If a man you're going to meet for the first time tells you over the course of several phone calls how unattractive he is...BELIEVE HIM.
If, for the first date, he takes you to a restaurant that offers a tasting menu with 16 courses over a four hour period, tell the waiter:
Jessica: I'll just have the fish.
What did you do last night?
Gah.
I got home late cause work is far away, fought with my bf cause I'm hating Belgium right now, entertained the possibility of quitting school here, ate some chips, wished I could magically drop 50 pounds overnight, and fell asleep.
Oh and found out this morning that when my prof told me I could take the final in English he meant I could answer in English, but he isn't planning on translating the questions. And since it took me 6 hours to take a 3 hour lab excercise cause I had to translate so much of it with a dictionary, I have decided that school here can suck my left nut. I'll just go be a cleaning lady.
The things ya do for love.

Belle:(after 20 minutes of silence)

After I let the baby suck on my boobs, I had to let the husband feel them. Sooooooooooooo irritating.
Good morning.

I hung out in the ER last night so it was sucky here too.
How unattractive is unattractive? Are we talking horrible no possible way in hell ugly?

I worked in the ER.
Found out my damn team lost. Bunch of slackers.
And then I came home at midnight my roommate having an impromptu party for the 3rd night this week. It was after 1:00am and I was livid, but quietly livid because I'm too nice and I didn't want to be the lame roommate. I just wanted to go to bed without hearing the lullaby of slasher films!
I am officially old.

He wasn't lose your dinner unattractive was he? Because that would have made dinner even more hellish.

How unattractive was he? Was he really that bad? Could he get a role in a horror film?

Last night? Nothing much. Laughed at American Idol auditions. Snorefest...

At least your evening gave you something to blog about - I spent my evening shuttling my son and several of his cohorts to soccer. Big night!
Posted by: blognut | January 22, 2009 at 05:26 AM
hmm...nothing as fun as THAT! But to make up for it, I shall have a fantastically eventful evening.

I forgot to set out the meat for hwta I intended for dinner last night, so we went out to eat where the waitress brought us a to-go box at the end of themeal but not the check, and in the 400 minutes we waited for her, my son got bored and hopped around the tables and then banged his head on the corner of it just for fun! (All this after I post about how careful he is...dang that Murphy.)

Unattractive?

Shouldn't you have a secret bail code? You know, call your friend from the restroom then she calls you ten minutes later and suddenly you have to leave for the "emergency."

I pinned my freakishly strong 2-year-old son down and pried his eyes open so that I could put pinkeye drops in them. All with him screaming, "No mama! No eyes! Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Posted by: HOKGARDNER | January 22, 2009 at 05:58 AM
Oh, dear.
I had some birthday cake. And wine.
Posted by: Mental P Mama | January 22, 2009 at 06:32 AM
Last night I gorged myself on Girl Scout cookies and watched TV. No, wait, that was the night before last. And the night before that. And the...Jesus--I need to get out of the house before I turn into Mama Cass.
Posted by: wendi | January 22, 2009 at 06:32 AM
Oh no! That sounds terrible. Last night I watched 3 hours of Lost. Yep.
Posted by: Jozette | January 22, 2009 at 06:55 AM
A FOUR HOUR dinner?!
That's ambitious and optimistic for a FIRST date.
And maybe a little creepy.
Unless it came with 4 hours of wine, too. Or you REALLY liked the food. Or him.
No?
Then it sucks, sorry.

I started knitting a sock and then messed it up so I had to rip out all the stitches and start over because I'm such a domestic goddess.
Posted by: Cathy | January 22, 2009 at 07:16 AM
Nothing like an awesome dinner date, huh?
Let's see, I hung out at home and played on the computer. Exciting life I lead.
Posted by: HeatherPride | January 22, 2009 at 07:35 AM
Oh, this sounds like sheer hell. You poor thing!
Last night? I studied an auditing text, ate some chili, and entertained a 3-year old and a baby who just kept screaming. (Teething is apparently a bummer.)
Thanks for visiting me!

Wow. I remember dating. Vaguely. My favorite part of dating was getting ready, the listening to music, putting on make-up, curling the hair, full of hope time. But then the ugly picks you up...
Posted by: Beth | January 22, 2009 at 07:56 AM
Wow, that sounds terrible. On second thought, I'd take an ugly dude with way too much food over the toddler insomnia we're stuck in here. Wanna trade?
Posted by: Casey | January 22, 2009 at 08:02 AM
I ripped out a ceiling without telling my hubby (he was at work.
Hallie :)
Posted by: Hallie | January 22, 2009 at 08:13 AM
Ouch. Sorry.
Posted by: Shana | January 22, 2009 at 08:38 AM
Wow, it sounds like his worst problem is not that he's unattractive. That does not sound like a fun night. Sorry.
