Starbuck's Man

I am officially in LOVE. Ok. Maybe not love. Not even like...but OMG. I have a raging crush on this guy that I see at Starbucks. I have become addicted to both him and the coffee there. It is a sad state of affairs. Every morning, I run around like a crazy person...trying to get myself together...shouting at the kids...we have to be at my inlaws by a certain time, or else I don't see him. There are days when the boys are close to leaving the house in their underwear, just so mommy can get her coffee and eye candy. LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy. I know you are wondering more about him...and yes. I do know his name. And yes. We have spoken. How do I know his name? I basically parked next to him...and his ID was hanging from the mirror. I wish I knew where he worked, but really, the mystery is the allure, here. (I am currently ABOVE rummaging thru his glove box. I am sure this status will change...but for now, I will NOT do it.) He drives a blue Durango. He wears jeans and boots to work. He is too clean, though...like he doesn't look dirty, like he works construction. He drinks regular coffee...and last Wed we exchanged our first words. He touched my arm (gasp!) and told me to---are you ready for this??---"have a good day." O M G! Naturally, being witty and quick, I said "you too!" and proceeded to stand there and smile like a goof. Real good. Keep 'em wanting more, that is what I say. I didn't get to see him again until this morning. And. We exchanged word again. Yes. I know I said WORD, not words, because it was only a one word exchange. He said "HEY!" and I smiled. I know I know...coy! That is what you are thinking. This time, I watched the blue durango drive out of the lot and turn right. So. That really means nothing to me...except that he doesn't work somewhere to the left of Starbucks. What is a girl to do? I also think he may be married. It is all good though.
So...stand by for news on the starbucks man. I look for another "word" exchange soon. Wait there, on the edge of your seat.
I am changing the color for the update...because some of you might not be able to pick up the change...not naming names, of course...
So...Starbucks man...It has been 2 long, lonely weeks since I have seen him. I am not quite sure what I am going to do. There has been some talk of mentioning my crush to the actual Starbucks workers, Thanks Maria, and creating a tale of woe...to find out information about him...It is early when I go there...so I would really have to get a good night sleep...and be ON MY GAME...so. I don't see that happening in the near future...simply because I STILL HAVE CUSTODY of these kids. I have, however, began a friendship with the cute little cashier...she kinda remembers my order...so...I am hoping to parlay that into some information...I have to remain patient (I hope you will too...) I just don't know what I am going to do...2 full weeks without even a GLIMPSE of Starbucks man...In my head, our next conversation will go like this: Me, very sexy smile, "Hi there!" Him: Very cute smile "Hi! I have not seen you in a while. Where you away?" Me: still cute smile "I was in New York last week for work." (in my best...I am very important, but trying to sound so casual...voice) Him: "New York? Wow! Did you have a nice trip..." and then there is more small talk...I just can't figure out where I want this to go...on the one hand...I am married...on the other...he is so cute! Do I want to know his name? Really...I mean, technically, I do. It is John. But I don't know anything else...other than the whole, he works to the right of Starbucks and drives a blue durango and wears jeans and work boots to work...I guess I will just wait to see how this little drama plays out...
