My date on Saturday went awesome… until I took a header and ended up black and blue with broken glasses (and broken glass from my beer bottle!) But, thanks to the power of the good ‘ole margarita/Corona combo and a huge swimming pool, I managed to ward off the pain. Couldn’t walk when I finally emerged from the pool (from the pain, not the drink), but still… LOL. Fortunately blue eyes and I managed to salvage the evening (hubba, hubba) and I had a blast on my first motorcycle ride (except for the part where I burned my ankle on the tailpipe. Yes, this dating stuff hurts. ;)

I did have breakfast this morning with the middle school teacher. Snore. He was a nice enough guy but there were zero sparks, even of the friendship type. When I finally got up to thank him and leave, he was like, “Um, okay, e-mail me.” Yeah…

The Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup** is the brainchild of Saramel (retired). It is hosted on a rotating basis at the PT-LawMom, A Little Fish in Law School, and A New Duck blogs and is usually posted no later than Monday morning. Next week’s MILP Roundup will be hosted by Butterflyfish.

Yes, I know the Roundup was not mine this week, but I’m taking one for the team and covering for sweet New Duck. Again, doing the quote-that-tweaks-your-interest Roundup.
