I woke up this morning feeling quite relaxed and revitalized! Leave it to comfort food and a really entertaining chick flick!

Today is Friday and I was supposed to be going to New Orleans for ‘Jazz Fest’. Unfortunately my friend Melanie who I was going with had her wisdom teeth pulled leaving me to wonder if I’ll ever get to see to Jimmy Buffet in concert… My day will come!

While I was basking in my own self pity last nigh, Wondering if I’d ever make it ‘Jazz Fest’, there came a knock on my door. As I opened my door a bunch of my friend’s came in to watch the movie I was currently watching. It was like the heavens knew that I needed some good female bonding time. Things were going well when there came another knock on my door. This time it was my friend Joey. Fearing he had invaded ‘Girl’s night’, he shot me the look of a dear in the headlights, so I went with him outside so as to spare him any excess estrogen.

Joey came over to tell me that one of his best friends was in town and would I mind going on a date with him? My stomach started to churn immediately as I had blind date after blind date flash through my head. It wasn’t a good experience, especially since I can count on one hand how many blind dates I’ve been on that DIDN’T go catastrophically wrong. I’ve got some good train wreck stories when it comes to this subject. Stories that span from going to a movie (my place of employment at the time), which I got us in so he didn’t have to pay, and then dropping me off a couple blocks from home when it was snowing because ‘He didn’t feel like driving all the way up there’. There was a guy who took me out once and then started stalking me for the next week but not before telling me how cute our kids would be, so we should probably get married because hey ‘I wasn’t getting any younger’. What a charmer! After 10 years of dating… I have great date disaster stories!

Any way, as my friend Joey kept pleading with me to go out with his friend, I was wondering why he was pleading with me. He has several other friends that are girls, but I can’t help but wonder if most of it was due to the fact that the date is for Saturday and I may have been one of the only girls he knew, that was home at the time. Darn my ‘Me’ time. I reluctantly accepted. What’s another story eh? If anything I’ll get to see a free play and have more fodder for my blog!
