So, I ran into CK today and something felt different. I don't know if I'm happy or sad about this fact. Like every other time I'm all starry-eyed and smiley and this wasn't quite that. Maybe it was because he was only here for a few minutes, or because he didn't even sit down, or we were in the middle of something else. Who knows. It felt off. And perhaps it had to do with him. There are times when I can't quite decipher the difference between my feelings and the ones I'm picking up through my empathy.
This isn't to say that I didn't recognize him the minute I saw a truck pass by the window, even if it wasn't his typical truck. I still smiled when he walked in the door. We still joked and I laughed a bunch. It's easy to do that around him. We were just talking about some paperwork he needed, but I kinda wanted him to sit down and chat. So I guess that's still there. As he went next door to "work" he said something like, "don't have too many beers, it is Friday after all." I told him we had to work tomorrow and he said he did too. But what I should have asked was if he was buying! I'm gonna need a couple beers tonight.
The busiest part of the year hasn't even started yet. Wish me luck when that time rolls around. Probably next week!
Anyways, yeah, Mom's been talking about CK a lot lately. I think I mentioned that she's been bringing him up randomly. This last week was several times in a row. Even when I joked about needing a bunch of kids and she suddenly suggested him as a donor. eep! I figured she'd backed off that idea when she stopped calling him her wannabe son-in-law. heh.

Speaking of "son-in-laws": Mr. Bright Eyes came back into the office last night about the time I got distracted from this entry. Mom kept asking me who he was and I pretended not to remember so as not to bring up the whole thing last year. I mean she was practically trying to shove him on me. Didn't take her long to remember after he walked in though. She started teasing me the moment he walked out the door!
He's a nice guy, don't get me wrong, and has one of these really contagious smiles that get me every time. But I just can't. Not the way my crazy mother keeps implying. haha. I'd rather sit around here and stare into his eyes every time he walks by. That seems like more fun. ;-)
I won't say that I minded much that I was wearing a new shirt and happened to feel really good about it. That must be my luck kicking in. I mean that and the fact that he was missing another paper so he gets to come back.
Welcome to another year of me spilling about all the good lookers that walk through the door. Hey! This is like the highlight of my year. I can't help it that I don't have anything else going on. Maybe one of these days I'll go out and explore the world a little more. [tentative plans for this coming break, but nothing is finalized...]
And I just happened to stand up and glance out the window to see CK pulling out of the parking lot. Sorta surprised he didn't stop in, but he must have been going for coffee. I'm slightly enamored with the fact that he had a beautiful dog tied up to the back of his truck.
I must have lied about what I said earlier......
