I love sitcoms. Nothing is like the escape that you get from laughing at people in stupid situations. One show that I love is THE PARKERS. Nikki Parker is in love with Professor Oglevee. Unfortunately her amore is unrequited. Many of the episodes have to do with her pursuit of the Professor. Then there is Gilligan's Island... strangers stranded on a deserted island trying to get back to civilization. We all know Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor, Mr and Mrs Howell and Ginger and Mary Anne. Ginger was the obvious hottie while Mary Anne was more understated, but still had it goin' on.
Well if we merge these two shows we have my life right now. As I have said before, it has been ages since I have dated but I still know when a guy is interested. The guy from my church P now has a new name. My friend T calls him the Professor because of the stalker-esque way I go after him and the way he rebuffs me. Anyway, I think that the tide may be turning. A few weeks ago The Professor and I had some one on one time at a church fun fair. We talked and joked alot.We were supposed to be working but everyone left us alone so, we didn't. I really had a good time with him and I think that he had a good time with me as well. Well, after he left he had forgotten a couple of things , like the check to the bounce house vendor that I had contracted and his Mercedes Benz keys. I was a bit peeved because I had to write a personal check to the vendor and as I was telling T about it I said the the wedding was off! That is an inside joke that I said in front of too many outsiders!! As I stomped up the stairs I heard people saying "wedding, what wedding?" I had to come back down and tell everyone that it was a joke! I got some real interesting looks I must say. Well, an elder in my church told me that it just might not be too far from the truth. The professor and I may one day get together. oooookaaayyyy!
I am sure that he has had some people say some thing to him as well because he has been making some "who's your man?" jokes. Of course I've said that he was my man and we have laughed it off. But, today, our conversation was a little different. I can't put my finger on it, but I think that he may really be into me.
Mary Anne is my personality. I love to talk to people and I am always considered the cute (albeit chubby) girl. Most men think of me as their buddy. I am that girl who can talk about football and basketball with the best of them. I have even taken up golf (when it is not too hot out). The church is scheduled to go on this trip to Carowinds at the end of this month. The Professor and I have a date to ride on The Grizzly roller coaster together. I can't wait. I hope that I can get off some of this fat!@!!! before our trip. I can't be walking around with him huffin and puffin!!!
So I think that this may be the beginning of Mary Anne and the Professor... I will keep you updated...
