"Wow."

That was what Phil said when he saw me in my little black dress last night. I don't even think he knew he said it - he just looked up, saw me, and that one little word popped out.

Does a lot for a girl's ego. I went to another mixer and while I did see Larry, he was trying to close a few business deals and so we didn't have a chance to talk. It gave me a chance to chat further with Michael, a man I met at last month's mixer. We ended up exchanging emails and phone numbers, and by the time I got home, Michael had sent me a message saying "it is worth repeating-you looked terrific tonight in that black dress. I would love to hear from you anytime ..."

Every day should be like this - full of compliments and promise.
