bras, bagels, & bachelorettes

I have a date with DH this Saturday night. A few months back he asked and at the time I said I wasn't ready to date anyone, much less someone who had already seen me naked, but I promised I would, before we signed the divorce papers. With the divorce fast approaching and since I am now ready to date, when he asked yesterday if I would, I said yes. I am a little apprehensive, but I want to go. I owe it to myself, to him, and to the Pea, to make absolutely certain there is no hope for reconciliation before we sign anything. I also want to go ahead and do this before I get involved with anyone else because there is no way I will give him a fair shake if I am in the happy glow of a new relationship.

My goal for the night is to try and see him for who he is now, and present myself as I am now, and see if there is a spark...I don't know what he has in mind, but I have no intention of talking about our marriage or the last 14 years...I want to see if we are compatible now, and go from there. I know if we try and talk about the past we will just end up fighting and that will suck. Fingers crossed...and now, some shit that doesn't suck.

Every morning I go to NY Times online to skim the news...another sight with a similar layout, but far more fun is http://www.theonion.com/content/index. It has the same look, but a far different feel. If you need a laugh, or are just tired of the "real" news, check it out, you won't be disappointed.

I like fancy panties...I like bras that match...unfortunately for me I am kinda a weird bra size, so until now I had a really hard time finding matching sets without buying a bra that didn't fit. I like Victoria Secret panties, but they don't carry my bra size. WELLLLL...one night I was bitching about this problem to the guys (yeah, I dunno why either...just like they sometimes forget I am a girl, I sometimes forget they are guys...anyway) and Partyman suggested Fredericks of Hollywood. I thought he was joking, but he then went on to say his wife was similar in size to me and they had pretty good stuff and I should check it out. I did, they are my new favorite store http://www.fredericks.com/. OMG...I had NO IDEA, I thought they just sold trashy lingerie and "dance wear" NOOOO, they have really nice bras and panties to match and they CARRY MY SIZE...I am wearing a lovely little red set right now and the girls look fabulous.

It is no secret that I am hooked on Dunkin Donuts coffee. For those of you who know me well, you also know I went through serious pumpkin donut addiction. My NEW favorite: the multi-grain bagel...it is one of those foods that disguises itself as healthy but has about a million calories (and if you get it toasted with butter like I do, a zillion, easy). I can't stop, I love them...I am outta control. I keep this shit up and I won't be able to fit into all my new fancy panties, but I thought I would share anyway cuz they are soooooo damn good. https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/nutrition/Product.aspx?Category=Bagels&id=DD-784

Ok, last but certainly not least...anyone else hooked on The Bachelorette like I am? Jillian is my new girl crush, she is awesome, couple her with a bunch of hotties...ooohh la la. Even better than the show itself is the liveblogging http://www.thefrisky.com/focuson/the-bachelorette/...I swear to granola, I will think something, and Amelia will write it. Guys this is not for you, you will hate it.

Well, a date with a husband is not exactly something most people would consider a necessary part of "spring break" (maybe a date with someone else's husband...jk) but I think for me it is...let's hope I can just live in the moment and enjoy it...and it doesn't suck.

Who is up for tequila shots if it's a disaster?
