Four years ago I met a girl at our pool  (we have a fabulous pool that we’ve gotten a membership to for years).  She was a SAHM like myself, had a daughter similar in age to LM and a slightly older son with down syndrome.  She was…unique.  Think, Shane from The L Word (which if you recall I’ve lusted after hardcore for years), with bleached blond hair.  Tiny but quite obviously worked out.  And tattoo’d.  She had numerous, awesome bits of ink.

From the moment I saw her I’ve been intrigued.  It took a couple weeks for me to introduce myself and begin talking with her.  (seriously if pools would just allow alcohol we’d all have so much more fun, or at least I would!) Once I did, we became fabulous friends.  Saving chairs for one another, the best ‘spot’ on the lawn, looking forward to each others company.  I anticipated our interludes, which were never with much privacy.  I mean, we each (at the time) had three year old’s.

I admit. I developed a huge crush.  The year came to an end.  I hadn’t seen her since.  Then.  Guess who showed up at the pool last week.  And happened to sit next to us.  Her.  She’s changed a bit.  I don’t think she works out as much.  Has a slightly different hair cut.  She seems pre-occupied and worn out.  But.  All of that aside.  The minute I saw her, it didn’t change the immediate butterflies…….  The smile that met hers when she looked my way and we immediately recognized each other.

Crushing……

So.  I was watching The Real L Word and PC unfortunately for him, happened to watch it with me.  With in 10min he informed me I was like this one girl.  Who is a total player.

Wha?!  ME???  A player????  I thrive on stability!  Relationships!

And he explains to me how and why I’m just like this Whitney girl, who oh so totally is a player.

Fuck.

He’s right.
