Toasted Bananas, anyone?

Remember when it was exciting to get ready for a date? Shaving your legs, putting on your makeup, and picking the perfect outfit were exhilarating. I couldn't wait to see the look on Jared's face when he saw me all dolled up.

Back in the day the worst that might happen was making Jared wait...

Now when I have a date, I have to sneak away to change into clothes without spit up on them, put on some lip gloss, and instead of shaving my legs I'm happy with getting to run the brush through my hair.

Oh, how times change.

Now I sneak away and come back to find the smell of something burning and bananas shoved into my toaster. Nice.

Maybe while I get ready for my date this Friday I'll find exploded grapes in the microwave.

What a special experience...bananas in the toaster... ick! :) Good luck this Friday, at least you know you'll be laughing while your out.

oh the days of old...
juice boxes in a vcr render it useless.
no one is allowed to laugh at the ownership of outdated technology.

Well at least they make you laugh and keep you on your toes, right? At least you get a date :) Even if he's stepping on your toes, or vice versa! Just kidding!

Kind of takes the fun out of "dating", huh?
Dating also used to mean free dinner...Dang!
