Pucker up Baby and Please Take me Home with You!

I had lunch at Costco today. Things have been a little rough for me of late. But today, the jaw felt fine, I have been soooo hungry with the jaw thingee and the inability to eat more than soup or noodle based food that I just felt like overeating on crappy food. That, and I find it fascinating to watch the hoards of people going through Costco, what they buy, what they look like, what they wear and as I do that I just wonder about America, and who votes and get feedback as to why we have TeaParty assholes in this world. But hey that is just like my opinion man.

The lunch tables were crowded and I really dreaded the thought of not getting a seat or getting a seat next to someone I would really dread sitting next to.

But I got lucky, and almost got lucky, wink wink.

A delightful, elegant 83 year old woman pulled her cart next to where I was sitting, commanded me (!) to save her a spot and then left to load her hot dog up with onions, mustard and relish. Yeah, try to just picture that; and elegant 83 year old woman loading up a Costco dog with mustard, onions and relish and then sitting across from me and eating it.

Her cart was moderately full, and I noticed DiGiorno frozen pizza's in her cart! She was on her lunch break from work, and was then headed to Alki to meet a friend and have a joint (pardon the pun) chiropractic session with a friend.

So now this woman is close as can be to being my new hero. She is elegant, she eats hot dogs and apparently has a thing for frozen pizza, she still works and she is headed to Alki for the afternoon.

We talked about 911 (apparently there was another bomb scare in NY today), we talked about health care, we talked about her hope that she hadn't forgot anything at Costco because she had forgotten her list. SHE ATE HER HOT DOG FASTER THAN ME, which is saying a lot if you are still picturing an elegant 83 year old woman; but in my defense as a horrible chow hound, I am still somewhat limited by my jaw condition. None the less, her attack on the hot dog could only be described as hearty, manly and brazen.

As she left I helped her up (she has some mobility issues with her knees) and placed her cart in front of her. After getting her situated I told her that I was going to have to keep it on the down low that I had had lunch with such an attractive woman who was obviously hitting on me and trying to lure me to spend the afternoon with her at Alki. She calmly said that she wouldn't tell on me and that the offer still stood! I wanted to kiss her right then and there, and I should have, but did not.

It sure made my day!
