I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded 
In the past few weeks hubby has bought two gorgeous hanging planters for our back patio, surprised me with a pink digital camera, and suggested after lunch on Tuesday that we walk over to Target because he just loved spending time with me. Sigh…
Now hubby is a manly man. He wears two colors of socks: black and white. He loves beer. He loves football. He’s cooked a whole pig. He’s worked with broken ribs (his own). He’s tended bar. He can open a bottle of beer with his teeth. He’s done a lot of crazy ass guy stuff through the years, some of which may or may not have been illegal.
Hubby’s eyes glaze over if I say the words accessorize, duvet, or exfoliate. When we registered for wedding gifts I remember him slowly meandering toward the electronics department to catch up on NFL football scores while I lovingly gazed at stemware and fine bone china.
Tonight we’re going out with one of my best college guy friends who is flying into town to visit his little sister and her boyfriend. My friend also happens to be gay. We worked together in college as co-editors of the entertainment section of our college newspaper. Our friendship endured me having a hissy fit on deadline one night and me telling him to go to hell. Now that is friendship!
I know hubby won’t order any flirtinis or bust a move on the dance floor (dating myself there aren’t I) or spend more than 1.2 seconds deciding what to wear tonight, but I know he can hang out with the best of gay men and not feel uncomfortable.
Now, I’ve just got to figure out what I’m going to wear.
You can walk to Target?!? Not fair! I wish I could lol.
Well…from where we were eating lunch. It’s only about 2 miles from my office, though!
Have fun with both sides of the man spectrum tonight! Should be an interesting evening!

HAHAHA!! That’s really funny.
Laughing at the same thing Amy is. My hubby hangs with my best gay friend ok, although when we come home he debriefs me to figure out what all we were talking about. I guess it’s that confusing stuff like exfoliation.

My hubby is all man (well, I’ve never seen him open a beer bottle with his teeth, but still…) and HIS best friend is gay.

I recently blogged about my BFF wanting to find a NGBF (new GAY best friend)...
Would you be willing to share yours with her?

I feel like I am being cheated out of something in life. I read all these comments about GBFs and I don’t have one. Where can I get one? They sound like fun

I love a man who is comfortable enough with his own sexuality that he has no issue with someone elses.
Hope you had a grand time!

I’m so happy to know there is another man in the world with only black and white socks. My husband even wears black socks with his brown dress shoes. I know.

Looks like I have miss something here.
I do have some gay friends but they treat me normally, in the sense of good friends as I have a girlfriend myself =)
Well, they are friendly and we always go for beer and some chit chatting around.
