When in danger
or in doubt, ogle
I
don't know if it's an emotional hangover from last night, disappointment
from not going down to see JJ&F, general missing of Lyndon,
or what, but I woke up this morning feeling seriously bummed. Not
even curling up under my just-purchased-repaired-and-washed antique
quilt while watching a nice big hissing, booming thunderstorm was
enough to cheer me up.
So
I did the only thing I could do under such circumstances -- I went
to the Blue Mesa and
ogled my favorite waiter for an hour or so (who got put into a different
section -- damn, I have got to start cultivating the hostess).
Yeah,
I know -- I'm a shameless slut. In my defense, part of me does feel
a bit bad about this; I mean, I'm sure Mr. Flirty is a perfectly
nice guy, and he probably doesn't need a post-menstrual stressed-out
Chicagoan contemplating his interesting bits and mentally undressing
him while he's trying to wait tables. But dammit, I don't have much
else going on right now -- I deserve a visual treat once a week.
Besides,
I don't think he minds all that much -- I don't drool, leer or leave
inappropriate mash notes on the bill, and I suspect that most guys
consider a bit of politely appreciative eyeballing as a boost to
the ego. As long as I don't offer to stuff a tip in his underwear,
I think it'll be cool.
No,
I'm not going to discuss how tempting that is. Y'all really shouldn't
egg me on like this.
And
for those of you who are puffing up in righteous indignation that
a happily married woman should have such naughty thoughts, please
remember that he was our waiter when Lyndon and I had brunch
on Easter, so Lyndon 1) has actually met him, 2) is fully aware
of the situation and 3) isn't particularly worried. I'm allowed
to look at the menu all I like -- I just can't order anything to
go.
Which
is fine with me. After all, I gained my basic mastery in the art
of unattainable male appreciating back in high school -- this is
just the graduate course.
