What gets me in trouble every time

So I've not hit nervous for my date that is in exactly six days. But I've already been to "what are you thinking?" about two days ago. A good friend has a 4th of July picnic every year. I haven't even met date #2 yet, but I'm already thinking how exciting it would be to go to this picnic with someone. I'm getting waaaaaay ahead of myself. Which I know is setting myself up for disappointment. Again.  Maybe this time will be different. (The eternal optimist prevails.)
