The poor guy, I wouldn't talk to, or look at, him first couple of times we got together. Of course, friend and I have been very close for a bazillion years now, and the feeling is WAAAAY over but scary. <br /><br />And then a guy I met in the mall one time. Just turned around and there he was, and I was almost knocked to my butt by the pheremones (sp?) .<br /><br />First time I met my hubby, I was instantly attracted...but I thought he was one of those BMOC jerks. He isn't; just looked like one. :) 27 years later!<br /><br />Secret crush besides George Clooney?<br />Scott Glenn.

His nephew - of napping bedroom fame - invited me to see a display of his black-light show in said bedroom. Fortunately the sight of the bag he was packing for the trip back to boarding school frissoffed my frisson. Today he looks like Scout's twin.Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-51762040152542838482012-02-14T15:07:40.644-05:002012-02-14T15:07:40.644-05:00Very serendipitous, I say, John!

Even when I was married to guys who were not lanky, nor did they have dark hair. OR a beard.<br /><br />So, yes, I did a bit of a swoon when I met Donald and then he made me laugh. And he has made me laugh practically every single day since, almost 27 years later. And he still makes me swoon.<br /><br />As far as some of those other little rushes of pure heat, not to be denied - well, is there a soul on God's green earth who is not aware of my crush on Lee Child (me and every other woman who has ever met him - right?!). And he doesn't even have dark hair. OR a beard.

He'd gone to all-male Catholic schools since kindergarten, gone to seminary at 13, took his vows at 15--basically never had an adolescence. I was a divorced mom of 3. He was going through the high school passionate "I love you--I can never see you again--I can't live without you" stuff on a monthly basis. I was an adult emotionally and finally walked away (tearing my heart to shreds as I did it). Best thing I could have done. (Though my kids sometimes still refer to the "mad monk.")<br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day< Reds!Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-50147661074139603552012-02-14T10:22:16.550-05:002012-02-14T10:22:16.550-05:00I told my husband about Julia's dream, and he ...I told my husband about Julia's dream, and he said "really?
