OT - I gotta Sunday afternoon date

It's almost 11 o'clock Saturday night and I'm taking a little break from cleaning like a raging mad woman. I had posted a week or so ago about possibly starting to date again - well - looks like life rebegins at the 50 lbs loss mark. (I cheated and weighed tonight and if the scale gods are good to me in the morning, I'll make 50 lbs since final preop mark WOWZER)

There is a guy that my Aunt wanted to fix me up with - well I met him and he is super nice. So she introduced us at church and we've chatted on the phone almost every night since we met. I feel like I'm 15 years old again. If nothing else I've already made an incredible new friend. Anyway - I'm a little off subject. - When I talked to him this evening, I invited him over for dinner tomorrow. Should be interesting - my sons, his step-son and his nephew will be there too. Can you say testosterone?? So all these men in my life are going to be fed grilled steaks, garden salad, roasted garlic red-potatoes, carmel apple salad & guiltless pineapple cake. Plus I've got crab dip and steamed shrimp for appetizers. (A few nibbles on the protein rich appetizers and I'll be full)

I can't wait - I'm really excited about this. Now I'm signing off so I can clean house all night . Yall think about me around 3ish Sunday afternoon. I could use some positive energy coming my way - it's been a long time that I've been outta this game. I've heard it's like riding a bike but I've never gone years without riding my bike. hmmmmm........

Hi Iris,

Sound like you've got it under control. Remember that the guys aren't going to be doing a white glove test. Enjoy the company of your new friend. I'm sure that he and the rest of the guys are just going to love the spread you are putting together.

Enjoy the company.
