Good news, I have been up early. Bad news, I didn't sleep a wink!
I am a little slow on the uptake and hoping the coffee kicks in real soon. Have finished one meeting, and in 15 mins, three back-to-back lectures begin..I hope I make SENSE! LOL! Don't worry. So far so good! The cool effect is my voice is a little low-pitched, raspy, and I'd like to believe--sexy! This will come in handy tonight. Oh, BTW, you guys, tonight is that date with the new guy, Joel, who'd called and asked me out the day of my birthday. We're meeting for a glass of wine, and at this point I'm wondering how bad it would sound if I drank COFFEE or SODA instead of wine! I wouldn't want to fall asleep in my drink!
Well, here's to upcoming performances through the day that hopefully give an aura of being erudite, informative, entertaining, and scintillating!! And convincingly MASK any tell-tale signs of the non-existent sleep! I ask no less of my sleep-deprived brain!
Oh! good news, I dropped yet another pound this morning. And hence, yet another reason why I don't want to jinbx this progress by contaminating it with the evil influence of WINE!!!
Let's look at the options: going to a wine bar and NOT drinking wine, thus hinting of being a dork/health-nut etc., OR drinking wine, as expected, and risking a chance of falling asleep in my glass!!! I'll wait and see which way to cast the dice.
Well, keep your fingers CROSSED that I keep my brain cells and eye balls from gettin UNCROSSED!!! Ok, that DID NOT make sense! LOL! Hey, at least I KNOW when I'm NOT MAKING SENSE!!! THIS IS PROGRESS :)
I FEEL GOOD!
Catch ya'll later!

Update: Survived---and thrived on the 1st class; 2nd class was just ok, but the 3rd one--I was ON!! Man, what is it about talking to a crowd that gets me going?! Hey, at this rate sleep could well become REDUNDANT!! LOL!
Where IS everyone??? Whatever happened to yesterday's flurry of activity on here??

I'm here now! Or should I have typed I'M HERE NOW in my louder type so it would help keep you awake? Ya, that wine might be tricky if you are truly on the verge of nodding off. You don't want your date to think he is boring you to tears by yawning and dozing off mid-conversation! Suck back a diet Red Bull (for the record, I hate energy drinks because I think they taste worse than cough syrup but I acknowledge that my opinion is not shared by all!) or pop some caffeine pills. Whatever it takes. If all else fails, come clean with the guy and fess up about your lack of sleep and maybe he won't care if you order a coffee as opposed to the wine. Honesty can be sexy! Hope it all works out for ya and I expect a full report : D

Wow! Lack of sleep has made you impatient, my friend! LOL. =)
I agree w/Evelyn. Honesty maybe a good move. You don't want him to think that he's boring you to sleep! I'm so excited for you tonight! Hey maybe the adrenalin will keep you in fine form. Have fun, smile that great smile of yours and hope for the best!
Good luck! =)

Think how flattered the guy would be if you told him about your sleepless night, but that you still very much wanted to keep your date - but would he mind going to a nice coffee house so you can enjoy his company even more! 4 days in a row of losing! You rock! You're a superstar! Have a wonderful time on your date. HUGS!

you know, I'm not really sure how I knew! I've been to so many redwood forests in CA, but there's just something about Muir woods...Maybe because I used to spend every weekend there when I was little...

I think the excitement of the first date will keep you up! I think having a shot of espresso an hour or so before the date will give you a little boost. And if you do decide to drink wine, stick to one glass and drink white wine or if you prefer red, pinot noir (it's a light red). I have to agree that being honest with your date will help so he'll understand whether or not you drink. Best of luck!

I'd go for the coffee. Congrats on the new low! Have fun on your date!

I agree w/fallingoff. If you do have to drink red...stay away from your zins (they're the highest in alcohol content). Pinot Noirs are lower in alcohol content. For whites, reislings are low. Have fun, be flirty and compliment him alot!
