My second date in 4 years...

Diest TKO, some of your good vibes rubbed off on me!

I almost wouldn't consider my first date after my ex a "date" it was more like a friend accompanying a friend to a business cocktail function.

Anyway, here's my story, I'm just bursting at the seams to tell you all. In talking with my best girlfriend, we've determined that we need to get out more because we're not going to meet nice men just sitting at home with a book. So with Seattle being sunny and 50 today I took Marty to the dogpark.

I told him as we got out of the car that he needed to go find me a cute guy. He's such a good doggy.

So this guy approaches me and we started chatting. He asked where I was from and I asked where he was from. This got us to talking about my favorite subject since he is from Rome. We talked for about an hour and we walked towards our cars together. We exchanged numbers and he asked to meet me again next Saturday and maybe for a glass of wine after dog park.

I can't believe it, maybe I've still got it!

marty, just remember this little tip:

Quote:
All foods or drinks which taint the breath or cause disagreeable eructations should be avoided by persons going into company. Onions emit so very disagreeable an odor that no truly polite person will eat them when liable to inflict their fumes upon others.

Good for you, Marty. I hope he turns out to be worthy of the sweet and wondrous beauty, both inner and outer, that is you.

Marty--

Wonderful.

Come howl with us tomorrow. At this point in the winter everyone could use some triumph--or some vicarious triumph.

Marty, how wonderful for you. I hope you have a lovely evening. Sounds like fun to be back out there in the mix. Good for you for deciding to put your book down and get out of your house. Keep us posted.

I'm a nervous wreck. I leave the house in 20 minutes to go meet this guy. Of all times my cat wants to rub up against me and I don't want cat hair on my carefully selected outfit. And I don't usually wear perfume.....what the hell possesed me to put on perfume?

Oh gosh, help me!

Let's just say that Squinney's warning was well warranted

Marty--

The path to sophisticated womanhood is fraught with frogs as well as members of the Charming family.

One frog down and an infinite number of Prince Charmings to go.
