What can YOU say in six sentences?
Phyllis & Adonis
The men from Lily Frog are here to install a cedar playset to keep my children occupied this summer. They arrived as promised during the window of 8:00 and 10:00 am, two men I greeted in my almost-like-daywear pajamas assuming they would arrive at the far end of the time window. As I instructed where in the back yard to put the hulking playset - three swings, a slide, climbing wall, club house and picnic table - I never really paid any attention to the men. Then I finally locked eyes with the younger of the two, just briefly to measure comprehension, and was stunned stupid that his face and body were a replica of the lovely had-plenty-of-panties-thrown-at-him Mario Lopez. He sauntered toward the center of the yard in his distressed Levi's, strapped on his manly well-stocked toolbelt and Holy cold shower, Batman! - check out the metal studs and screws, the hard cedar beams and planks, the smile-shaped stairs on the climbing wall! I watched progress through the window often and when work was almost complete I checked myself in the mirror, the unwashed self still in unflattering pajamas, and Holy birth-control-ugly, Batman! - I saw Phyllis Diller.

Phyllis Diller, my ass. ;-)
Sounds like a wonderful way to wake up and greet the world.
Brava, T. I love these sap's-a-rising pieces.

Seems to me you faced a fear with some guts in this one. You ought to, uh, flesh this out and send it out, pictures and all, and see who snatches it up.

You find fun in the smallest events. What a great outlook.
Just today the nice-looking, young male technician who was doing my echocardiogram asked me,"Do you mind if I move your breast?" How do you answer that one?? I said, "No I don't mind. Move it all you want." When I told my husband he asked if I was going back next week.

Still ovulating, I see. Something about the phrase "stunned stupid" was just phenomenal to me. You're a riot, T.
