The Single LifeKimmie on the Prowl: Check ‘Yes’ or ‘No’
Speed dating was actually pretty fun!

In LoveKimmie on the Prowl: (Awkward!) Online Date
My date arrived. In a flannel shirt. Not like hot, J-Crew-I'm-still-glistening-from-all-the-wood-I-chopped-here-are-my-sexy-abs-flannel; like 80's flannel. Not even just bad 80's flannel, like my-worn-out-pajamas-from-when-I-was-nine-are-in-better-condition, flannel. This is what I changed eight times for?!
