Friend: [she is very LOUD and ANIMATED] "Oh MY GOD, I met the PERFECT guy for you today!"
Me: "Oh boy.....here we go!"
Friend: "Ok, so he's in your age range, he's the VP of an Internet company, he plays golf AND he fishes! He EVEN goes to the same driving range as you!
[I flash her my skeptical but intrigued look where my left eyebrow goes slightly raised while my lips involuntarily pout and smoosh to one side. Sort of like my blog picture at the top of this entry......but I gotta give her props for bringing something juicy to the table]
Me: "I'm listening...."
Friend: "So I'm immediately thinking of you and I ask about his situation!"
Me: "Situation...what's his situation?"
Friend: "He is divorced but TOTALLY ready for a new relationship.."
Me: "Go on...."
Friend: "So I asked if he has any children..."
Me: "And?"
Friend: "No kids BUT, you're not gonna BeeLIEVE this! He and his ex owned 2 pugs together..."
Me: "Really?"
Friend: "Yeah and get this! As part of the divorce settlement he insisted on joint custody of the pugs so he goes to pick them up and keeps them a couple days a week..."
Me: "That's awesome!"
Friend: "I KNOW! [Laughter] "
Me: "What does he look like?"
Friend: "He's a good looking guy Lori!"
Me: "Is he short?"
Friend: "No he's tall!"
Me: "Is he bald?"
Friend: "No, he has a thick head of dark hair!"
Me: "Is he fat?"
Friend: "No! (laughter and rolling back in her chair)"
Me: "Is he too thin or does he have some meat on his bones??"
Friend: "No, he's built and stocky like a football player!"
Me: "That's just how I like them..."
Friend: "I KNOW!"
Then her voice dropped a few decibles...
Friend: "There's just one little thing..... "
Me: "Oh here it comes! I knew it was too good to be true..."
Friend: [Silent pause with cautious grin, holding fingers to her mouth like she is going to start biting nails]
Me: "What is it??"
Friend: "He might not be hairy enough for you."
I love that my friends know me so well.

Lori,
He sounds like a good fit for you. Give it a shot. I am sure he is hairy enough in all the right places... What else do you have to lose? Its time to get out there! And Pugs to boot!!!!

go for it! It's hard to find a guy that loves dogs as much as you do. I got lucky!

A wookie is one of those little small furry critters on one of the Star Wars movies. Cute! Good luck with your new dude!
