I'm notoriously super suckie at taking pictures of the more enjoyable moments in my life with the folks I care about the most...but for anyone who showed an interest in knowing how my date went, here's my breakdown 🙏🏼🙌🏼💗

Dangit, after my half-date/half-comedy show, of having a relatively non-threatening, stress-free, nearly half of a full day's worth of awesomeness date, I realized that I didn't snap a photo us! So, the one and only pic I have of us from yesterday (below) was from another comedian's post-show Facebook post where you can see my mermaid flippers in my Chucks and the tippy top of my head and headband!

Unfortunately, a toothache, that my date Chris had told me he was beginning to feel on Friday, had shockingly caused half of his face to be all swelled up by the time he woke up Saturday!

I'm sure his dentist will say he needs antibiotics, tried to get him to get it checked out, but just did what I could for now to at least keep his spirits lifted, his mind distracted, and his inflammation down. Icing it was probably the most helpful in reducing that swelling.

Dude was clearly in pain; however, I was extremely impressed by his driven dedication to his 'craft' and his above-par work ethics. With good enough reasons to legit tap out, instead that man simply turned his swollen face into a little comedy bit and went all out with his fabulous energy to host the show!!!

On top of that, we had such a marvelous time simply taking it easy, walking around a beautiful little lake, sitting closely by the teensy lake's edge, telling each other all sorts of things about our lives, and relaxing under the Texas September sun, soaking in that VIT-D!! It was so perfect out, and everything was so peaceful and relaxing, that I sure could've fallen asleep beside that lake.

I mean, Chris had to be on his phone now and then because he was also the man who was there early for setting up the comedy show and he had to be in touch with the other comics, but aside from that (which he did graciously and politely)—we were NOT sitting with each other but staring at our phones (like a couple of royal nincompoops). It was just so nice.

IF he was figuring something out on his phone or whatever, he would automatically lower it and give me full eye contact while I spoke to him. I didn't ever have to make subtle threats over his utter lack of self-control—I mean, ask him to put it away! LOL 😂

For real though, I can't put into words how much I love and appreciate things like that effortless eye contact I receive while he exemplifies his smooth communication skills, his chivalrous nature at traditionally expected times, our shared marvelously blunt yet semi-charming characteristics, his ability to make deeply serious, heartfelt discussions intertwined with inappropriately timed, witty banter, him entirely understanding the way my mind works and picking up what Im putting down the first time, and much more!

It's always been incredibly easy to just be me around him, but I sure got nervous as flippin hell for what ended up being no reason beforehand!! Now, I can't wait to see him again when we both feel awesome and can go to Pin Stacks and play arcade games, win a shit ton of their stupid tickets, and use them to buy stupid prizes before stepping into the bowling alley! 😍🥰💗🙌🏼🙏🏼
