Wow. Lots of sightings lately. I actually had two in back to back
days!! It's a miracle!! It had been so long since I got to hone my
radar and get my senses all worked up, but it actually happened. It
seems like when I do experience sightings, they seem to happen in
what I call the "Light Bulb Theory." I call it the Light Bulb
Theory because:

Have you ever noticed that you never seem to have to change the
light bulbs in your house but then, one goes out, and within a two
week span, it seems that you've replaced every bulb in the house,
because they all seem to go at once? That's how many of my
sightings are. Nothing for a long time, then two days in a row!
Feast or famine. Isn't that strange? Anyway, back to the sightings:

The first came at a baseball game, and the "victim" was the girl
that I was with. We are very good friends, with potential. She
really likes baseball and is a fan of the home team here, so she had
two tickets and asked me to go. Of course, I love baseball, and
even thought I'm not a real big fan of the local team (I grew up
elsewhere and my legions are still with MY hometown teams), I gladly
accepted her offer.

My friend (we'll call her "J") likes to have some suds at ballgame,
but always keeps it within moderation. I guess she was happy to
have gotten free tickets, because she was having a bit more than
usual (what she saved on tickets she could spend on beer, was her
logic.) J also smokes, and the level that we were sitting in (we
had moved down after the first few innings) has a designated smoking
area behind the last row of seats in that section, about five feet
or so behind that last row of seats, with a concourse behind the
smoking area. (The smoking area is nothing more than a yellow line
painted on the pavement!) I was busy watching the game when J, on
her 5th beer (the game was in the sixth inning) was standing
directly behind me in that smoking section, when I heard her say to
me "Oh, I've got the hiccups". I tried calmly to turn around
(without trying to give myself whiplash from how fast I FELT like
turning!) to hear a faint "hic", and to also see that her cigarette
was just about done, which meant she would be sitting next to me very
soon (heh, heh!). I turned back around to face the field with as
much cool and calmness as I could muster, to hear her say "This
isn't good." (Referring to her hiccups.) I turned around again to
see her put out her cigarette on the ground, and then pick it up to
throw it away in the trash. During that time, I saw (but didn't
hear) a nice one, sucking in her neck and making her body jump a
bit. FYI, J is 31, about 5'10" (!) and fairly slender. She has
blonde hair and is very attractive. She was wearing a red tank top
(just at the length where it's too short to tuck in) and a denim
skirt. That tank top helped my visual in that particular instance.
She walked back to the seats, climbed over the row, and sat down
next to me. She asked me something about the game, and hiccupped
pretty loudly right after her sentence. Of course I answered her in
a way so she would have to ask more questions, but the hiccups went
away!! Just like that!! I don't know when they started (she was
directly behind me, and I didn't even know until she announced
them.) It couldn't have been any longer than two minutes, and I
only saw/heard three. I was hoping for an encore performance later
in the evening (we hung out at her place afterwards), but nothing
doing. RATS!! Is there anything more frustrating than having a
sighting that's only a minute or two long? I don't think so!! More
than just a couple of teasers, but not a full-fledged case. She made
no attempt to get rid of them, it just happened. I wonder if her
stepping over the chair had anything to do with it? (Unnatural
pressure on her mid-section may have "fixed" them!) Oh well, on to
sighting Number Two:

This one happened to my cube mate at work (we'll call her "A".) She
was coming back from the bathroom,, and started talking to me,
during which I thought I saw her hiccup. I didn't get too excited,
as she'll get one or two teasers on occasion. As she kept talking
to me about work and how to access certain things on our software
systems, she hiccupped again, and this one was a little audible.
Then I began thinking "Could it be? Could it be?" Another audible
one came along, and I knew (or so I thought, anyway!) that this was
the real deal. A is 25, about 5'5, blonde, very athletic build and
absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She was wearing a button down shirt, with a
white, short tank top underneath, leaving her first few buttons on
the top of the shirt open. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any of
them , because she was looking at her computer, and facing away from
me (we sit back-to-back.) She then put her hand over her mouth, and
each hiccup that came (about every 6-8 seconds) after that was louder
and louder and VERY high pitched, like she was squeaking, although
they were loud. Of course, I kept trying to explain about our
systems so she would be forced to ask more questions (which she
did), and after about the fifth "squeak", she said "These hiccups
are driving me crazy!!" Then she asked me "What gives you
hiccups?". We had just eaten lunch together at Chipotle, so I
responded "Chipotle" (how original! Man, I'm surprised I could
think that quick on my feet when I was in la-la land!) She laughed,
and then said "I've been getting them a lot lately." As much as I
wanted to explore that avenue, (and have her think I'm a total
freak!) I didn't say anything, and then you'll never guess what
happened next? Her hiccups stopped!!! Out of the blue!!! For the
second time in as many days, I was the victim of the most cruel form
of hiccup punishment that exists in the world as we know it today!!
She made absolutely no attempt to get rid of them. She had them for
maybe three minutes at the most. To quote George Foreman: "I was
robbed!" I am thankful for my two brief sightings, but I keep
thinking "Why?" Hopefully, I'll get my due here shortly. I hadn't
had a chance to post in a while, so I wanted to share these with
you, even though they weren't the greatest. Hope you enjoyed them.

Until next time..................
