Because I’m shy and all virtuous, I can’t ask a guy out unless I have overwhemlingly convincing evidence – like a brick in the face – he’s interested, so I make sly hints of things to do together, like, “Tom, I need a pedicure. Will you go with me?”
Tom is a 25-year-old brainaic who is taller than me and can make his pecs dance, and I have a crush on him because of the former and not the latter. I know he’s too young and never been married, but I assure you we have a lot in common… like… we’re both big fans of Tété and … err… we’re tall.
“Are you serious?” he writes back. “I’m metro, but not that metro. But… if Jay goes, I’ll go too.”
Jay’s a bit of a natureboy; his kayak is permanently attached to his SUV and yeah, the vehicle interior always smells like a tackle box. His wife is as pathetically wonderful as Jay, and the two of them are poster children for finding happiness on eHarmony.
But Jay will try anything once.
And that’s how I became the meat in the pedicure threesome.

Sometimes, Eileen, reading your blog is like biting into a juicy, ripe Tomato (not from Texas).
The juice squirts everywhere, but it’s so absolutely delicious that I don’t care it’s all over my face, chin, and chest.
Mmmmm…juicy! We sure did miss you Eileen.

Let me get this straight. You’re shy? And you’ll let a MAN YOU FANCY watch you get a pedicure. Either you’re not really shy, or you have gorgeous feet… I’d let a man see almost anything else he wants before I’d let him see my feet naked.

Apiece, well, I have finger toes. Tom joked my toes were so long they could operate a can opener.
But before the pedi, oh seriously, my feet were NAAAASTY. I needed the pedi badly, but I still look at my feet and think how pretty my toes look!
