When I hear the word "public" my mind automatically thinks of comedian Ron White and the way he used to talk about being "drunk in public". He didn't say the word public in any normal way...in fact I found the way he said it to be quite obnoxious. I remember seeing him on TV several times and every time he said the word public I cringed. I believe that stuck in my mind because now whenever anyone says the word "public" I am reminded of the obnoxious way of saying it.
Lately, I've heard a lot of talk about public. We talk at work about going public with decisions that have been made. In class we often talk about how we are to act in the outside world (or the public). At church, I heard about inviting the greater public to a Christmas service that would be taking place in December. As you can see, I've been hearing the word a lot.
Not only have I heard it in these places, I have heard the word from my boyfriend. For a while now he has made a joke that I don't like to be seen with him in public. Well of course I interject my feelings and exclaim that that is not the case. He gets this smile on his face and says something like.. I know the truth, you don't like to be seen with me in public. Well today, as we were walking into a restaurant to have lunch with some friends, he made the comment that I don't like to be seen with him in public. Of course, I responded but this time he got a smile on his face. He said of course he knew it wasn't true, he just liked to see how I react to such things.
Well, I decided...I want the world to know I really do like to be in public with my boyfriend. If you didn't know that already...now you do. I love to be in public with him and in fact, I am a better person for being around him and with him. So the reality is quite the opposite...being in public with him means that I can show off the person that makes me a better person and that makes me "one happy woman." :-)

LOL...I love Ron White! ("I was drunk in the bar, they threw me OUT into public!") ROFL!!! Makes me think it would be cool to preach with a little tumbler of sippin' whiskey and a cigar.
Anyway, I guess you're trying to mask your being embarrassed to be seen with me in public by blogging (to the public) that you aren't embarrassed. ;-)
Hey, I've seen her shake your hand in the halls. I can attest to the facts. LOL LOL ROFL.
I'm kidding of course. I think you two are cute together. Almost reiminds me of Donny Osmond's song, Puppy Love.
You know.. shaking hands is what mature couples do. Haha.. then when he hugged me and picked me up.. you said that was too much.
