On Saturday afternoon, I met up with fellow blogger Misty.
And I was nervous. Date nervous. In fact, if you count the Renaissance Festival, Saturday was our second date.
Thoughts started racing through my head:
- Does this sweater make me look fat?
- What if I trip and fall on my face?
- It’s snowing. What if snow falls on my head and ruins my hair? Maybe I should wear a hat.
- Are birds still flying south for the winter? What if a bird poos on me? I should definitely wear a hat.
- What if she doesn’t like smores? (This should have been my first worry. Obviously, my game was off.)
- What happens on the second date? Is that second base?
Misty and I met at a really cool store called Retro Metro. As we entered the store, I was even more nervous. I promised Misty the store had some funny stuff for excellent blog material and gifts.
What if she didn’t think the store was funny? My credibility would be shot. I could see rumors running rampant through the blog world: Thoughtsy doesn’t know funny. She’s as funny as a fart in a spacesuit.
NOOOOOOOOO!
But then…Misty laughed. And she laughed smore some more. And she showed me this:
We found some really cool stuff at the store…like this stuff.
Next we had lunch. And by lunch, I mean dessert. And by dessert, I mean Peanut Butter Smores. Mmmmm…. Misty even let me have the last bite because she’s cool like that.
After smores, we went back to Retro Metro because the store was just that cool.
Anyways, I think I sufficiently impressed Misty because she gave me Pop-Tarts. This means there will probably be a third date…I wonder if she’ll expect me to put out?

Definitely. Third date means going all the way. Better wear your cute matching bra/underwear!!
February 16th, 2012 at 11:31 am
I second this. What else would a third date mean?
February 16th, 2012 at 8:46 am
That Retro-Metro place sounds cool! Fun times

Hey, Misty has a picture of you eating crabcakes.
That’s not dessert. You didn’t say anything about real food.
What else about your date are you hiding?
February 17th, 2012 at 11:13 am
I did eat a crab cake. The smore was sooooo good, it blocked it from my memory.
Also…Misty may have drugged me. When we went back into Retro Metro, stuff had been moved around. I think she roofied me.

I love smores.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:13 am
Mmmmmm-hmmmm….

“I wonder if she’ll expect me to put out?”
If I was drinking coffee, I would have ruined my keyboard.
I wasn’t expecting that.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:14 am
I like to keep you on your toes.
February 16th, 2012 at 9:30 am
Sounds like you guys had a blast! That Dirty Sign Language book sounds fun, could be useful in all sorts of situations!
February 16th, 2012 at 9:43 am
Sounds like a really fun time! I’ve got to get a copy of that book.
February 16th, 2012 at 9:55 am
Your milkshake brings all the bloggers to the yard. Date VICTORY! Glad you ladies had fun!

::shake, shake, shake::
February 16th, 2012 at 10:12 am
oh fun blogger meet up. Match made in heaven
February 16th, 2012 at 10:53 am
Awe, how cute is that!! I hope this leads to smore I mean more dates.
I felt so corny saying that but I just couldn’t hit the back button ha ha.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Don’t feel corny. I love it!
February 16th, 2012 at 10:54 am
farts in spacesuits are hilarious. As long as you’re not the one stuck in it, right?
February 16th, 2012 at 10:58 am
The name Misti is so pretty. If it was me though, I think “Foggy” would be a better fit!
February 16th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
The one time I met a fellow blogger (BluntDelivery) I was mucho nervous! But then she let me touch her hair and it was all good.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:15 am
I’m totally jealous that you met Blunty. How is she doing? She’s been MIA for a bit.
February 16th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
This store sounds amazing. I wish there was something similar near me.
And meeting other bloggers is always a bit nerve wracking.
February 16th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Whatever you do Thoughtsy – don’t. put. out! DON’T you do it! She will never respect you after that. Your blogging relationship will be reduced to a few short, terse comments, and before you know it, you’ve been de-followed
Besides…(eyes squinting in judgement) aren’t you already blog-married to AMY??? Hmmm? I am so telling on you.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:17 am
You’re so right. I don’t want to lose her respect.
Since Amy is already real-life married, I’m allowed to blog date.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:27 am
Oh. I see. One of ‘those’ marriages. In name only? is it? Well, seems you’ve got a good handle on this.
Proceed.
February 16th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
That is awesome. I’m totally following Misty now.
BTW, guillotines are just so amazing. What a way to go.
February 16th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
If you were as funny as a fart in a spacesuit you’d still be pretty damn funny.
February 16th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
You are too funny. Looking forward to our third trip for yogurt.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:11 am
Peanut butter s’mores sounds delish! I’m so glad you’re going to have a third date. Sounds like you had so much fun.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:29 am
So cute! Just added to me “Things to to Google Today” list – Retro Metro. I hope we have one! Also, fortunately this doesn’t apply to Misty but if someone doesn’t like s’mores, you should rethink your friend choices.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:18 am
I think the stores are only in Maryland. Maybe you should make a special trip.
