Some guys are really and truly oblivious!

I was out shopping with my mum and hubby recently when a (pretty nice looking) male sales assistant started flirting with me - and not because he was trying to sell anything either. The way he looked at me and tried to get me talking made me very flushed indeed. It's not like that happens very often!

My Mum was totally switched on to the fact that the guy had been flirting but hubby was clueless and hadn't noticed! Typical!

I wouldn't ever dream of acting on anything but I do admit that the flirting incident did bolster my confidence somewhat! It's always nice to feel noticed

And do you know something - it never ends!

I am an oldie, and it still happens. Yes, it still gives me a 'lift'.

Somehow, my hubby always notices.

Preach it, Sista!! Not to gang up on poor Tom, but... I see this in Chris, too. I can plainly tell that a woman is coming on to him, and he is completely oblivious. Drives me insane. I think it's a common trait.
My lady gets ticked all the time when she thinks another woman is flirting with me. I think she wants me to instantly recognize the actions for what they are, and quickly put a stop to them. I always do, when I realize what is going on ... but honestly, I think she just imagines a lot of it.

Seriously, I'm out of the house all day and NEVER have women hitting on me, but I swear, as soon as I'm out with my lady she seems to think every woman in a passing car is batting her eyes at me.

Sometimes I think she is just joking about it, but even when she is joking I can tell there is a little bit of seriousness behind it all.

I love her to bits, but she is nutty as a loon sometimes lol.

Maybe we men don't notice the flirting because we always assume women's intentions are as honorable as our own.


OK, I'm outta' here before KindleKitten has a chance to see that!

Its amazing to me, as I sit here in my corporate office at 6am, how a multi-million dollar law firm cannot manage to properly heat and cool its own facilty. I am in a scarf and gloves in my own office.

That's exactly what I was thinking - is it really meant to be a goal of 2 books for the year? Or have I missed some joke - because I'm good at that
