Ok.. Well.. I just have to write about this because it is way too good..
Yesterday.. I worked.. obviously.. It is what I do every damn day.. Well.. I was returning home at roughly 8 p.m. when a friend called and wanted help picking out a gift.. well.. not having any plans and having blown off my friends for a while.. (*restricted duty.. being good.. etc ).. I thought it may be nice to get out of the house and go shopping.. so... I did. (*wait.. it gets better.. this is just the build up silly.. ) So I arrived.. we met up.. and shopped.. It was great fun.. walked around.. and upon hitting every store.. decided to stop by our local Irish pub for a pint.. (*Yes.. Guinness is the fruits of the Gods.. )
and thus.. the debauchery began.. well.. not quite as naughty as you may think.. but stay with me.. As we sat and sipped.. a friend stopped in and upon seeing us imbibe the forbidden fruit.. joined.. and then another.. and yet another.. until we had 8 people at our little table.. (apparently we were not the only ones with evil wanton angst, quenched only by dark beer and good humor).. and then.. my friend notices the table behind us.. there is a group of gentlemen sitting there.. Rocking out to the band.. (*great music.. open mike night.. and the band was rockin) She nods at me and laughs and puts up the horns.. they see her do it.. and thus.. horns all around.. and I see one gentleman throw up the horns and cheers to the Crue... Ok.. new friend.. well my friend befriends this table of well dressed miscreants.. and then.. the tables became one.. (*I think I actually saw the table legs playing footsie.. but that is another story.. ) As we all are talking and laughing.. the rearranging occurs.. you all know what this is.. when the participants in a 'gathering' all change seats and change conversatins.. well I ended up next to the handsome devil.. and lo and behold.. we had about a million things in common.. We ended up talking about everything from boats, to moats, to wild crazy hair days.. needless to say.. we became fast friends and enjoyed eachothers company for two hours.. At that point it was about eleven.. and someone (*yeah me.. ) has to work.. so as we departed.. the silver tongued devil offers to walk us to my car.. Upon arrival I received a great hug.. (*guys.. if you are still reading.. turn away.. chick moment.. )Not just one of those "pat.. pat.." hugs.. one that is strong and embracing.. I am not usually that sappy but it was really nice.. so ok.. I might give this guy my actual number.. and so I did.. and received his in return.. I arrived home.. my friend departed.. and not long after.. the phone rings.. It is the gentleman.. We talked for two hours about even more and less.. It was one of those great conversations where you really get caught up in what the other person is saying and involve yourself in the discussion.. The difference between 'hearing' and 'listening'.. Anyone can hear someone.. but to listen intently and absorb the words.. is something completely different.. in todays busy world.. sometimes you forget how important it is to 'listen'.. but I digress.. so we talked one of those great convo's and then.. off to bed.. with the promise of yet another great chat.. and as I hung up the phone.. I had four missed calls.. I think my Taxi light above my head just says "on duty" .. because everyone was trying to hail me.. 2 ex bf's, a could have been bf, and a potential suitor.. What in the holy blue hell was in the air last night???? I had the best time ever... !! I fell asleep feeling like a princess.. Once in a while.. we can all have those days and or nights.. where we feel like maybe, just maybe.. the world is our oyster.. A silly story, I know, but once in a while when you have those great moments.. you share them.. Even after only two hours of sleep.. I still woke up feeling like the cat who ate the canary.. or a smitten kitten.. either way.. I have attacked the day with the gusto and tanaciousness of a Greek Goddess at the games..
and to update.. at paragraph 3.. I received a text from the man.. wishing me a wonderful day..
Awww, thanks Mare! You're the best, I'm starting to feel better already! (((Hugs back to Mare)))
Sometimes that's all it takes, a nice hug. Other times I need a great big martini, lol! Unfortunately that'll have to wait until tomorrow since I have an early morning...
