I just got picked up in a bodega.

Okay readers, I have to tell you. I NEVER get hit on. Like, never-ever. (That time in the grocery store did NOT count.) I mean, you've seen photos... I don't think I'm horrible to look at... And lots of you leave nice comments, so I can't be a total loss, right?

Well, I was just in the block bodega buying a thin brown sharpie to use on my new peach and brown Kate Spade thank you notes. A few firemen walk in and one of them looks at me and says, "I'll buy whatever lotto ticket she's buying. She looks lucky." So I tell him that I'm sorry to disappoint him, but I'm just there for the pen. He buys a scratch-off and has me stay to scratch it off. Of course I didn't win crap. So I apologize for being unlucky and he says that it's fine and that he'd love to buy me a drink sometime. I gave him my number and he said, "Maybe we'll have better luck next time!"

I mean, come on. That's cute.

And so was he!

that was too cute! and if you can actually write with sharpies (cause I can't, not to mention my handwriting is the worst anyway) thats even cooler!

That is cute! I am glad you have had better experiences that I have been hit on recently!

That is totally cute!
I've never been hit on (stared at yes, but never spoken to)...and it's probably a good thing. If had someone say something like that to me, I'd probably start laughing. LOL.
Have fun!!
