Life Skills

     FINALLY! Somebody of the male persuasion . . .  Angeline found herself thinking as she found herself restraining the urge to start sprinting down the street towards her well-dressed neighbor. With a deep breath --  a futile attempt to calm her nerves -- she boldly strode down the block while the man looked through his mailbox. Footsteps filled the still, silent air as the man looked up at the woman standing in front of his house with a tentative smile. They locked eyes . . .

Caaaaaan youuuu feeeel the loooove toniiight?

He found himself lost in a deep emerald sea.

She found herself lost in awkward mustache hair.

Classic flirting technique -- trashing the other women in town. What an awesome first impression. However, before this intelligent conversation could truly begin to go somewhere, Angeline's stomach began growling. After saying goodbye to Victim 1 Nathan, Angeline began to walk home when it hit her: without cookbooks to rent from the library and being too cheap broke to afford her own meant that she was going to have to wing learning how to cook. She was not going to live on cereal and salad for the rest of her life!

Mac and Cheese will probably end up being her last meal, though.

 Miraculously, she didn't burn the house down! And with that wraps up our warmup of the 100 Baby Challenge . . . the baby chimes will start playing in a never-ending loop!

Angeline, dreaming of the challenge's ending (before it even started).
