Boys to Men

I've been home sick from work ALL WEEK. It's miserable.

After taking Aldo to the vet on Friday (and getting some good news) I wanted to call my co-worker who sent me a couple of e-mails this week to check on me. He is the NICEST guy in the world. I think of him as my peer, but really he has kids a few years younger than I am and GRANDKIDS too. So he's my peer, but also a grandpa! He's still probably 15-20 years younger than my dad though...

So I crank called him at work (asking for a program that has a similar phone # to his) and he was about to give me the right number when I busted out laughing and identified myself.

We started out talking about Aldo's appointment, and somehow the call deteriorated to my being single. Funny how that happens!

My friend, co-worker, and experienced older man told me that I need to quit looking for boys. Confused, I asked him if he was suggesting that I switch teams. Lesbianism does have certain perks.... No, he told me. I need to be looking to meet MEN. Not boys, MEN. He said it's a different mindset, and different level of responsibility, etc...

I told him if he knows any good men to point them in my direction. He funnily said, "If I find a good man, I'm keeping him for myself!" Good times!
