I went to Safeway tonight and I was more scatter brained then normal. I was going from end to end and I really had no clear idea of what I wanted or needed. I thought I was finally done, when I realized I needed some Splenda. As I walked past register 1, I thought my eyes were deceiving me... There stood good ol #7 of the San Jose Earthquakes, Mr Ronnie O' Brien. I kept walking.. I had this internal conflict about what a wonderful fateful moment I was passing up. So many different things had to happen to get us both right here right now. I made an executive decision and decided that Splenda was not a necessity and I high tailed it back to register 1. I could tell Ronnie was taking quick glances at me. He led his wife in front of him so that we could be side by side. He loaded all his groceries onto the belt and then pushed his cart forward. I proceeded to put my items on the belt and I caught him sneaking peaks at me. His blue eyes were magnificent and I knew he was sending me secret Irish thoughts of love. He proceeded to pay and walk out. As soon as he was far enough away, I gushed at the clerk..."Do you know who that was? Ronnie O'Brien!!! " All I got was.."WHO?" It didn't matter, I knew who he was.. I knew we shared a beautiful moment at the Safeway.. (Heavy Sigh)
Most likely, Reality~
After talking to my bestey Tresha and my current husband Victor, they believe my perspective was a little flawed. Here is how they both see it. (Strangely the same!!)
The season had been over for awhile.. and Ronnie and his wife hadn't been bothered by freaky fans lately, so they figured a Monday night trip to the market would be nice. They shopped and went to the first register with the smallest line. They unloaded the groceries and realized a peculiar girl was staring at them. Ronnie moved his wife away from the freak and put his body between his beloved wife and this crazed lunatic. Ronnie peered at the girl every now and again to make sure he was not bum rushed. He paid and they high tailed it out of there. Excited they averted a scene.
