Are you hitting on me? What’s wrong with you?
Isabelle and I just got back from a run to Walmart and I am in a state of shock.
I got a look, several of them in fact. I used to get a lot of them when I was younger but then they just made me nervous, attention was not and is not something I ever wanted. But I do have to say now that I’m reminiscing I made a guy hit a tree… I was getting something from my car so my butt was sticking out the car door in the air. (yes I was wearing pants!)Luckily he was entering a credit union drive through and not going fast. I must say that was flattering, mostly because I could make a quick get away and didn’t have to talk or see the guy. Ah youth.
Okay that was a bit off the subject, back to the look. After eleven years of marriage and three children it took me a couple moments to even realize what it was and then it played out like a bad commercial.
I noticed a very hot young latin guy in his hard body twenties, smiling at me. So I gave him my vague generic smile that I give everyone and glanced away. Then I hear a “How You doin”…No joke… I looked up and there he is smiling at me. I looked over my shoulder and back at him and responded so smoothly “Me?” If it weren’t happening to me I would have laughed.
He said “Yeah, How’s your day going?” and I said “I’m doing well, how about yourself?” As I’m asking this I can feel the look on my face. My look was saying: What the heck is wrong with you that your checking me out? I mean come on. I’m no Heidi Clume and I’m in my uniform of a pullover sweatshirt jacket and baggy cotton pants with a baseball hat shoved over my greasy hair. I most likely smell like puke and other nasty things… There had to be something wrong with him. If I was a guy and I saw me I’d be running, not walking the other way.
Well, I finished my transaction and get this he said “If you wait a minute I can help you to your car?” I’ve got diaper cream in a bag and my daughter pulling on me begging for her candy. I said something like “I’ve got it thanks.” and sprinted for the door. I barely remember the drive home, I was in shock.
I’ve gone over this in my head and he was a customer. My sleep deprived mind did not mistake a clerk or bagger for someone putting the moves on me…clerks don’t carry out at Walmart and they don’t have baggers.
What I have decided is that this young guy saw me and how pathetic I was and decided to give me a thrill, maybe it was his version of charity? That must be it. It worked and I hope he didn’t get the impression I thought he was a leper or deranged. Although he may have been deranged…
Okay I need to ask Ben to start grabbing my butt more and giving me dirty looks around the house so I won’t be this shocked and pathetic when this happens again in another eleven years!
I think I’m going to go take a shower and try to make myself worthy of a look. If I scrub really hard I can probably get the smell off. I get to go out with the girls tonight. Okay, the girls consist of my Mom, my friend Kim and her husband, who isn’t a girl but he doesn’t have to know I called him that.
I know I’m pathetic.
***************************EDIT*********************************
Well, I just got back from my night out and what fun it was. I forgot how fun a bar full of kar-re-okee singers can be. Everyone is there for a good time and it shows. It was a contest tonight and my friend Angie who sang the best version of Etta James’s At Last, that I have ever heard other then Etta’s should have won, but they chose a girl who was flashing her boobs and wearing a belly shirt…
The closest I came to being hit on was when My friend Kim leaned over and said “Ang, you are so beautiful, your personality just shines through your smile.” That is quite a compliment and I’ll take it. The fact that she was working on her third Long Island Ice tea shouldn’t matter right?
Well, I just consumed about 100oz of Mt.Dew and I smell like a cigarette so it’s in the shower for me to
destinck-afy so that Ben will let me in bed. Hope you all had an evening that was at least half as fun as mine. Ang

Maybe he thinks you’ll clean up nice.
Guys don’t always look at the ones who give the appearance of stepping out of a fashion magazine or beer commercial. Stop being so hard on yourself. It’s not healthy.
That is SO awesome. It throws me for a loop too when it happens… as rare as it is. I say, enojy it ’cause goodness only knows when it’ll happen again. I’ve got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Ben has read this and wants me to make sure and tell you all that he does grab my butt and give me lots of dirty looks.
Ang
Appreciate the looks, but don’t let a stranger walk you to your car
^^^ What you think he was a mugger?! Can’t I just enjoy my afterglow. For the record I’m blonde, but not truly stupid! Ang
Um. They also don’t realize this is Traverse City Michigan that has NEVER had a murder or kidnapping………. Seriously, look it up people. No crime. The place is heaven.
Don’t be so hard on yourself you are one sexy bitch.
He was probably just admiring the view. And I agree with BB61, I am not the guy who looks at the supermodel types in the first place. The dressed -down, all in sweats is more my style too. Luckily, Shirlann “fits my bill” to a t, but enjoy the attention! not all guys are pigs 24 hours a day!
