Well...there I was sitting enjoying my wine and excellent salmon when one handsome young gentleman approaches me, looking scared to death, and then to my confusion bends down on one knee. His voice quivering, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, he, now get this, he proposes to me! Claiming that I am most certainly a goddess for I am the most beautiful woman he's ever seen!! Now, I could have told him I bake too, and use nice-smelling laundry detergent, and like a good Corona on a warm day, but I didn't want to tease him before I turned him down by saying, "Honey, I need a little more than a bended knee and a bead of sweat to be impressed enough to accept your gracious offer," and he says, "Well, here's the thing, we ALL want to marry you," and from behind the bushes emerge a group of six more men (one is taking the picture here) and they all bend down on one knee and wait in silence. It was a slightly awkward moment but I cleared my throat and asked, "Where are the seven diamonds?" They looked around at each other and I think one of them mouthed to the other "Diamonds?" and another shook his head as one fumbled through his pockets and finally I just said, "Look, sorry boys but I'm soaring as a free bird right now, but if y'all want to keep me company while I eat I'll buy you a round of soda pop-" and they immediately accepted. So, while I ate I got a back massage and my wine refilled and the corners of my mouth dabbed-at and they sat happily slurping on their sodie pops and I gave them all a kiss on the forehead and bade them farewell as I continued on through my adventure (ego a little inflated by now, I suppose) by taking a nice after-meal stroll. Ah....
