A little while later I get call on my cell from guy who I am kinda friends with but it's more like he's a friend of a friend. I saw him at the fundraiser last night and we had talked about going out for a beer sometime. Anyways, he tells me that he had no idea that I'd been divorced and he hoped everything was ok with me. I told him it had been 3 years ago and I'm fine. After some small talk he says that he wants to set me up with a girl he works with who is single and really nice and he thinks that she and I would really hit it off. Apparently she was at the fundraiser last night and asked about me but she never spoke to me and I don't remember seeing her based on his discription of her. He tells me her name and says that she grew up in the next town over from me but she now lives in my town. When he told me that she was 36 I said something like "yikes, she's old" and he said "wait, aren't you 36?" Oh yeah, I guess I am. So he tells me that he is going out with a few friends tonight and that she is going out with all them as well and that I should go too. I told him I'd think about it and to call me later with more details.
About ten minutes later the female co-worker who was there last night trying to set me up with the hygenist calls me and says she now has the perfect girl for me: the same girl that the other guy just called me about 10 minutes ago. My co-worker went on and on about how nice this girl is and how she just got out of a relationship and this would really be perfect. I told her there was a chance I might see this girl tonight and we'll see what happens.
Whoa... talk about a strange twist in this story.So tonight, instead of going out and meeting this 36 year old or going out with co-worker that wants to get and bang, I decided to stay home and watch a movie and stuff with the 22 YO. When she got here, she what was up with the stuff that someone wrote on my FB wall. The sister of the guy that wanted to set me up with the 36 year old wrote on my wall asking why I was home tonight and the female co-worker that also wants me to go out with the 36 year old also asked the same question. They both knew that I could've gone out with her tonight. I hadn't replied to them. Since the 22 YO has a boyfriend I had no problem telling her that what they wrote was about how they wanted to set me up with some girl and that I could've gone out with her tonight. She asked who the girl was and I said I didn't know her, 22 YO seemed a little upset about this and I reminded her that I'm not the one with a boyfriend. She laughed and said "I know, I'm sorry, I just got this sick feeling in my stomach picturing you going out on a date with someone. I won't do it again." I made some joke about promising not to date other girls if she promised to break up with her boyfriend. Then I get a text from my female co-worker who wants me to go out with the 36 year old and the text says: "hey, why didn't you go out with Gina tonight? I really think you and her would hit it off, she's really cute and lets face it, you could probably use the action, lol" I showed the 22 YO the text and we both laughed at the part about how I "could probably use the action" and 22 YO said something like "yeah if only she knew how much action you've been getting" Then 22 YO got this weird look on her face and asked what Gina's last name was and I told her what it was and the 22 YO turned completely white. She then told me that this 36 year old named Gina is
HER COUSIN!! Wow, talk about a small freakin world. I could only imagine what could've happened if I had gone out with the 36 year old tonight not knowing who she was and finding out down the road that they were cousins at some family get-together or something. You know you live in a small town when the 36 year old girl that your buddy tries to set you up with is actually cousins with the 22 YO that you've been secretly banging for 2 months. What are the chances? Yikes!!!!

I was seriously hoping that Stryker was gonna by my secret Santa and that I was going to get one of those shirts. I would've worn it proudly and enjoyed all of my friends and family asking who the hell MK was.
I don't like either of these teams much but maybe have never been so excited that I get to watch a Super Bowl.
