and the pants split

gosh, i wish i could have documented the events of yesterday with a camera. i've been talking to this guy that i met on e-harmony for about a month through e-mail and just recently phone calls. he invited me to go to the marine birthday ball in 2 weeks but before that we needed to meet. so yesterday afternoon while i was at work, we decided we were going to meet.

right after work.

no time to go home and change. no time to get makeup on. luckily, i was feeling kinda cute with the outfit i had chosen in the morning. usually i wear my bum dress clothes for fridays but for some reason just wanted to be cute :) but still no makeup and no touch ups on the eyebrows.. sheesh!

the plan is to meet at 5:15 at a restaurant in short pump. around 4, i stepped in the restroom. thats when i noticed it. a huge hole in the crotch of my pants. it was noticable when standing but any position sitting down and you could see right through. oh my gosh. i attempted to remain calm.. hah! i found a couple coworkers and asked them if they had a needle and thread. then it just turned funny. we started laughing and it went downhill for them real fast.

i found a needle and thread. and called my friend, kristin, to stop by my house, get a pair of pants and then meet me at my work. she went to my house but my dog tried to attack her. i didn't want her to get hurt so i told her not to go in. she then said she would go to kohls and buy me a pair of pants.

in the process of her getting the pants, i was able to sew the hole up. for the last hour of work, i got no work done. the pants showed up. they looked great. kristin sure knows how to come through!!

i show up at the mall, butterflies flying rapid in my stomach. i wait outside on the bench and he shows up with a dozen roses. we walk in and get a table. the first 20 minutes were the longest 20 minutes of my life. everything was awkward.

even though its probably not going to work out, i enjoyed the night and learned a lot about myself in the process.
