Meet the Folks
Feb. 12th, 2004 08:41 amAfter work today, I'm off to Dallas to see the boyfriend for Valentine's day, and I couldn't be happier. Work's been really stressful right now, because the pressure for change is being laid on hard. Apparently upper management has a lot of goals they are trying to get through. Of course, they don't align their goals (there's 6 different managers) so we're having to scramble to try to sort out the mess they are creating.
That isn't the big news here. The big thing is that this weekend I get to meet the parents. Chris' (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The funny thing is that this is bringing every one of my shortcomings into focus. Am I too Fat? Is my hair right? Will they like me? Should I kiss Chris when I see him? Do I kiss him hard, or soft in front of the folks? do I need to watch what I say?
It's not like they've never met one of Chris' paramours before, and they already know we're dating. I remember when Chris was on the phone with his parents one day, and I heard him mention my name. There was a couple of seconds where I guess the question was, is it a friend or someone..."Romantic", Chris stated. Wow. That impressed me.
My dad knows I'm dating, but given the chance to meet Chris, he declined. I think it's going to be a while before Chris meets mine. I'm sure my sister Laura, who turns 30 this Valentine's Day, would tell me it's not good to have your boyfriend meet our mother, period.
