I also recall attending one with a guy who made my heart beat a little faster. ;-) That said, I will admit I'm more of a pub girl at heart -- much prefer the casual meal, the casual clothes...and the casual banter. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-25028649586515882932015-04-26T21:48:44.936+10:002015-04-26T21:48:44.936+10:00Hi Nobody.

There was a guy I liked. He was too heavy; I was too skinny. I kept thinking that if you cut us in half while we slow danced, we'd both be the right size. Today, over forty years later, I am heavy and he is skinny. Amazing.Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.com
