Day 242: Surprising turn of events

As I was walking into Starbucks this morning for a little jolt of caffeine, I saw a few other people walking in at the same time.

Of course my competitive nature kicked in and I started walking a little faster in hopes of getting in front of them in line.

Then I looked over and saw a tall thin blonde in a black mini dress and stilettos. It was clear she was going to beat me inside, so I gave up the race admitting defeat.

But I ended up behind her in line. I'm secure enough to stand next to any leggy blonde, but today I was starting to feel like a midget.

I was wearing 3 inch heels and I only came up to her armpits! Seriously? How tall was she? She must have been close to 7 foot tall with her heels, and good for her.

I could see the guys checking her out, and rightfully so. I was however was sporting a dressed up wife beater, jeans, and my heels, to add to my feelings of frumpiness.

But I brushed it off, ordered my coffee and went on my way.

Once again, some cool things are happening because of the job. One of the guests on the show today is a photographer, and one of his pictures was used on the CD cover of a Jimmy Buffett album.

I knew that leading up to him being on the show, but I guess I just thought Jimmy saw it and wanted to use it and contacted him, but evidently I was wrong.

When I heard he had arrived, I went in to say 'hi' and let him know how cool it was that his photo was on the CD.

He asked if I was a fan, I said 'oh yeah, big fan. I flew to the Caribbean to see him in concert...' before I could finish the statement, he cut me off and said 'Anguilla? Yeah I was there too!' How cool!

I think my heart skipped a beat, because at one point when I was getting a tarot card reading the woman told me I would be with someone who loves the same music.

Of course I'm still within the 61 day prediction from the tea leaf reader, so I had a brief moment of 'holy crap! is this it?!' (like it would be that easy... if it was I would totally freak out)

By the time the heart got back on track he mentioned he was at the concet with his girlfriend... who is now his wife, (whew) I could breathe again, and everything was back on track.

We kept talking about the concert sharing stories, and he proceeded to tell me how cool and nice Jimmy is, and then showed me a few pictures from the trip where the CD cover was shot.

I was dumbfounded. I think he even said Jimmy called or texted him! I can't believe I was one degree of seperation away.

I've always said I will meet him someday, and with each chance encounter I have I feel like I'm getting closer and closer. Today it felt like inches, and in some way I think Mr. Wonderful may be playing a part in it from up above.

Once I finally calmed down over my brush with greatness, it was time to get back to work.

In the middle of the afternoon I got a call from the Cheerleader's matchmaker.

She gave me a quick rundown of how it all works, and then said she was going to send me a questionnaire to fill out... perfect!

It's a pretty extensive questionnaire, and that's good. It needs to be for her to find the proper people to put together.

The problem is, I don't have the energy to dig deep within myself for the answers to some of these questions (especially when I'm whacked out on cold medicine), and there's no 'save for later' button on it.

So I must finish. 10 most important attributes in myself, and the person I want to be with.... 3 primary goals for my life.

I can't even commit on a permanent place to put a sticker, let alone decide what the 3 goals of my life would be! They could change in 2 years, how can you know?

I guess it's all relative to where I am in my life, and that's what I need to remember, not to mention these opportunities don't come around very often so it's time to take advantage of them.
