ONE OF THOSE THINGS IN LIFE …

Here I am, hanging out with some colleagues;
quite startling as I do not know some of them.
Pitiful! Just shows how superb my networking skills are.
Oh well … I’m learning and improving …

I'm a bit self-conscious
- being the only lady here and black!
Oops! Someone is sensitive!
Okay, I’ll just sip on my ’97 Mondavi Carneros Merlot
and simply have fun … yes!

Can’t really say what the fun is all about
but we appear to be having it;
and I’m not doing badly you know – sitting, talking, laughing,
changing topics – I’m making progress, eh? …

I seem to have been talking with just this guy for like – 45 minutes?
Oops! Time to change – wait a minute! Am I tipsy or what?
He seems mesmerized by something … must be the alcohol …
Okay! Time to change … Wait! Is my blouse too low?
Okay, I can fix that … No! He’s looking into my eyes;
Been doing that all along … Ooh!

Well … I’m yet to recover from that evening …
I admit that I can’t seem to get over him …
Oh my goodness! I’m too old for this! Feels like when …
Steady …

But seriously, does he know how he makes me feel?
Can he sense it each time I call?
Does he like me the way I like him?
There are certain things we never seem to figure out …
