Just don't give up if the first girl you ask tells you no.

Well, here's hoping this helps. :)

Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas! And God Bless!

my first try

I'd be lying if I said this was actually my first try at blogging. During myspace's hayday I actually blogged on there. Please don't read it. It's a waste of time. I've been building up to this. One of my friends from elementary school is an awesome blogger and I keep thinking I want to do something like her blog. Only she is married with kids and blogs about that and I am, well, not. And that was really what I wanted to blog about actually.

I guess I'll give a little intro on myself. My name's Ruth. I describe my self as half gypsy, half wandering Jew. Those are figurative, not literal. ;) I spent my growing up years moving around a lot with my family, and my adult years moving around (to get) away from my family. I've lived in several states and a couple foreign countries. This I'm sure will play a part in my blog many times. Please if you read my blog don't ask me if any of the places I've been to are different. Please just don't.

Well, this is where I run out of time and say hope this wasn't so boring that you never want to read anymore ever again.

Peace, love and all that...
