Monday didn't taste like chicken.

I went and met a guy I went to high school with for coffee tonight.
We didn't know one another really well in high school...
just never had the same classes or crossed paths much.
I guess he was always kind of a mystery to me b/c he dated the same girl for a long time,
and ya know, it's difficult to get to know the opposite sex when they're in a relationship.
I completely understand that concept, because I was in one for about 6 years.
So I knew going into our little coffee date that if nothing else, we had that in common.
We ended up having a lot in common, and I decided it was a shame we didn't know one another better in high school.
Then again, I guess we were different people then. I mean, I'm a different person than I was a year ago.
But it was nice to just sit and talk to him about life and laugh for a while.

One of my favorite topics of the evening?
Fashion.
He's not afraid to wear things that some men would shun.
Bright green pants? He's got em.
I whole heartedly support the green pants movement, because my favorite dress happens to be covered in owls and I know some people think it's hideous... but I love it & it makes me happy.
(Also, Summer told me I'm cool enough to pull it off. Thanks, Sum!)

["Bring your green hat pants!"]

[I name a different owl every time I wear this little lovely, because it makes me giggle. So far we've got Mary Kate... and Ashley. I know, awesome.]

Anyway, it was a good way to end a Monday!
I hope your Monday wasn't too Monday-ish!
XO

  2. My hubby and I didn't know eachother in high school ... we hung out in different crowds and he was 2 years above me. I met him my senior year at the athletic club I worked at, and we have been together ever since. I think it is funny that I once walked the halls of high school with my future husband!
    The owl dress ... so cute!!!!!

  3. I'm glad you can appreciate the green pants. My boyfriend has these just awful green pants and I just think he looks like a little freak, but I love him anyways ;) So I'm glad someone out there may not think hes a fool for wearing them! (:

    xox, K

  14. This post just made me grin ear to ear! In case you didn't know, my fiance Spencer and I have known each other since junior high, but we never really got to know each other. We'd nervously say hi but we never really hung out. Now we both admit to having crushes on one another throughout high school....but it wasn't until my senior year of college that we met up for a drink at the local TGIFridays in my hometown that a connection was made. Fashion was actually something WE talked about that night because we are both obsessed with Project Runway and it was a new season at the time. :)
    We often talk about how wierd it is that we never dated all of those years ago, but we also admit that if we had we probably wouldn't still be together. We had to grow and learn things on our own, to have life experiences and date other people who taught us what we were looking for. Now our relationship could never be stronger and we joke about our past. An example...last night when we were cooking macaroni and cheese and I laughed and said..."Yaknow 10 years ago I never would have imagined us cooking macaroni and cheese together in our kitchen....I may have made macaroni and cheese and wished you were there though!"

    Life happens for a reason! Keep us updated!!!

    and i agree, it can be really difficult to get to know the opposite sex while either you or they are in a relationship. it really sucks that its like that.
