Hi Advah,
Oh, gotta love a boy who can give good email! Where are y’all meeting, and do you have a backup plan (ie, have a friend call you at a designated time just in case you need to get out of it)? I hate to kill the romance, In this day an age, you gotta be careful…
Good call, I hadn’t thought of it!! Hopefully it’ll all go well though – I’ve met him a few times before (we both write for the same paper), although it took him 3 months and a lot of wine to finally, awkwardly start talking to me. Shame he’s so shy, he’s got the cutest accent so I want to hear him speak! I’m joining him and his friends for drinks so hopefully it’ll take the pressure off. 🙂
Now, time to plan the outfit and makeup!
Sounds like fun. What are you thinking about wearing?
I’m going to sound like a paranoid older sister, but please, PLEASE also keep your eyes locked on your drink. I’ve read one too many stories about girls getting drugged on dates! I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but you can never be too careful.
Oooh I’m totally with you there, I’m paranoid about that stuff and NEVER leave my drink alone and always cover it with my hand when I’m in a crowd. You just never know (and I don’t care if my friends think I’m crazy, hah).
And it’s stupid but I’m hoping that schizophrenic weather will be cold enough I can wear jeans. I’ll be so much more comfortable in my usual jeans and a tank top, esp if we just end up at the pub. And I can let my new shmexy haircut do the talking! 😀
1. Mood: Twitchy – really busy but will get overwhelmed if I think too much about it!
2. Highlight of last weekend? Whitewater rafting – specifically the 10-foot drop through a Class IV right under the Royal Gorge bridge!
3. Three staple makeup items in your makeup bag? Benefit Bad Gal mascara, NARS Blush in Sin, Givenchy Mister Light in pink (does killer work on my dark circles over my cool-toned complexion)
4. If you could raid one person’s closet, whose would it be? Michelle Williams
5. Your life described in a song? Wow! Toughie because so many fit throughout different days and moods….so, how about some positive thinking with “Shiny Happy People” by REM?!
6. How would you describe your ideal Friday night? Dinner party in with friends followed by good wine and fun games
7. Breakfast? Piece of fruit, glass of millk, and maybe toast/oatmeal/cereal
8. Worst movie you’ve seen so far this year? Cold Souls. High concept Paul Giamatti movie. BAD.
9. Outfit: Black pants, light yellow long tank (Vera from Kohl’s – cute & budget friendly!), J Crew v. light heather gray tissue ruffle cardigan, black patent heels, silver hoops
10. Your weekly goals: Spin every day this week, clean the house before vacay this weekend
Hey Kelly Jo,
Funny you should mention whitewater rafting — I’ve never done it before, and it’s on my list of things to do this summer. Do you know anything at all about the rivers around northern California? I have no idea where to start…
Sorry, Karen, I don’t! But if you are ever in Colorado for rafting I have lots of suggestions of good tours on great rivers! It is a total blast and SO much fun. I highly recommend getting enough people to fill your own boat/raft – makes for a crazy fun experience! I hope you get the chance to do it – have fun!
