Single on New Years?
Single on New Years? I think New Year’s Eve is
overrated. I always have. And I do not believe it is because I am
42 and single. It is like when you hear a movie is the greatest
movie ever made and your expectations are so high that when you see
the movie you think, “Well, it was alright.” Same with New Year’s
Eve. If you go into to New Years not expecting much you will
probably have a great night. My plans are to hang out with my
almost 3 and 7 years old nephews. You are probably thinking that
will end at 7 p.m. Nope. These kids are on some crazy rock and roll
schedule with their night owl parents and the kids will probably
put me to bed. This will probably be a great New Year’s because I
know I can expect lots of tickles, hugs, kisses, rounds of hide and
seek and diaper changes. These type expectations probably won’t let
me down. Whatever happened so great on New Years anyway originally
that set the standard so high? Is it like Fat Tuesday? Everyone
knows they plan on dieting as soon as the New Year rolls around so
this is the last chance to eat up? The worst New Year’s Eve I ever
spent was on the millennium! I was a flight attendant at the time
and laid over in I thought, “Well, at least I can go have a glass
of wine or dinner with the crew.” The crew turned out to be a PDA
gay couple and me. No one wants to hang out with a PDA couple gay
or straight! And the hotel was having a narcotics and AA convention
that night and had closed the bar. Not to mention, if you want to
know how to age very quickly– do a lot of drugs. These people
looked BAD! I hoped that this was not a sign of the year to come! I
can’t even remember 2000 so it must not have been too bad. Not like
2007. 2008 has been trying for me personally because I lost job and
one of my college roommate’s melanoma returned and other friends
have lost their dad or are currently fighting for their dad’s life.
But I did have great things happen too in 2008-appearing on CNN and
other shows promoting Princess Bubble. Making new friends and
hearing how Princess Bubble has impacted lives. My advice to you
this New Year’s Eve with or without sweetheart-expect nothing!
Think of it as a regular Wednesday night before a Thursday you
don’t have to work and you will have a great time. Even if you end
up soaking in the tub with tabloids and a glass of wine. (My
favorite thing to do-next to sitting on the beach.) Happily Ever
After and Happy New Years from us at www.PrincessBubble.com New
Release, Princess Bubble, Strikes Chord with ’s 51% SINGLE WOMEN
WHO, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, OUTNUMBER MARRIED WOMEN ,
December 28, 2008—This New Years almost 90 million Americans will
celebrate the romantic holiday single. Two successful prince-less
princesses show the world that being a stuffy Old Maid does not
have to be “in the cards” for single woman today! Susan Johnston
and Kimberly Webb offer girls of all ages updated version of the
traditional fairy tale. No longer a “Damsel in Distress,” this
princess travels the world, helps others, and finds “happily ever
after” even before she finds her Prince! With wisdom gleaned from
their careers as single, globe-trotting flight attendants,
first-time authors Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb have crafted a
modern-day book that celebrates singleness. A contemporary fairy
tale for all ages, Princess Bubble was written to reduce the
overwhelming sense of failure, self-doubt, and despair that some
single women face. “Knowing how low self-esteem and depression
plague many single females, we wanted to spread the message that
‘happily ever after’ can occur even before Prince Charming arrives.
. . or even if he never does,” said Webb. “We’re definitely not
anti-Prince,” said (whose college nickname was “Bubble”). “We’re
not anti-family or anti-marriage, if anything we’re anti-‘Damsel in
Distress.’ Our message—the single life can also be a fairy tale.
The End!” Princess Bubble stars a princess who is confused by the
traditional fairy tale messages that say she must find her “prince”
before she can live “happily ever after.” Princess Bubble dons her
“thinking crown” to research traditional fairy tales, interviews
married girlfriends, and even takes counsel from her mother, who
advises her to sign up at FindYourPrince.com. With a little help
from her fairy godmother (this is still a fairy tale after all),
Ms. Bubble discovers that “living happily ever after” is not about
finding a prince. “True happiness,” the book reveals, “is found by
loving God, being kind to others, and being comfortable with who
you are already!” check out www.PrincessBubble.com
