What a great way to start off the New Year---and my first post of 2008! Mindy called this morning all excited about the new boy she met last night. She was set up by friends---not exactly a blind date, but sort of. How romantic! Our friends, Connie and Jack met on a blind date on New Years Eve in college and here they are 37+ years later. And they still even like each other!
Back to Mindy. You know, in her excitement, she didn't even tell me his name. Anyway, "the boy" likes to dance. That's always a winner in my book. He has a great sense of humor and gets hers. He told her that they were really good dancers together and that everyone was watching them---wanted to BE them. Sounds like he's observant too. Highly unusual in the male species.
They partied most of the night. Well, she was home (alone, I hope, but definitely didn't ask) by 3:30 a.m.---early for New Orleans standards. Now the downside (in her book---a-okay in our book). He lives in Houston. Nothing like distance to make the heart grow fonder---and to allow Mindy to concentrate on her books (like that really happens, but we can hope).
"The boy" will be back in a month for Mardi Gras, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, she's going to spend a little more time with the friends that introduced them to make sure she's not forgotten. As if. And best of all, Mindy said that her "faith in all mankind has been restored" (direct quote). Just when she thought she would never meet anyone. Even if this boy is not THE ONE, there's hope!
Mindy and I meet in New York tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll get more details. She's sure to have a picture on her phone too.
