One of my sister's friends contacted me out of the blue. She'd heard I'm single and wondered if I wanted to meet for a drink. It was a flattering start to a friday :rolleyes:

Yay, congrats!
My younger brother is getting married next summer, and his fiancée asked me to be a bridesmaid even though she doesn't know me all that well; I think I've seen her maybe 5 or 6 times since she and my brother started dating, if that.
At first I thought it would be a bit weird to be a bridesmaid at my age but actually, I'm flattered. So what if I am going to be the oldest person in the wedding party, and will probably have to put up with dozens of "when will it be YOUR TURN?" questions? :rolleyes:

She just wants to go out with you to get you to introduce her to your other friend.

It was our Harry Potter themed weekend at the bird of prey centre this weekend – it went off really well, the staff had lots of fun being in character (I was Hermione!) and it seemed to go over really well with customers, particularly the kids had a ball.

…… .............surprised/happy mixture really. What are the odds on going into a Harry Potter themed event at a falconry centre and coming out with a date?

Whatever they are, this appears to be what I've managed to do! :rolleyes:

My daughter got to experience her first Halloween where she could participate (last year we dressed her up, but she was only 4 months old), and we took her to a few houses (we won't let her have the candy), we just wanted her to have an experience in prep for future years. She seemed to love walking around and seeing all the decorations and costumes!

Such a beautiful morning to wake upto. Clear blue sky, bright sunshine, cool temperature, and a light breeze. Mornings like these make life worth it.

Hahahaha!

No, on the same site as the falconry centre is one of those outdoor pursuit places - archery, rifle range, climbing wall etc. It's a father and son who own and run it and the son is about my age - he asked me out for a drink. They kindly put kids archery on for us whenever we have a big event and apparently he's been trying to get five minutes to ask me since the summer when they were around for our classic car show. Haha!

Yah, but you married someone you've been with for years and are already in love with. Where's the adventure in that?

"Three years ago I asked the girl of my dreams out on a date. Yesterday, I asked her to marry me.

She said no both times."

Ah, see, the adventure is in that she's also butterfuck nutty. Every day is fun.

Pretty sure I am drunk. My lips and body are numb for some reason, and a friend is coming to join me. Very happy.

I've already knocked two people off of my Christmas shopping list! (Yes, I'm one of those annoying types who finishes all of their shopping way before Christmas.)
I wasn't planning to start quite so early but I saw some things that I knew the recipients would love, and I couldn't pass that up. Seeing as I don't actually have all that many people to shop for anyway, I might actually be done before November ends.
