After a nice long cozy sleep-in this morning, I hopped in the car and headed out for my ritual Starbucks...and it was on my drive here to Starbucks that I suddenly realized just how happy and free I am to be single on a Sunday morning in Pensacola....

As usual, there was some big event going on downtown today, and as I sat in my car at the corner of 9th and Bayfront Pkwy waiting to take a left, I saw a miserable looking couple waiting to cross the road. - They were the picture of absolute misery to me - woman looking tired, stressed and annoyed pushing a baby stroller, guy irritable and yelling at her, or just plain looking bored and wishing he had another life...
This was that couple - you could hear them arguing about what way to cross the street. The woman looked annoyed, the guy was yelling at her, "You're not making any sense!" and then proceeded to order her which way to cross - "This way! Over here!" he yelled at her....
I must admit, I found the whole situation kind of humorous because it was so stereotypical of "forced family fun" - a family trying to go out and have a good day and then it just turns into a fiasco....But anyway, after I laughed (cause I've totally been part of "that couple" before) the whole situation made me realize just how happy I am to be free and single on a Sunday morning in Pensacola, Florida!!!
Grant it, there are nights I walk down through the "fun" district and fleetingly think how fun it would be to be all dressed up out with a boyfriend out on the town, but this morning I just got my Salted Caramel Mocha, my Sunday newspaper, which is chalk full of pics and articles about the Blue Angels Air Show that I went to this past weekend, and I am feeling happy and free!
P.S. - Look for a special post coming soon with pics and videos from Blue Angels show!!!
