Did I shave my legs for this?!!

I bought these new heels, did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress was a sure bet
For romance tonight
Well it’s perfectly clear, between the TV and beer
I won’t get so much as a kiss
As I head for the door I turn around to be sure
Did I shave my legs for this?
-The eternal words of Deana Carter

Deana Carter, thank you. You truly understand the inner workings of my soul. Did I shave my legs for this? That pretty much sums up the last few years of my dating life. Well, that and, if I fake a food-borne illness can I make it home in time for Greys Anatomy?

Ok So let me paint you a picture (and I hope some of you women can relate). . I have shaved my legs I am curling my hair with one hand and putting on mascara with the other while contemplating why in the hell I decided to go with the cute lace panties that are clearly not comfortable over the boy cut ones that would just ease my night. When I get a phone call from “New guy” saying that he is gonna be early…Well that’s just freakin PERFECT!

I scramble around to finish getting ready unsure what we are doing for the evening I decide to dress cute and wear my lucky heels ! He shows up with flowers in hand. (He always has gone out of his way to make me feel special.) We head out the door for our date! Dinner is perfect and we end up at a game that was a blast.. This date was definitely going places . . .

After a fun and perfect evening we got back to my house and are rounding the side of the house in the dark and I trip.(Damn cute heels!) I'm clumsy. I recover myself (I thought) only to find myself plunging back down the stairs that leads into my house... It's so dark that he stands there asking "where did you go?"

Sprained ankle... not just a little sprained..Really sprained..horrible pain! He carried me in and fed me Tylenol. Arranged the pillows so my ankle was propped up and put a bag of frozen veggies on it to ice it. In the morning he brought me the sweetest thing I have ever been given after a catastrophic first date: crutches. All I have to say here is: YAY FOR MEN WHO STILL KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE LIKE GENTLEMEN.

We had to schedule a re-do. No more Redneck Dates: I's already crippled on the first date so's I couldn’t run away no more!! HA HA
