So after the great day thursday was, friday rolled in with alot of momentum.
I started getting ready for our meeting with Robert. And made an enthusiastic effort to amputate my foot whilst shaving my legs. Big ol gash, blood running out, and what do I say? "Well that sucks". I then pulled out the 1" long piece of skin from the razor, watched myself bleed for a few seconds, and went back to shaving. Being practical I figured I better scrape off the shaving cream before it ran down into the gash and really hurt.
Got dressed, and found that I must still be shrinking, as my Sz 8 jeans are now a bit loose. And its likely the Topomax for my migraines may make me lose more weight-so at least I can start eating more :D. But anyhow, I decideed to go with my corset under a nice clingy sweater top I have, topped it off with my braided sash. And I think I looked pretty damn good :) Forgot my necklace though :\ Slapped on my make up(down to about 20 minutes now, compared to an hour a few months ago) and we got out the door running a bit late.
Traffic was utter hell. Surface streets wound up being faster, and we were only 10 minutes late. The place was packed, and Robert met us out front, and asked if we'd rather just talk at his house where it would be much quieter. Hearing the dull roar coming out of Zipps, the house was a good plan :)
So we followed him over to his house. He gave us a tour, showed us his rather tasteful art collection. Introduced us to his cat, who's adorable(Yeah, so I like cats, sue me :p). Then we sat down and started chatting.
All in all it went very well. Jen was rather nervous, and was pretty quiet throughout. But Robert told us alot about himself and about some of the interesting people he's met through his life. Found out that hes been an active shooter(as in firearms) for most of his life, and that we both prefer a .40 cal Glock. So needless to say he gained a few more points on that.
Jen got alot of food for thought, and is still mulling it all over. Hopefully the next couple times she won't be so nervous and can open up a bit. It takes her a while to relax around new people so time will tell I suppose.
We called the evening a bit short, as he had a rather nasty sounding sinus infection. And with a busy travel schedule for the next few weeks I hope the extra rest now helps him get over it before he sets out.
Jen and I stopped at Carls Jrs for dinner, had some yummy burgers, and then came home since she was rather tired. James was hanging out with Staci and Arlene when we got home, so we all sat around and chatted for a while.
Jens Sgt called from work and told her she had new days off, works out as Saturday, sunday and monday nights. So it works out pretty good I think. After that I went over to James and we perused tat pictures online, as I'm going to be getting a few and I'm looking for inspiration. And after that it was bed time :)
And the highlight of the day, Robert telling me I looked really good, and seeing his smile when he figured out I was wearing my corset :)
