Cheese puffs

What is it with my married friends? Seems like all my guy friends who are married just think it would be so great for me to find a boyfriend. They are on the constant look out. And they scheme (worse than most old biddies, too) to find a way to introduce me to their single friends. The cynic in me wonders if it is to make their wives feel better. Or Maybe they know I'm not so sure I want a boyfriend so their just trying to toment me. The romantic in me says they are happy being married and plain out terrified of being single. So they want to save me from this undesireable marital status I've been thrust into. No matter what, the scheming goes on and I love my friends despite (or maybe because) of it. :)

My married friend (M&M) tried to set up a situation where I would meet this guy he thinks I'd "hit it off with" at his party. Of course being the brillant schemeer, M&M didn't tell either of us before hand. Funny how I found out... M&M's neighbor/friend the flying Italian -Flavio and I ended up sitting next to each other at a table where a few different conversations were happening. After a bit, he said, "AHHH, I was right. You are the infamous, Italian Cheryl." Ahhhh, I wonder what M&M had been discussing about me to Flavio. I've heard the stories about Flavio, so I can only imagine. When M&M approached the table, Flavio asked him where is the dude? M&M said he didn't show. And Flavio said, "he would just be cheese puffs for her any way." I said to Flavio, "you barely know me. Why would you say that?" He said, "I see you enough and know the dude. He would definitely be cheesepuffs for you. I have a better man for you." Of course he wants me to meet the better man in Venice when I go this summer. Ha! Well at least I know what M&M had discussed with Flavio prior to meeting me. As entertaining as his friends were, I would have loved to meet the Dude (aka Cheese puffs). But, alas, it was not to be. Oh well, he would probably turn my fingers orange any way.
