Yup...they are blue

"Yes, I know." "Thank you!" "Really, yes I do hear that all the time!" "Yes they are real"----If I had a quarter for every time I have said those exact quotes in the last 37 years I could retire!!

Why am I saying this you ask? Because many have told me I have the bluest eyes they have ever seen.

I know this is kind of a strange blog topic. Really, I get asked about my eyes every single day so I figure I may as well just set the record straight and say my peace about it.

Yes, those are the real color of my eyes. They are not blue contacts. I have been told they are the color of the sky, that they look like water, that they are so clear you can see to my soul. (really? I think that was just a pick up line)

When I was 6 years old I was with my grandmother and we had to pick up her car at the dealership. Now, it was winter time so I had on a white fur looking coat (why I remember this I have no idea) but I am sure that the white made my blue eyes pop! We had to walk through the service department to get the car....all I remember is the guys that were working, they were going completely ape shit over me with my blue eyes, blond curly hair and that little fur coat. I really had no idea what the big fuss was about so I just stood there and smiled.

So as I grew older I realized how much guys liked my eyes and I learned to use them to my advantage.

Batting those baby blues = getting what you want.

I do know how to use them to my advantage and most of the time it really does work. I have even used them to get out of speeding tickets (45mph in a 25mph) They work for just about anything really....as long as there is a guy standing in front of me that will look me in the eye.

I had a man say to my ex one day " How in the hell can you even talk to her all day man, her eyes are totally freaking me out!!" I guess he would never be able to handle me then!

I really enjoy it when I can just stand there and get some guy totally nervous, to the point that he is dropping things, acting like a high school kid....whatever. I know that this may sound a bit conceited but I swear it is true.

I would really like is to hear a nice compliment once in awhile that is NOT about my eyes. Lets see.... nice smile, great sense of humor, or any positive comment about anything other then my eyes would be nice, just to mix it up a bit.

A person I truly consider a gentleman and friend asked me one day " Who is the lucky man that gets to look into those beautiful blue eyes for the rest of his life?"
Me, being the smart ass I am, said "What guy?"
His reply--" He is out there milady I trust that he will be found!  I trust that he is out there for you somewhere and you will someday have the same happiness that I have found for myself"

God I hope he is right!
