Matt-Man, De-Funkified!!

If you read my post from yesterday, you know that I was in a bit of a funk…Okay, a major funk.

But, I am in a much better mood now.

I appreciated everybody’s comments, and especially the emails that some of you took the time to write.

Thanks.

In addition to those things, here is what picked my spirits up yesterday…

I had to work all day yesterday at the Drive-Thru. It was hot. It was busy, but I didn’t mind it so much, because these things happened…

An old friend, Alan, who I worked with some ten years ago came in. He always makes me laugh.

He invited Schmoop and I over to visit him and his wife and swim in their pool. Sorry Schmoop, but if I accidentally swim between Alan’s wife’s legs a couple of times, it would be a mere “coincident”.

An old girlfriend Sherri, whom I have now known for nearly thirty years (yes, it’s been that long, Sherri) came through not once, but twice.

And here’s why…

The first time through she just came by to say “hi”. Her and I were talking, and her cell phone went off. She answered it. Jokingly, I said, “That’s rude.”

After a brief conversation, she left.

She came back about ten minutes later, and apologized for having her cell phone on while talking to me.

How often does a person take the time to do that?

She’s a sweet woman, and I wish she would comment today (ahem), but she won’t.

That‘s okay, to this day, after all of this time, I find her adorable.

My son and the ex came through as well. She came by to pick up her weekly, “no longer married now” cash dividend. But that’s fine, because I asked her to.

She knows how much I hate it when people come to the Drive-Thru and are on their cell phone when ordering.

So, she pretended to be talking on her phone. It made Ryno laugh, and that always makes me laugh.

At roughly five-thirty or six, the phone rang at work.

On the other end was Bill, my co-worker. He is a guy who works days and he is also a sales rep for the Legal Service link that appears ON MY LEFT SIDEBAR…

Anyhoo, In the grand scheme of things, I barely know him. I have talked to him ten to fifteen minutes every day for the past two months, as I come on and he goes off.

He’s working on opening his own pizza place. Yesterday, he called me and said,

“You are probably busy. I need to stop by for some smokes. I am cooking burgers (for the family). Would you like me to make one for you and bring it by?”

WTF? If more people were like that, the world would be a much better place. A big Bagwine Shout Out to Bill. And his wife, because she always wears one of my shirts.

Lastly, when I got home last night, Schmoop, who likes to go to bed early on Sundays, got up and had a few beers with me.

She read my post from yesterday…

We had a ninety minute chat that was, well, to use an overly-used, vaguely descriptive, yet in this case a totally appropriate word…"nice."

Life is good again, and thanks, to all of you.

A new segment for this week only…

Dana, who has a massive blog crush on me (and really, can ya blame her?) is in San Antonio all week with her family, and yes the HUSBAND is there.

So, in order to keep in touch with her and not step on any familial frolicking, I thought I would give her a shout out in code all week.

Dana, here’s the first of many…

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, of my crotch. Watch out for the roosters, and be careful whilst oiling up your epiglottis.

Don’t worry. ..She knows what it means.

I am working 10 A.M-5 P.M today, so I won’t be able to comment back to you as usual, but have a great day!!

Cheers!!
