IRL First Date
So, we took the plunge and decided to meet up.
It’s our first date.
I haven’t been on a first date in over a decade (and I’m really not that old).
And, now…the day is here. The bloggers will meet.
Mrs. Newlywed and I are going for Mexican food and margaritas. We’ve been talking about it since before #2 was born and promised we would meet up.
I’m so nervous.
I blow dried my hair, I put on make-up, I even shaved my legs…what am I forgetting?
Oh, what to wear? Maternity clothes are too big. Regular clothes make me look like a sausage. Now, I have to go shopping. You see Mrs. Newlywed is all about preppy. She puts up pictures of all pretty clothes, outfits, and shoes she has. I could put up pictures of my clothes covered in spit up and peanut butter finger prints.
What do we do the first time we see each other? Do we hug? Do we shake hands? Do we do the head-nod thing (gee, I hope not)?
What if I laugh so hard I spit out some food? Will she still think as much of me?
What if I have a huge piece of cilantro stuck on my front tooth? Will she tell me?
What to talk about? I’ve been home with a baby for 4 weeks? Will she get sick of hearing about my kids? And if I don’t talk about my kids, will I talk about my other kids (my students)?
Are you nervous now, Mrs. Newlywed? Are you going to back out?
Really, I think we will hit it off swimmingly and have a great time. I’m really excited about my first IRL meet up! I’ll be sure to report back how it goes!
I hope y’all have fun! I can’t wait to hear about it 🙂
Oooh, have fun! You’re brave, too! There’s no one in my neck of the woods who reads my blog that I don’t know already. A new friend, how exciting!
oh you girls are going to have such a great time!!
can’t wait for the pictures and all the fun stories 🙂
You two are going to have a blast!
I cannot wait to hear all about it!!
I am sure you both will have a great time…good luck with your first IRL date!
I can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Hoe exciting!! Margaritas, blog friends, and mexican food…what a date!!
Cant wait to hear all about it!!
Just so you know…
I only put out after the second date.
🙂
have fun and drink one for me as i sit here with unshaved legs, pjs, unwashed hair, no makeup, spit-up stained clothes, a newborn and a two year old crazy person.
i’m not breastfeeding anymore so when i can peel myself out of these terrible pj’s i many go out for MANY drinks… but i will NOT shave my legs. i’m on strike.
Too fun! You guys have a great time!
I love bloggy meet ups. Just be yourself and when in doubt, consume more booze.
How exciting! I think you’ll be hugging when you meet. It just happens that way. You feel like you KNOW the person! : )
Cute. A night out. You deserve it!!!
Have a blast in real life. That was the title of my post today, “In real life.”
Have a great time!!!
I met OHMommy in real life recently, and it was so much fun!
I always get nervous when I hang out with someone I haven’t met/don’t know to well. The secret, ask a million questions about her until she has nothing else to say then she will most likely ask a million questions about you! Its a vicious but fun cycle. The more random the question the better. Like, do you like PB and J?
Have fun! Mrs. Newlywed is a firecracker!
Oh! Im excited for you!! You guys are going to have such a good time!! And I am jealous that you are eating Mexican. I want Mexican!!
I am over from Mrs. Newlywed’s blog!! 🙂 I hope yall have a blast!! I will be visiting your blog more often. After all, I am a fellow Georgian!! 🙂
How fun! I can’t wait to hear how it went! 🙂
Oh, how exciting! Good luck! I bet you’ll have a blast. Can’t wait to hear about it!
