Kevin Meets My Parents 2006

Kevin and I took the subway into Manhattan to meet my parents for lunch. Kevin met my parents! I knew they'd love him, and they do.

Good First Date Yesterday! 2006

My coffee date yesterday night was great. Kevin is cute, super smart, and funny. It was a good time. He's 26 and he teaches at Bridgewater College.

I dressed up to go to the Downtown Mall. I was wearing a black fitted shirt and white jean skirt and white sandals with little heels. Sarah and Donald dropped me off Downtown. Kevin was sitting outside reading the New York Times. Apparently, he does this every Sunday. The first thing I noticed about him was his bushy hair and that he was cute. In that order.

Kevin got me a cappuccino while he sipped a green tea. He tried to impress me with his two-book contract and personal Dave Barry connection (I love Dave Barry). I probably shouldn't have told him that I don't believe in happiness. That wasn't a good move on my part.

Mudhouse in 2006- even from the angle at which I approached.

Maybe he thought some ice cream would make me reconsider happiness? After Mudhouse, he suggested we walk over to Chaps for dessert. I was charmed. He drove me home to Ivy Gardens and asked if I'd be interested in another date. I said, "definitely."

Got My Driver's License! 2006

Finally got my license for the first time on today at 27 years of age! About 10 years after I should have gotten it. Thanks to all the people that gave me driving lessons- 1 or 2 at a time. And thanks especially to Alec that lent me his car today so I could take the test. You're brave and awesome!

With my license!

Karaoke for the First Time 2006

I have been avoiding this moment for a long time because I am tone deaf (I prefer tone mute). A bunch of thought it would be fun to go to Tokyo Rose last night, and I thought I'd get away with listening in the back. But I was invited to sing a song with a group of people though and I figured that I probably wouldn't ruin the song that way. Also it was LIKE A PRAYER. Can't say no to that.

My new girl band: Dawn, me, Kristina, Kelly,  and Beth

They singing It's Raining Men. Truth.
