Cougarlicious

Story first. Then the moral. 

So, as you may or may not know, I have officially been "off the market" for 4 months now. This is wild and crazy times in the life of Skyler Coleman. Well, yesterday (post-shooting range) I got my first taste of what it must be like to be a cougar. Clif is really good fishing buddies with this beautiful man named Mason. Mason is a linebacker at Navy (I creepy sent you his roster pic in the fall) and now its not even like that at all. BUT he rents an apartment with like 6 other teammates and we stopped by on Saturday. We were in the parking lot and I talked to his friend Garret for a few minutes while Clif talked to some of the other guys. Garret was only 1 of 2 guys out of 8 that I didn't know. AND HE HIT ON ME!!!  Then I realized I hadn't been hit on in probably 4 months! And now I have a soft spot in my heart for those cougars who go 4 YEARS or hell, 20 years without any male attention aside from their husband. Needless to say, it put a little spring in my step, gave me an awesome confidence boost and I just stood a little taller all day today. But seriously, I was half way in the truck, and he came running (ok hop/skip/jump/jog) over and said,

"It was really nice to meet you Skyler - awkward head tilt smile - bring it in" 

and we hugged. But it was NOT a "you're my friend's gf hug" - it was a "you're a real cool girl and have a nice ass" hug AND he smelled the back of my neck! Granted I was wearing perfume and smelled real delicious.

Dear Abby,

 What I wanted to say is, I hope that you also come across a male or 2 or 87 in your day-to-day activities who makes you remember how awesome you really are, that you are not just a piece of meat, or a nice ass to honk at, but you are a beautiful, loveable lady, and someone worth woo-ing. If you ever find yourself in a position where you are a cougar, it will be because you chose to be one. Because any man who is stupid enough to let you go, or get in a trivial argument with you and not cherish ever single car ride with you, doesn't know who he's dating. And he better take better care of my best friend! I wish I had told Joe to 

"make everyday better than the one before or I'd chop off his favorite man parts."  

Best threat from a best friend ever. Ever. Hands down.

See.. this was entirely too long to text and too long a wait for snail mail.
I.LOVE.YOU.143.
