Blind Date?

My brother, Will, asked me if I'd go out on a blind date with a friend of a friend. He's never met the guy but he's been told he's very nice, quiet and clean. Clean? lol...that made me laugh. My one question was "What does he do for a living?", that was the one thing he apparently didn't know but I felt was more important then knowing what the guy looked like. For me anyway... I told him I'd consider it.

I haven't really dated in several years. I just haven't had much interest in putting myself out there and there hasn't really been anyone that's struck my fancy that much. I think it's more that I'm afraid to put myself out there but I can't say I regret the lack of dating I've done because my life has been pretty darn good over the years. I'm a bit nervous though and I haven't even said yes yet. Apparently the guy is quiet, I'm also quiet (especially one on one with someone I've never met) so that could be a little issue. Will said his friend who was interested in setting us up said he thought it'd be better if we did a one on one date but I think I'd be more comfortable with more of a group date, not a double date but maybe a get together with some people at someones house but if this guy is that quiet we might never talk with other people around. I don't know... Maybe I'm thinking about this too much...that wouldn't be anything new...lol

My name is Elizabeth and I'm an over analyzer...

If you've got an experience with blind dating I'd love to hear it!

So I came across this site from a blog I was checking out and it looked like a really neat idea. I love the idea of being able to lend $25, or more if you're able, to help someone else change their life. It's not just a simple donation it's lending the money and it gets paid back so you can take the money back or loan it to another person in need. Check it out if you get a chance!

New Year...New Haircut...Need Your Help!

Happy New Year! (Just a few days late...)

I'm looking to update my haircut for the year and I need some suggestions, hopefully with pictures. What do you think I should do to my hair? Right now it's long, probably 3 or so inches past my shoulders so I've got plenty of options, I just have no idea what I want to do with it. I don't want to go way short but I am willing to go a good 6-10 inches shorter than it is now if I could find something I really liked. So if you've got any suggestions feel free to share! I've got an appt. on Saturday to get it done so any inspiration would be greatly appreciated :)

Here's what I look like right now to give you some inspiration...
