Second Date

I had my second date with a mom I met through Matching Moms.  We met at her house for our "blind date" and it was pleasant enough, but no fireworks.  Lily threw a big ol' tantrum, which is always nice..  She seems to be OKD, has a law degree, moved here from NH, loves old houses, kids have nice names--Lilah and Annabelle.  In subsequent e-mails, Melodie (the mom) was really funny, so I got my hopes up.  Maybe that first meet was just a fluke, an off day for all of us.  So she came here today.  I cleaned like a maniac to get the house up to "Damn these folks are PIGS" level.  Even wiped the handprints off the stairwell.  They have a house in which you are not allowed to wear shoes, so I was trying to be on the safe side.  Turns out she is "a bit anal about housekeeping."  uh-oh.  On the whole, it was okay, but again, no fireworks.  She doesn't talk much, no sparkle.  No easy laugh, no funny.  I get no feel for the kids, really.  Lilah did go play with Ben, which is nice.  Annabelle is an adorable 18 mos. old.  But I had such high hopes after the funny emails.  I don't know though...Why are Real People so complicated?  People who are Cyber Funny should be Real Funny, too dammit.
