This afternoon I am sitting at a red light on my way to pick up CJ at preschool. My window is down and I’m singing along to Sheryl Crow while enjoying a light breeze and the cozy warmth of the sun.
All I wanna do is have some fun…
I am jolted out of my reverie by a shrill whistle. Then I hear someone yell;
“WOOHOO, hello girl!”
I turn in shocked surprise and find myself staring directly into the wolfish grin of a man leaning out the passenger side of an old van. He is checking me out.
I can’t even remember the last time this happened.
Ok, so actually I can… which is probably even more pathetic.
The van drives on and I sit up straighter. I find that I’m singing with extra enthusiasm and even throwing in a head wobble here and there.
This girl’s still got it. Uh huh Uh huh.
It’s official, I’ve achieved a new low in this journey called life.

We’ll take it any way we can get it, right??
May 8, 2008 at 7:49 pm

You go, girl! This is much better than what thrills me, which is getting carded at the grocery store by a clerk who is younger than me. :)
May 8, 2008 at 9:53 pm

On a positive note, now I know what to yell when I’m lookin fo some…
WOOHOO!!! Hello Girl!

I enjoyed reading some of your blogs “This girls still got it” completely cracked me up.
May 9, 2008 at 6:53 am
Gotta love a compliment! Don’t get me wrong, my husband compliments me, but it’s so not the same. Double bonus when the complimentee is HOT!
May 9, 2008 at 7:55 am
i’m jealous. i’ve NEVER been hit on. EVER.
May 9, 2008 at 7:57 am
I don’t think it’s low; I think it’s a compliment. You, go girl!
May 9, 2008 at 8:31 am
Awwww, yeeaahhh. You go girl.
May 9, 2008 at 8:41 am
That would have made my day too! Glad to hear that you’ve still got it goin’ on.
May 9, 2008 at 8:50 am
Hopefully he was good looking….it’s always nice to get the whistle every now and again.
May 9, 2008 at 11:20 am
Did you do the ‘still got it’ dance?
:D
May 9, 2008 at 11:21 am
whoohoo.
May 9, 2008 at 1:18 pm
That’s not low.
I bow my head in shame while admitting to getting dolled up on occasion to visit the local Home Depot when I’m in need of an Ego boost.
Now THAT’S low!
May 9, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Nothing wrong with a little self validation from a complete stranger. ;)
May 9, 2008 at 3:49 pm
That’s awesome. And so NOT low. We all need some hawtness validation every once in a while!!
May 9, 2008 at 3:59 pm
That is so funny! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on it… I love comments! And I know, this weather is crazy the way it keeps switching from rain to sun. I’ve only lived in the Seattle area a year and a half now, so I’m still getting used to it. Love it though!
May 9, 2008 at 8:13 pm
That’s a high, girl.
May 10, 2008 at 11:58 am
That’s all most as good as being carded-though I haven’t experienced that in a few years, but I always stand at the checkout line hopeful like a puppy.
May 10, 2008 at 1:40 pm
This is great. You’ve still got it! I loved the “wolfish grin” description, by the way.
May 11, 2008 at 7:25 am
Oh, this is not a new low, it’s a new high! Happy Mother’s Day!
May 11, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Bwahhahahahaahah OMG that’s funny!
May 11, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Sometimes, even if the person paying the compliment is smarmy and disgusting, sadly, it’s still an ego booster because SOMEONE noticed that you’re still a woman!
I get it. For sure.

The only guys who check me out anymore are skanky construction workers who look at anything with two legs and boobs.