I am aperson too that doesn’t do well with attracting attention. I get VERY self conscious. I was walking out of a gas station, oblivious to the people around me one evening. My brother, Donny, was in my van and when I got in there I noticed he was laughing. I asked him what the heck he was laughing about. He said that a guy in a truck I walked by smacked the guy he was with and pointed to me. I said yeah, so? He was still laughing and said they were checking me and my butt out. I was in disbelief! I said no way! I have had three kids, my butt does not need checking out! lol I could also feel the heat creeping up my neck and most likely turned quite red! Good thing it was getting dark or I would have been teased for blushing.
flattering!
i’m sure it’s just a case of –>> you’re hot no matter what you wear <<– kind of thing
Enjoy those looks girly!!! Dropping by your site…love this post!!!
Oh yeah. I did check out your photos like you said to; Max and Yugi do look a lot alike! Have a good evening! Going to load the kids stuff into the van and hit the road to meet my mother-in-law!
What fun! Enjoy it!
And how come it always happens when we look and feel like crap. Or my teenage daughter likes to point it out and laugh like they must be crazy.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SPELL KAREOKEE AND THE SPELL CHECK ISN’T PICKING IT UP SO I AM GOING TO BED. ANG
what did you sing at the kareokee bar, or if you didnt sing it but wanted to but were’nt drunk enough, that is, what song would that be? i really wanna know, i love kareokee…
Oh Ang – Congrats on the “look” – I thought I was getting the look once but, it appeared the guy had a bad case of gastitus
—> anywho girls night out in a smokey bar with free will singing – ya gotta love that – LONG ISLAND TEA 
yUmMy —> Have a great night!
ryc – dang! i forgot to throw a beard on the one chick! tee heehee!
When strangers come up to me to ask me for money, that makes me feel good, because it means that I look good enough to have it.
darn, you should try shopping cart races…heheh
Now that is a cool post,always feels so good to be noticed and admired a little by a member of the opposite sex. It is a fact though that some women have the unknown IT factor that drives men a little crazy even when they are at Wal-mart with their little ones.
That used to happen to me once in a while about 30 years ago, one of the downsides of being on the South side of 60, missing those momentary sexual interludes.
Got to quit, getting in way over my head here.
See Ya.
I think he was maybe interested in you. hehe. Don’t think that it was charity, people just seldom do charity like that
RYC No doubt Ben will be doing just that.
RYC: I am certain Ben thinks you are as hot now as ever, just like I do with Shirlann! Karaoke is such a blast, I love going to people watch. I even get up and sing once in a while. I do a mean Fred Schneider (B-52s) “Love Shack” – there is a long story behind it that I will share some other time. The only downside is all the smoke in the bars – I hate smelling like an ashtray. Glad you had a super time!
Sounds like you had a good girls night out. Take any compliment you can get. ;-p
haha, work it lady.
LOL…Go Hot Mama! You still got it babe, with greasy hair and a kid tugging on your shirt…WOOT! WOOT!
RYC: Yeah it was NUTSO last night. Glad it went off OK. Little guys were pissed off becasue they couldn’t go to the Tournament, but I think they will have plenty of other opportunities. I dread the thought of taking the baby to one…there was TONS of down time. I hope to get the video up to share. I bet there is a Fencing League in your area, just migt not be through the school system. Try this site to see if there is anything in your area: http://www.usfencing.org/
Have a great day !

I AM FAT AND STILL THE “hot young latin guy in his hard body twenties” HITTING ON ME!
thanks for all your concern! it was no suicide attempt!!! haha, but thanks all the same. i should totally buy some sort of mace necklace.
Not you ,me silly,I said I am fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryc Now you have really made my day with those nice things you said
You at the top of my hero list now for sure.
See Ya
Isn’t it nice to get hit on every once in a while? I think that says something about your looks, even if you are dressed down and smelling of kids.
I know what you mean by charity work, too! lol!
I bet that hot Latin stud hits on all the married moms at Wal-Mart and Target, and takes home quite a few to cheat on thier husbands with. Think that’s his game?
Good story…
Cheers!
Aw, getting checked out is such an ego booster. At least I think it is– it’s been a while for me. LOL Glad you had a fun night out!
lol
lol, loved this post. Just popping by at random, but wanted to say that I love your sense of humor, and I know just how you feel… isn’t it hard to feel sexy or even worthy of “the look” when you’re wife, and taxi service, mommy and domestic goddess? I SO forget that I’ve got breasts…. nice ones…. and not just a shelf to catch all, to nuzzle the babies against, etc. Work it girl, you deserve it!
