I went on a first date today. I was excited. And nervous. Would I like my date? Would my date like me? All those first date jitters were alive and kicking.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to get dolled up for our date. I was in the middle of doing laundry. And cleaning hamster cages when I got the call. "I have an hour and a half break. Let's just hop in our cars and drive til we meet!"
And so we did. I had no choice but to bring the Little Ballerina along too. She was quite confused as to what we were up to. "Do I know this person?" No. "Does this person know me?" Kind of. "Where are we going?" I'm not really sure.
We finally pulled off at our destination. The King of Tires. In the middle of Yuckville, VA. Oh yeah. High class date.
As soon as my date pulled into the parking lot, though, LB was quite impressed. "WOW! She's pretty!" Yes. She is. And here I sit in my frumpies with my dirty hair. Ready to meet my pretty date for the first time. Lovely.
I gave her a great big hug as soon as she stepped out of her car. I'm sure she was thrilled to hug me back as she took in my lack of proper date grooming. But she immediately ran to get her camera. And begged LB to take our picture. I was in love. Total kindred spirit.
Now many of you will recognize the pretty lady on the right. That's Jen from Jen's Ink Pen. She's just as pretty and sweet in person as she is on her blog. She even sounds as I expected with her cute southern accent.
Sadly, she only had about 30 minutes for our date. Her daughter was playing in a volleyball tournament a half an hour away. So I couldn't take her to the beach. Or any other exciting destination. Instead we wound up at Wendy's. We grabbed a quick bite. Before she had to scoot back to the tournament.
I wish we could have had more time together. I wish we were neighbors. But instead, our dates will have to remain here in Blogland.
Jen, if you do wind up back here for another tournament in the future, I promise I'll take you somewhere more exciting.
Maybe here?
And then we could take our kids here?
And I promise next time I'll shower first.

Isn't it so cool when you get to meet a fellow blogger in person? It's like you've finally found a long-lost friend. I just wish all my bloggie friends could live in the same town and have girls night outs every week. Wouldn't that be cool? Loved this. So cute!
