He opened his mouth and said, "Hi, my name is Christian."
"Hi, Christian, nice to meet you..." I said waiting for what would come next.
" I'm new in town and I was looking for people to meet. Do you want to go get coffee sometime?"
Well, I was a little surprised, but this has happened before when I was a waitress. Immediately I started to say, "I don't drink cofee..."but then I looked into his eyes and started to think. Of course I can't be totally rude and shut him down, "NO I don't even know you! You could be a freak that stalks poor little Ross girls like me!" And, I am aware that it is difficult to get up the courage and ask a person out. Especially when you don't really know them. He really took a chance. So, knowing what he must be going through, I decided to put him out of his misery and prevent an ulcer from coming on by finishing the sentence this way, "...but I do like hot chocolate. We could go for coffee and hot chocolate ."
Relieved: "That sounds good. When do you get off work?"
Uneasy : "Around 2, but tomorrow might be better"Not wanting to give my number: "Do you have facebook? Look me up. My name is Hillary Adamson."
And then it was over. Thank fully no one was in line. PHEW. I was rather embarrassed to find a co worker had walked up just as I had said "look me up on facebook." How stupid can I be!? This ISN"T IDAHO!! I forget that the world of YSA doesn't exist outside of BYU-I.
I got off work and was wondering what I should do. I had a list of excuses I could use to call the whole thing off, but after talking to my dad about it, I decided it would be best to honor the "Date". He deserved that.
Today I went at 2 to Kafe 101 and had a muffin and hot chocolate with Christian (I did NOT befriend him on FB just fyi! Just used message thank you very much.) We had a good time. We talked and I found out he just graduated high school, lived in Hawaii and now was going to SOCC among other things. It was very relaxed and I don't know why I was so worried before. We walked on the boardwalk and at the end, I said good bye, and good luck in school, and that was it! TA-DA!! A cashier's date executed to the finish. BAM.
Afterwards I went shopping for some mission clothes. You won't believe how extremely hard that is! I need some cardigans, sweater sets, long skirts, and button up shirts, tees....man. I didn't get far. I finally decided to just check Good Will. I found two skirts there and a sweater vest. Haha, one of the skirts was pretty huge! Me and my mom BOTH fit into it zipped up! I sewed it smaller already, but I'll post the pictures. :D

Siamese twins connected at the rump!
