it's all about the name
when i was a nanny, the mom's boss wanted to set me up with her daughter's soccer coach. i had never even met her boss.
already that is a great story. it gets better,
his last name...
muhlberger!
pronounced mule+burger
i don't think i could picture myself being mrs. muleberger.
the date never happened, but i'm sure it would've been a treat.

blind date #1
where these tragic blind dates began: the year 2006.
now is the time i really wish i kept journal. i am going to have to pull these dates out from pure memory. here we go...
one summer afternoon i showed up at my little brother's football game to cheer him on as usual. after the game, a lady approaches me. her son is on the team, and had noticed me during the game and decided to ask if i was single. after telling her yes, she then begins to tell me about this amazing guy i need to go out with, her nephew. not seeing a way out of it, i accepted.
a few days later, he calls, we set up a time to do a lunch date. he has me meet him at his work in springville. (red flag?)
after an awkward moment introducing ourselves, and realize we are about the same height (5'3"), we head out to his car. i mean his ginormous truck. i literally had to jump and then pull myself up to get in, all while he is still holding the door open for me, watching. so happy i wasn't wearing a dress.
he doesn't give me an option as to where we are eating lunch, and pulls into a sandwich shop. i don't eat sandwiches... now what i am going to eat? i order a toasted almond chicken salad, seemed like a safe choice to me. wrong. i hated it. i picked out the yummy almonds and scooted the lettuce leaves around during our boring conversation trying to make it look like i am eating a fair amount. i wish i remembered more about what we talked about, what he said, what he wore, but i just remember there being lots of awkward silences, almost as if i had to force a conversation out of him. after lunch he dropped me back off at my car and asked if i wanted to do something later on that day. i quickly made an excuse and never saw him again.
and that was the kick off to my awesome blind dates!
the end.
