Sorry about that!

Jim's rule is now taken to heart--no sad awful scary VAGUE blog posts. I resolve to get specific when talking about the awful.

I left the full story in the comments of the last post. For those who are interested. It isn't even that good of a story. It will be a total let down, and chances are you will mock me for it.

Tonight I meet Sam's parents. They are in town. I have only known Sam for a little under two months, so I admit to being a lot freaked out by this. Not by meeting them. I am sure they are lovely because Sam is pretty wonderful, so how awful could they be and end up with Sam? I am more freaked out at the idea of already meeting them. ALREADY. This seems soon. I guess. It makes us seem very serious. I mean, I guess we are serious--but very serious is something I am perfectly content to pretend isn't happening until long after it is already true and this whole meeting the parents thing might gum that up. Yeah, plus I want them to like and approve of me. They seem to think their sons are amazing, so I want to be someone they deem worthy. I washed my hair for them. And I am wearing way nicer clothes to be a Pier 1 Assistant Manager than I normally would. So that should fix everything, right? I still look like me though. I don't want them to meet a not me. Then what will they think if they meet me a second time. Perhaps it is too early in the morning to be writing about this?

the reminds me of the episode of sex and the city where Carrie is freaked out about meeting Aiden's parents. Don't go and have an affair with Mr. Big, Heather!

Note to self: Do not return Mr. Big's call and if I do, certainly don't tell Robyn about it.

I realize I am being a little ridiculous about this and it will all seem stupid once I have met the 'rents.

It is just that Sam really likes his parents and they seem to think the world of him and his brothers, and I would like them to like me. And it would be awful if I was someone they really disliked or disapproved of. It would just be awful.

Well, let's just hope they don't know about the blogosphere, because I don't know any parents who would approve of their son dating a woman who would leave her dirty undies out on the stoop where anyone could steal them.

You should get a couple of your girlfriends to dress really nicely and go to the restaurant where you will be dining with Sam and his parents. They could show up at or around the same time as you and they could pretend to be you and you could have this hilarious exchange. And it could turn out that both you and Sam hired high-priced escorts to pretend to be you because neither of you thought you were going to be able to make it and it would be hilarious.

Sorry. I just got home from work so I'm a little fried.

How anyone could not like you is beyond me, *Not* VERY serious boyfriend's parents included.

You're just to wonderful to be not likeable.
