The date is set

I know many of you have been wondering what happened with my Date Lab date. Well I hadn't written anything about it because for a while I wasn't even sure what was going on. I had been told that the date would take place sometime near the end of last week, but the editors never got back to me.

For a while there I thought that I'd been stood-up by the nation's second-largest newspaper and had a snarky post all set to go about that, but an e-mail I received late yesterday has brought to light new information. My date is set for sometime early next week. I know the time, place, and first name of my "date companion." I'm not going to say anything else about it until after the date, however. I think that would be smarter in terms of privacy, safety, etc...

Now there are three things on my mind:

1.) Will I make it to the date day without freaking out and heading for the border (north/south...pick one)? This remains to be seen...

2) Has he read this blog? I'm almost positive that he must have. The Washington Post uses a Technorati feature that links back to any blogs discussing any of their articles. I'm pretty much one of only a couple blogs in town talking about Date Lab on a fairly consistent basis. I get numerous hits from readers who link to me from the Post site. Plus, if you Google the phrase "Washington Post Date Lab," my blog appears on the first page. At any rate, I'm sure it will be interesting to find out...

3)What do I wear? I have no clue...

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I cannot wait to hear all about it! Is it sad that I'm so excited?

I'd go the jeans and a cute top route, depending upon where you are going. Wear something that you feel comfortable and attractive in.

There was this shirt I remember you wearing out with me, I think it was kelly green, and I always thought it looked sooooo good on you. Pants or Skirt? Whatever, just make sure it doesn't have cat all over it! Hair? Curly of course! Shoes? Obviously the Manolos.

I hope you get to go to a restaurant you haven't been to before! It seems they send the experiments out to pretty nice places, so that's a plus!

As a fellow datelab guineapig, may I suggest lucky jeans and a cute top? It seems to work well
