The 30 Day Meme: Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
My idea of the perfect first date and my first date are one and the same. I was so excited I couldn’t sleep (okay, so maybe the lack of sleep part detracted from my first-date-perfectness). Dan was on time, nice, sweet, excited, but shy and a bit uncertain; he was a perfect gentleman, and we had a kick-ass location for our first date: an amusement park!

We have all lost touch with her, and we saw her a year ago only because her brother had died and she came to the funeral.
If you or someone you know is dealing with alcoholism, try to get help. There are options for Sober Living. It isn’t easy, and it’s going to take a lifelong commitment, but if you want it badly enough, it can be done.
I find it funny that so many Americans are so “oh gosh no I’d never dream of owning one of those!”, yet statistics* seem to prove otherwise:
