I'm Perfect

I went to the casino (I won yay!) and I had to share what transpired there. I was standing in the middle of the casino floor when I saw this man walking towards me with his head down. He looked up and stopped dead in his tracks and said somewhat under his breath "oh my God you're perfect!" Ok folks, Daphnewood is 35, short, fat and was not primped at all at this time. I said to the man in a very confused tone "excuse me, what did you say?" He sort of shook his head like his brain was working again and said loudly "I SAID YOU ARE PERFECT" All I could think was this guy had to be drunk or blind or both. I just blushed really red (hating myself for such weakness) and said a polite 'thank you' to the man then ran away. It has been a long while since I affected a man like that based on appearance only. I am still astounded at how he reacted. I figure he has to be a boob man. I did have my hands in my back pockets so no arms to hide my chest. I have had drunk, old guys hitting on me since I could walk but this guy was young and really sweet and kept walking by my machine I was playing. I could tell he wanted to talk to me. I figured I better put him out of his misery and made sure my hand, complete with wedding band, was visible. Once he saw I was married his walk-by trips stopped. Still, it was really funny to see my husband's face when I told him "hey babe, I was lucky at the casino and almost got lucky too!"

Isn't that nice when that happens? Seems the older (and grosser) I get, the less it happens. I used to live for such things, but I still try to adjust to living without them. Gawd, am i shallow or what? Like i've said before, what does the beauty queen do when beauty fades....if it were me, I'd be tempted to commit suicide.

I hope he didn't mean, "Oh my god, you're perfect...for me to make human meatloaf!" or something else bizarre.

I'm sure he was just talkin' 'bout how cute you are, though :)

As jayleigh said, you actually are perfect. Tall, thin and primped are highly overrated.

I agree with kim and jayleigh-

We're not fat, Daphne, we're Renaissance Skinny!!

Sungroove! I LOVE THAT! Renaissance Skinny. Someone should put that on a tee shirt or something. hehe

oh you are all so sweet. I wasn't looking for affirmation but after re-reading this post I can see how I certainly encouraged you all to hail my perfection;-) Thanks again and I am sure we can start our own "Perfect Club" as you are ALL perfect to me.

Spencer, I just have to say that if you starting liking girls, my husband wouldn't let us hang together. And I like you too much just the way you are. Smooches, sexy.
