Something In The Way…

Posted By on February 26, 2008

As mad as I was when I stomped down the stairs I caught him through the window out of the corner of my eye. He had stopped to finish a conversation on his cell phone before getting into his truck. He was facing the house with his new sunglasses on leaning on the bed of the truck.

And as mad as I was… he still got to me. I choked up a bit and then got even more mad at him for getting to me on top of being a jerk.

Later when I thought about it I flashed back to that “accidental” meeting at the mall many, many years ago. He had the sexiest blond highlights (completely natural of course), a twinkle in his icy blue eyes, and the most sexy, mischievous grin.

Sometimes it’s easy to go through the day to day activities and forget little things. Like the way he runs his fingers through his hair, or the way he smells after a shower, or the way he laughs this wicked little chuckle that reminds me of my grandpa.

And, sometimes it’s pretty cool when you remember those good things at just the right moment. Like, for example while you are working up a list of ingredients to go in his dinner that night.

Those sunglasses probably saved his entire digestive tract. :sly:

    You could always talk about those moments to cheer him up as he slowly dying from the “surprise” ingredient in his dinner. :rotflmao:

    Not that I, you know, ever did that.

    And he’ll never know how closely he came to getting an Ex Lax surprise.

  3. Britt's mom says:

    Sigh.

    Swooning now…..

  4. Miss Britt says:

    Awww… I was right there with you. The whole way. Sweet and gushing and -

    fingers through his hair??

    He doesn’t have any hair, does he??

  5. Marti says:

    Oh how sweet! I have a friend (not me I swear – LOL) who pees in her husband’s beer when she is pissed (bad pun) at him.

  6. B says:

    I still think you should put a little something extra in his dinner! Just to be safe ya know! :thumbsup:

  7. Amy says:

    Marissa – :toya:

    Avi – Who said anything about exlax? :sly:

    B’s Mom –

    Britt – he has hair now… I mean, you know, that’s always a temporary thing. Bald can be sexy too… it’s just… he sort of has hair at the moment.

    Marti – LOL, I’m more into using large amounts of cayenee, habaneros, and ex lax.

    B – Hmmm, good point. Better to be safe than sorry… :smooch:

  8. Mr. Fabulous says:

    I have it tough. I can’t run my fingers through my scalp.

  9. Amy says:

    True, but on the upside it doesn’t sound as if Mrs.Fab wants to cause you extreme discomfort either. So, at least there’s that! :groovy:

  10. Crys says:

    ah, Jesus showed up for him today.

  11. That was one of the most romantic posts I’ve ever read… Seriously! :lurve:

  12. Amy says:

    Crys – how’s it go? Even the sun shines on a dog’s ass every once in a while. :rotflmao:

    Tense – awww, :thanks:

    Someone was passing around a ginormous bag of M&M’s in a meeting today. When they came to me, I turned to the passer and said “Are they male? I only like male M&M’s.” A perplexed look and one “male???” later to which I responded “you know, with nuts!” I’m just glad I still have my job.
