What I’ve Been Missing All These Years
I don’t have a lot of time to post today; I have to get ready for my date.
Yep, I have a date. And not one of my handwringing, neurotic overanalyzing Facebook Guy dates, either. This is a real live, bona fide date. The kind where the gentleman requests the pleasure of your company well in advance of the event and makes it clear that you won’t be going dutch. He even used the word “date.” Which in my book is totally the clincher.
Even better than that, though, it’s the fancy kind of date. I don’t know exactly where we’re going, but I do know that this date is the kind you dress up for. The kind where you break out the special dress from the back of the closet and maybe give the red peeptoes another chance.
I’ve felt giddy all week as I looked forward to tonight, and not just because my parents are keeping The Ladies overnight (although that has certainly played a part). I’ve been planning my outfit, picking out my makeup, and pondering hairstyles all week. In short, I’ve been positively girlie with excitement about this date. Is this what I’ve been missing out on all this time? Because this part of it? This part is actually kind of fun.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, The Man I Didn’t Marry will be here any moment and I still have to get dressed.

That last line was killer.
I bet you thought of that days ago and were just waiting to use it.

Have fun sunshine!! At least the end of this week had a bright vibrant rainbow at the end of it! Oh, and I wanna know ALL the details (well except for the part where you didn’t come home, maybe leave that part to just the non-comittal answer).

I can’t help it, am jumping round the room doing silly girly giggles.
Please tell all, although I do agree with Sweetypi maybe not quite “all”

Whoa.
Can’t wait to hear the report. (Do we get a report? Now that you’ve given out the URL, I’m concerned that you may have to go all cryptic on us.)
