Stan: My Spare....
Way back in the Day....
During a new store opening, where I was working; My friend Tammy came to me and said "I found him". Startled by her enthusiasm, I turned, looked around and said "You found who?". A 'bad girl' smile cemented on her face, she slyly replied "The guy I want". Simple. LOL.... Yes well... There was not anything simple about what was to come between Tammy and the "H.G.G" ( Hot Grocery Guy). Over the next few days, Tammy pointed him out here and there, but being in a new store, with literally at least a hundred new employees it was really hard to concentrate on just one...*wink*... regardless of how "hot" he was. 
It wasn't until the following Sunday (I had heard about the HGG every shift, every hour, every minute on the shift) And FINALLY...He had walked over to our side of the store and I was able to get a good look at him. He had come over and asked me for something but I was really oblivious to what it was he had asked for. Quite honestly I was checking him out and thinking..."This guy? This is the guy Tammy had a crush on?" He seemed nice enough and I guess he was cute...But really, not as hot as she had said...Until of course..... He asked me if I had been listening to him..And when I answered "No actually I wasn't listening"... then he SMILED. And everything that Tammy had seen in him...at that moment I saw for myself. It is amazing what a simple smile can do for a person. I think I amused him that day...Because every day after that, we spoke.
Eventually Stan and Tammy got together and there was drama between them. They were actually very sweet together. But unfortunately other things got between them and it didn't work out. Since, I some how ended up the 'go between', and Stan somehow found my phone number,; he and I began to talk on breaks, after work, before work and eventually on the phone. Most of our conversations began with Tammy but soon we became interested in each other.... Not in "that" kind of way, but in a friendly way...And soon we became very close friends .We would spend hours, grabbing a coffee and going to park in his car. We realized that we had actually met each other more than a few times years before. Stan had actually gone to shool with Dana and Rob. Small world.
Naturally, without notice, Stan became known as my "spare". My spare for Waymon that is. LOL. Actually it was Waymon, that gave him that name. He didn't mind the time I was spending with Stan. Because Stan and I talked about everything that he had no interest in. Basically, Stan got me out of Way's hair...LOL. We have seen each other through some tough times, tough relationships....The moon and the sun. *smile* And he has shared the best of times with us as well. He is unlike anyone that I have ever met...For so many reasons. And there are not words for me to describe how I feel about him. LOL... He was even there when Camryn was born..LOL...Reading the monitors, asking the nurses questions.... Watching me; he would know when it hurt and he would give me that little smile (anyone who knows him...Knows what I mean.) Like he always does...He has the ability to make any pain dim.
Camryn is a lucky little girl to have him as her God Father. And I too, am blessed to have him as my friend.
From Fortinos to Legs, to Tim Hortons at 2 in the morning, to breakups and indecision, to the moon and the stars, to hockey and euchre nights to playing pool, xmas parties to motels, to drive bys and road trips... You are my favorite HGG. LOL
