WHY?

I don't go to lunch. Maybe once a month with a coworker or every 3-5 months with a friend. First of all, I don't like cold or hot weather, so winter lunches and summer lunches are COMPLETELY out of the question unless you come to one of the restaurants in my building...

ALSO, I don't like having to lose my precious shaded parking spot (I have to arrive approximately 30 minutes early to get that spot).

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I am a creature of habit... once I got in the routine of never going to lunch, it made me feel "off" when I did go to lunch, so now it's been two and a half years and I'm the girl who doesn't go to lunch. I'm probably skinnier because of it, but less cool too...

So when a complete stranger (I guess not a STRANGER exactly, but I've never met this woman in my life... I've only talked to her about problems I have with her invoices... and even that I've probably only done twice) calls and asks me to lunch, I get all weirded out. First of all, I tend to avoid meeting new people because I usually don't like them. Second, I think she just wants something... new business or something, not that I have any say in that...

I was good and avoided her call for a week... but I didn't feel like I could push it much further... so I called her back. Luckily, her office closes at noon on Friday. My normal reaction would be total jealousy, but I only felt a great source of relief knowing I had put it off for another day. WHEW! THEN Monday came and she didn't return my call. CHA-CHING! Then... Tuesday came... 8:06... she calls... DARN IT MY STUPID LUCK.

We're going to lunch on Thursday... in my building (thank goodness)...

One problem... I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE WOMAN! How will I know who she is? I think she's old...

SO... what is an Undercover Blogger to do? Should I stand by the door and wait for an old woman to walk in by herself? Do I call and ask her to carry a single red rose? Hold a sign like they do at the airport with her name on it?

Why do I have to go? WHY?
