OK - I get the picture.. you all want details.... I am in another state hanging with my college girl friends and I am sitting here typing a reply to you all... see what kind of pull you have on me... scary is the only word I can come up with...
So - the short story is this (or at least I'll try to keep it short...)
realizing that the notion of Mr. Right just knocking on my door one day was pretty much never going to happen, I was taking my new found confidence from my 35 pound and going weight loss and try my hand at online dating. Don't mock - or at least not too loudly... I am still getting used to the idea as well. Besides - that is how we all met (or at least most of us) and look how well we are doing... After starting and ending some online conversations with some guys, I met one that caught my attention. He lives locally (a plus), makes me laugh ( a bigger plus) and didn't run screaming when I sent him a picture of me (another plus... ok - who am I kidding this is freaking huge...). We have been chatting online and on the phone for the past three weeks and are finally meeting in person on Sunday night.
Right now the plan is to meet at a local Starbucks and see where things go from there. I know - it is a cliched kind of date, but remember I don't know this guy very well so public place = good thing... So - my dilemma is what to wear and keep in mind, I won't be back in NY until about 3:00 on Sunday and I am meeting him at 5:00 so I don't have that much time to primp... I am thinking of jeans with a cute pair of shoes (not sure if they should be heels or flats since I don't know what we will ultimately be doing... I am thinking flats since they are a little more versatile), I have a great pair of Calvin Klein dark denim trousers (definitely not my everyday work jean) and a white blouse I picked up from Coldwater Creek with pleated trim (you can see a picture of it on their outlet webpage - it is labeled 'pleated trim detail top') since it hugs my curves and doesn't make me look pregnant (not a good look or is it???
). I have a pair of red patent leather loafers that would add a shop of color and some cool accessories. What do you think? Remember, I don't have a lot of frilly things in my closet. I just can't take myself seriously in them and they don't work for my job. My other options are pretty much combinations of t-shirts and jackets (like the khaki one in the photo I posted).

Can't wait to hear how it goes on Sunday!
Yes, that's right. Thursday afternoon, after I've managed to eat and drink my way rather blissfully thru the week, there she is. Miss Picture of Fitness sneaking up behind me. 
ah well - I just look at it as job security for her!! 
...and am I to understand that Grumpy isn't our only guy now? 
Bad mother nature....bad, bad, bad!
