Damn It … An Herb Update*
Because my neighbor Marsha and our friend Kelly did a supreme job of making me feel guilty …. because I’m an optimist … and mostly because I believe God plays jokes on us occasionally, I met Match-Herb for drinks tonight.
I was hoping for an ogre. He isn’t. He’s also a very, very nice guy. And nice absolutely makes a difference in my book.
Of course, I did have a good giggle on the phone with Marsha on the way to Harpos where Herb and I met. Also, hysterical laughing ensued during my drive home as I thought about H-E-R-B. And … I grinned all the way to the bathroom after the cute guy at the table next to us asked me (while Match-Herb was in the bathroom) if we were on a first date and for some reason I felt the need to share my name dilemma. (And here I’ll interject with another Damn It … where the heck are the cute boys asking me questions when I’m not on a date??? And couldn’t Match-Herb have taken a little longer to get back from the bathroom so the cute boy and I could have talked longer? Seriously?!?)
Despite the laughter (and the cute boy), I kind of like you-know-who. But, obviously, I’m still a little hung up on the name. Now what?
*Keith (and Jadea who noticed Keith’s funny comment), the rogue “n” the title is just for you!

Well, it’s at least looking like there’s a chance the line “Who’s your daddy?” may get some new meaning. I mean, imagine the giggles that statement would cause!

Justin … Justin … Justin. I wasn’t sure, but now I think you’ve definitley killed it for Match-Herb and me. Dead. Way dead.
PS I laughed out loud and this and unfortunately wasn’t alone … the people in the dermatologist’s waiting office probably thought I was crazy!
