Today Cal had a play date set up w/ his friend Louie, from school. I was so excited. I think this may be the first "typical" play date he's had. Anyway, Louie's mom, Amanda and I started talking a few weeks ago when we'd be waiting for the boys. I instantly liked her. It's one of those rare things, when you meet someone, and you think "friend material." That doesn't happen a lot at our age. In fact, the show, "Whitney" had an episode about that a couple of weeks ago. They talked about reaching your "friend capacity" by your 30's. Hilarious. Anyway, as you know, I don't know anyone out here. You'd think that'd make me less picky, but it really hasn't. So....today's the big "play date" at our house (early release from school). I cleaned the heck out of the house, even lit a nice candle. I even did my hair, a little make up, and put on some "good" clothes (meaning not yoga pants or sweats). As the time got closer to p/u the boys, I started getting excited to have company. Then it hit me....it feels like I'm getting ready for a date! The whole, "I hope she likes me" was going through my head and everything. lol I crack myself up. So, once we all walk into the house, Cal immediately says, "It smells different in here. It smells a lot cleaner." I nearly died...and told him it was that I had a candle lit. Oh dear God, please don't let her think that my house usually stinks! After that, the kids all ran to play in Cal's room, and Amanda and I totally hit it off. It was a totally effortless visit. It was almost like visiting w/ an old friend. So, I think it's safe to say, there will be a second date. :) She even invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. I know we won't go, but it was an awfully nice gesture. So, yay me! I think I finally have a friend out here! Oh yeah, and so does Cal! They get along so well! Good day. Good, good day. Oh, except for the diet....fucking cheese curds. Damn midwesterners have me hooked!
