Cow Pissin' & Pool

Sundays are my days to have lunch with my soon to be ex-husband and do a little shopping. Even the days when he has the kids, we make sure and have that time together. He needs my support right now (he's madly in love with a married woman) and I am his "wing man" in the situation. We laugh a lot and it's totally friendship - nothing more. Our marriage was the same thing, but that's for another blog... LOL My man is working, so it's not like I'm taking time away from him. :)

So today we decided to go with three other mutual friends to shoot pool and drink beer in a small town nearby called Kapowsin (aka Cow pissin). It's out in the sticks and it's a great small town place with only locals there usually. As we walked in, a guy was walking out. He was handsome, although grubby and looking very "local". As my girlfriend Unity walked in, he said, "Bingo!" and then as my soon to be ex walked in, "Bingo!" again. As our friends Debbie and Taz walked in, he said "Bingo!" loudly two more times. As I came through the door last, he yelled and "BOINGO!" LOL I chuckled as I walked by and he tipped his hat. I thought little of it, but then told Unity that from now on my nickname will be BOINGO!

After a few minutes, this guy came back in and sat at the bar. I went up to order a Pomegranate & Raspberry Michelob Ultra (YUM!!) and he asked if he could buy me a drink. I politely told him that he shouldn't waste his money. He asked why and so I told him that I am happily engaged and that I didn't feel like I should accept his drink. I just couldn't see taking his money when I am not interested or available - maybe I'm a dork...?

He came over as I was shooting pool and said, "I don't want to embarrass you, but I have to tell you that you are absolutely f**king gorgeous".... LMAO LMAO... Obviously the man was drunk or something! He was very sweet though and introduced himself to me. He told me to tell my man that he is a "LUCKY MAN!" LOL I had to chuckle but thanked him for his sweet comment. I'm not used to that kind of attention! He explained that he had been divorced for 3 years and hadn't been with anyone since his marriage ended (I call BS on that one, but anyway...) He asked if I would take his phone number in case it "didn't work out with my man"... LMAO Who paid this guy to make my freaking week?

We had some of their famous pizza and a few beers and it was great fun. We sorta brightened the place up with our loud laughter and jokes. It was a hoot! I of course invited everyone in there to come to the Pheasant Palace for karoake one night and there was one of my regulars there too! Small world!

My point...? It felt good to have that attention from a man. My self-esteem has been in the toilet for a long time and it makes me feel great to know that someone thought I was worthy of that attention and I just wanted to share. :)
