Lazy Sunday.
The weather was beautiful this morning, so I took my breakfast outside:
A big bowl of oatmeal with the Voluminous Oatmeal Trick.
One of my favorite things about the voluminous oatmeal trick (aside from how fluffy and creamy it makes the oats) is how easy it is. You do all the preparation the night before. So breakfast comes together in a snap, allowing you to be lazy.
(There’s nothing I like more than being lazy.)
However, at some point today, I’ll need to stop being lazy, because…
I have a blind date tonight! 😕
I’m really nervous and am wondering why I allowed my friends to talk me into this. Apparently they think there’s a problem with the fact that I haven’t had a serious boyfriend in almost a year. And apparently, these guys don’t count as “serious boyfriend” material:
I’m kind of excited, too. In all honesty, it’s not completely a blind date because I looked him up on facebook. (What did we do before facebook?) I just couldn’t resist.
Question of the Day:
Blind dates: scary or exciting?
And would you look up your date on facebook first? Or do you have more self-restraint than me?

I would definitely look him up on Facebook too! I would at least want to know a teeny bit about him before!
Jillian says
I hope that your blind date went well! And yes, definately would look him up on facebook first! I have heard from friends who have done blind dates that they usually go fairly well; sometimes our friends know us better than we know ourselves! 🙂 Hope you had fun!

lol.. i went on a blind date a year ago and it was miserable (but hilarious to look back on!) we went to the cheesecake factory and he ordered a salad (no idea what guy does that?) and then when the waitress brought bread to the table, he wouldn’t eat it!! it made me SO uncomfortable. and plus he was wearing flip flops and that was weird to me lol. he was such a “pretty” boy, and I go for more of the sporty guys! but anyways, blind dates are usually a fun/good experience!! I hope you had fun!
and by the way, i thought of you today because my friends birthday was yesterday and she had a vegan birthday cake and vegan cheesecake! SOO good!

I think blind dates are scary AND exciting. There’s always the fear of the unknown, but I’m really optimistic by nature, so I usually* think, “oh maybe we’ll really hit it off!” And I totally would look him up on Facebook. B/c I’m impatient.
*usually being the two times I’ve ever gone on a blind date

haha too funny!!! I stalk my friends new love interests on fb and then report back to them 😉
Oh and your gingerbread men remind me of a Christmas themed girls night we always have when my friends are back in town for the Holidays – we make Ginger-JERKS and then we eat them mwahaha 😀

Don’t feel bad—I am almost 30 (!) and have only been on one date.ever.seriously. And, it was a blind date. It was horrible—can you say “cocky?” Blech. The guy was very accomplished (created a very successful *organic* company..woo hoo!) but he clearly thought very little of everyone else. Hopefully yours went WAY better.
As for the facebook thing, I think it is sort of finding out the sex of your baby (is that a weird parallel? Hey, I’m 29, babies are on the brain!). As difficult as it is, the surprise is always so much better (IMHO). I was NEVER a present snooper—I think I enjoy the anticipation even more than an awesome gift!

I met my fiance on a BLIND DATE, and now we have a 10 month old son! Stranger things have happened I suppose. Just relax and enjoy yourself, and remember, you can always escape out of the bathroom window!
Cammy says
Oh I would definitely look him up on Facebook, and Google too!
Have fun!!!
Angela says
Do we get to hear about it?!
I met my bf on a blind date and it was the best thing I have ever done. And we’ve been together for almost a year. Scary though!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I wrote in another post a little bit more about it (and that I didn’t want to say too much because it’s awkward, since he knows about the blog!) 😉
Phoebe says
Goodluck on your date! 🙂 Love your recipies and pics they are so cute!!
Rene says
Hi Kate,
You are so young! Enjoy being single for awhile. I got married at 38 – I know it seems old to you but it worked out really well for me. Good Luck and I enjoy your site.

I met my fiancé/soul mate through a blind date. Didn’t Facebook him as I didn’t even use FB at that point!
