Life is Hee-LARRY-ous!

Isn't it funny how life teaches you little lessons each day?  Just when you think you have a "type" that you're looking for, you're wrong.  The only thing in life that has a for sure type is blood.  The rest of us just may be surprised who we end up being attracted to.   

So, I'm in my hometown visiting my mom who is recovering from an illness and I make plans to go out with some of my wonderful friends from home (seriously, best peeps on the planet.)  

We attend a party and then decide to finish up the night at the local bowling alley bar.  As we walk in, my friends grab a table and I go up to the bar to order a cocktail.  Sitting there is my soon-to-be new friend LARRY.

He is an older, attractive gentleman who invites me to sit down and chat with him.  I tell my friends that I'll be over in a minute and Larry and I begin to have a kumbaya moment.

He tells me that he's visiting his sister and is from Indiana, a retired CEO of some kind of manufacturing business.  He then tells me that he's 68.  Wow... really?  Come on now, people... I'm usually the cougar, but on this night I am definitely the cub.

He's very charming and begins to give me lots of nice compliments about my hair and how I dress.  So, ya'know I'm a bit smitten now with this silver tongued, silver haired gent.  He then proceeds to tell me that I remind him so much of his third wife, whom he married twice.  Allrighty then...

He asks for my number, which I give him because as I told my friends later... after they wadded up and threw wet bar napkins at me from across the room all night... I would definitely go out to dinner with him once.

He'll probably never call and that's okay... but as I sat down to TYPE this entry into the blog I realized what an interesting lesson I had learned about what I think I want in a guy looks-wise and that just may be all wrong for me.  So, from now on I'm going to open my eyes a little wider and look at my choices differently.   

You just never know when another Hee-LARRY-ous moment is on the horizon and I don't want to miss that opportunity!
