Yesterday I had to venture into PetSmart to grab some food for Mark . . . I mean Lola. I haven't been in the cat room in a while so I decided to drop by. After a few other people left, I went in and socialized with all these precious, yet sick cats. They all accept for two looked like they were all coming down with Feline Upper Respiratory. They were all cute just the same. After I had been in there a minute, a nice woman and her husband walked in. She asked me if I knew a lot about cats and well, yes I do. I have two of my own, worked in a veterinarians office and have done my best to become familiar with them by any sort of reading. Needless to say I know a ton about them. She made me stay in the room so I could interact with a few of the cats so she knew which would be best for her son. The couple had decided they wanted to surprise their 29 year old son with a precious furry something for companionship. Apparently he was recently in a motorcycle accident and they felt he needed a friend.
As I was sitting there petting a few of the animals, still sweating from running, my hair every where and my face bright red, she blurts out "If your single, my son is pretty cute." I was actually quite starteld, told her I was flattered that she thought I was cute seeing the way I looked, but I was married. I actually thought it was funny and then I had a sudden thought. I know it totally doesn't matter at all, because Mark is a hotty po-totty, but I wondered if looking at me she thought that I was just good enough. I mean, what does her son look like? Am I sort of ugly? Is he sort of ugly? It kind of made me drop my self-esteem a bit. All in all it really doesn't matter, but I would like to know what cute is to her. Some people are just out of your league or just don't fit with you. I mean Mark and Angelina Jolie? I don't think so. Me and Matthew McConaughey . . . actually, there's a chance there. Wether someone comes up and asks you a question like that or you see someone hot on TV, you are always going to wonder if you are an "out of leager" of just something to be satisfied with, even when you have Mr. or Mrs. Right. It's intimidating.
