Here Comes The Sun…
May 17th, 2006
Today, for the first time in almost 2 weeks, the sun came out in Boston. I don’t think I can even express my joy at seeing sunlight filter through my blinds when I woke up this morning - FINALLY! It’s May, for crying out loud!
My happiness was compounded by the fact that I was out of clean pants to wear to work - sun meant I could wear a skirt! Woohoo!
As I got dressed this morning, I felt so spring-like as I put on a slim black skirt and light purple top, and slipped my bare feet into heels (no tights!). Obviously, the girly outfit required me to clip my hair back a little bit, and put on some swingy earrings. I feel so… feminine!
So, I left my apartment, and kind of bounced along as I walked to the T. About halfway to the T station, I saw a short, older woman - probably about 65 - walking towards me. As I passed her, she reached out and gently touched my arm as she asked, “Excuse me, could you stop for a minute?”
Assuming she needed directions somewhere, I smiled down at her and said, “Sure. How can I….” And broke off mid-sentence as she walked in a circle around me, looking me up and down. She ran a hand through her short gray hair, looked directly into my confused eyes, and said, “I think you are EXACTLY what my husband wishes I looked like, and am just trying to figure out how you do it.”Â
I broke into a nervous laugh, and stuttered out a thank you as she continued to gaze at me.Â
She turned to walk away, and called back over her shoulder, “You’re beautiful - just beautiful.”
So there you have it. Apparently wearing a skirt instead of pants entices 65-year-old women. And their absent husbands.Â
You really don’t remember me?
ha ha, that’s awesome! anna can even get geriatrics to fall for her! I should take notes…
p.s. I have the suze orman book too, but I got sidetracked when I tried to find out my FICO score. I should get back into that book so I can be a millionaire in a few years.
she didn’t sing that James Blunt song did she?
