December 5th - Cemented in History

  

Today is a day that is cemented in 

PaulA and Kat history....

December 5th, 

our first date.


We were sophomores at Groovy UVM,

living in the dorms on Redstone Campus

and

PaulA asked me to 

 a semi-formal party 

that his dorm was having with ours.

   

(The party was as "semi-formal" 

as you can get in a

dormitory lounge made of 

porous gray cinder blocks.)


So, as girls do…

I debated on what I should wear.  

Nothing I owned seemed worthy of a 

concrete block 

semi-formal affair…

so I walked down street to the center of Burlington 

to look for a 

cool yet groovylicious 

outfit to wear…

and came back with a 

brown velvet skirt and matching brown vest.

 #whatwasIthinking?


I guess I was going for a look that screamed

the old UPS slogan...

 "What-can-Brown-do-for-you?"


 It's a wonder PaulA didn't send me packing...

with packing slip and all.


I must say...

my date was looking quite spiffy in his 

corduroy jacket, 

white tie, 

and curly hair.





Anywhoooo……



This morning PaulA immediately said to me...

with no hinting…

no prodding…

no nudging...

"Today is December 5th...

the day of our first date."

bingo babe


That there is (dorm room)

concrete 

 proof 

my brown outfit didn't scare him away

and


December 5th is 

cemented in 

PaulA and Kat history.
