A Girl Meets A Boy: A friend of mine (now ours) had a birthday party.  He lives 2 houses up.  I decided to be a good neighbor and attend the party.  I stayed for a while but actually was ready to leave because I didn’t know many people and the women seemed to all know one another and I felt like an outsider.  But before I left, I ended up in the kitchen talking to a really funny woman and her husband (don’t remember their names though).  At some point the front door opened and in walked these two guys.  I glanced over my shoulder and then did a double take.  This FINE man had come in.  I tried to be nonchalant and keep talking but was kind of trying to keep track of what was going on behind me in the living room.  There were a lot of “ummm” and “ahhhs” in that conversation.   I was hoping he didn’t leave before I got to talk to him… at least find out his name. Well, before I knew it he was standing at my elbow.  Yeah, like right beside me!  I looked up into the prettiest brown eyes I have ever seen in my life.  I may have started drooling at that point… not sure.  But I know I was gazing up at him right stupidly! But I couldn’t help myself.  All I could do was just hope he didn’t notice.  So we started chatting.  I probably sounded a little stupid because all I was thinking about was how fine and sexy he was.  But apparently I was able to hold on enough of a conversation to keep him interested.  At some point the guy he came with came over and said “Hey man, you ready to go?”  At that point, panic ran through me!  I had not talked to him enough! He hadn’t asked me for my phone number yet!  This dude needed to lean back!  So I took him (the friend) by the hand and walked him to the other side of the room and told him “Ummmm, I need you to sit down.  No.  He is not ready to go.  I am working on something here.”  I kinda pushed him into a chair and walked back over to the sexy brown eyed man.  So a few minutes later, I had given him (the sexy brown eyed man) my phone number.  Told him to call me and “released” him to his friend.  The next day, he called.  I was delighted.  Like could barely contain it delighted.  But played it cool.  We chatted for a while about random stuff.  Somehow we talked about me liking wine… surprise surprise.  Well then he asked what I was doing later that day.  At the time, I had a handyman who I would contract my repairs, small jobs, etc – he is a wonderful older man who takes side jobs but… he has since been replaced ;-)  But anyway he was doing some work in the house that day.  But he would be gone in a few hours.  So my new friend (the sexy brown eyed man) asked if he could come over.  I told him yes around 7:00 or 8:00 that evening.  Well he did.  He came over that evening, with a bottle of wine, and wonderful conversation and he has been at my house everyday since!
