Vickie, I luv ya! Erica, I luv ya! Ashley, I get the biggest kick out of you and your different nuances and peculiar traits! You're aces, darlin'!
First things first. Vickie let me know that she and the family are well, and just coming off some well-deserved vacation time. I am so happy!
So, a few posts back I mentioned a gal named Ashley who works at the Double T Diner in Bel Air. I think a good portion of Heaven's angels must surely be diner waitresses! I said I wasn't anticipating any kind of connection with Ashley; but when a beautiful woman has a penchant for 1940's vintage pop art, culture (she knew Jimmy Durante as "The Schnoz" - bestill!), music and fashion...well, how can I help but to try to create a connection - at some level - with a gal like that. If she were a guy, all those interests would catapult her to the front of the drinkin' buddy/best friend pack. Just sayin'. Suffice it to say, she's cool! Ashley has this little squeak to her voice that could melt the Tin Man's heart, but I digress. Anyway, I've been making a bit of an effort to try to get her attention, lately. Then, last week, I ran across a pair of earrings that I knew she'd buy for herself, had she seen them first - lucite pink poodles, of all things. They weren't very expensive, but they were so totally her! It would have been wrong to not get them; so, I did. I gave them to her tonight and she really enjoyed them. Then, she invited me to go swing dancin'. While it is no more (or no less - 'cause swing/big band is right up my alley) than what it is, her invitation put me on Cloud 9 for the rest of this evening, just to think someone as cool as her wants to keep my company! There might have even been a coupla woo-hoos and yee-haws in the car on my way home. Perhaps. Okay, there were.
More good news! My friend Lynn is coming back to town this week, and I'm off from work while she's here. Lynn is really cool, too - mostly by way of playful annoyance and irreverent sarcasm! Her company, last time she was in town, let me know that my heart still had the room and desire for a wonderful, beautiful love, confidant, co-conspirator and very special best friend. So, I owe my buddy Lynn a debt of gratitude I'll never be able to properly repay. She's awesome! She and I, and our friend Vickie and her fiance are all going to an Orioles game on Wednesday evening. I honestly cannot wait to hang out with these fine, wonderful people, all of whom I love and admire greatly!
It would be greatly remiss of me to not give all the honor and glory of my wonderful good fortune back to its undeniable source, the Good Lord in Heaven above. Many of you know that I have been having "issues" with God, lately. Once again, His way and His timing are the better option. You think I'd learn...
Tonight - in this moment - life is fun and I am happy!
