I Should Have Married A Politician
I have a secret to confess. Actually, if you knew me well it wouldn’t be a secret at all. Most of my family and friends have seen me drooling over this man. Some might call it an obsession and others may see it as stalking behavior, but I’d label it downright lust.
I want you to meet the man who reigns over my “Top 5” list (yes, Nate & I do have a top 5 freebie list!). Mr. Brad Ellsworth. Take a moment and just soak in the wholesome goodness this tall, dark and very handsome man radiates.
He was formerly the sheriff of our county (oh yes, in uniform) and last fall won the congressional seat for our district. The highlight of 2006 for me was that his campaign office was downtown and in my building. He was on the 5th floor, I was on the 6th for eight glorious months. My daily needs were met almost daily by seeing him in person. How often do you really get that close to someone in your “Top 5“?
In fact, last November I rode up 5 floors in the elevator with him - A.L.O.N.E.! I called my husband immediately after and confessed that I could have made my move on Mr. Ellsworth right there in the elevator and had my way with him. Of course that fantasy didn’t happen, but it could have.
Mr. Congressman has since moved on to spend more time in Washington, D.C. and the encounters are now few and far between. But thanks to the local news I can still have a daily dose of his hotness every now and then.
It’s so wrong to lust after another man. Most women choose celebrities, but I choose this family man. Maybe because he seems more real and down-to-earth than the untouchable ego’s that grace our movie screens. I did notice he’s accepting applications for Congressional Interns….
My name is Emily. I’m 30 years old. I have often been told that I ask a lot of questions, but I think I have more to say than ask.
Despite the obvious age difference…I do admit he’s H.O.T.! Wish our local congressman was as easy on the eyes.
I’m that way about Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson…and Patricia Arquette. And Jeff Goldblum (only when he wears glasses!). And Ellen DeGeneres. I’m totally not into ladies, but if I was–these two would be mine! And as for men, I really only like nerds.
But to be in the same elevator with your 5th floor hottie, you sure do have a fantastic sense of restraint.
Ooooo, mine is a sculpter who lives here in town. I’ve actually gotten to casual friend status with him, and it’s great except that I trip all over my words when I try to talk to him. Tonight though, he had an opening, and Guy and I went. It was funny - with my husband standing there with me, I had no trouble carrying on a conversation with the sculpter.
Of course, when we left, Guy made tons of fun of me and my little crush. I think we all have them. Guy’s is Sara Evans, the country singer. Of course he says that it’s because we look alike. He would have to ruin the game with sweetness.
Mine’s Hugh Laurie. Who is a celebrity, I guess, but who doesn’t act like one. And that’s the way I like my celebrities.
Oh Myyyy….
I’m sure Congressman Ellsworth appreciates your devotion. And he probably appreciates your restraint on the elevator ride! LOL And now when people Google the Congressman, your blog will pop right up there for them to read.
you are hilarious!!!
(oh…and i have a list too…)
I always have a thing for the nerdy guys for some reason, so I never ever share my list. Wouldn’t want to make everyone laugh at me you know.
One question before I join you in lust: democrat or republican?
Nutmeg - He’s Democrat (and I usually lean more on the Republican side - depending on the candidate). But he has some conservative streaks in him. Oh, who cares….he’s just so HOT!!!!
Wendy - I’m into the “nerdy” type too. Guys who know they are hot, aren’t that hot to me.
And I’ll reveal my list to you all in the next post!
He is quite dapper, isn’t he?
Haha, at least you and your husband are honest with each other about it!
I’ll keep my eye out for him for you! Also, don’t let Oh, the Joys catch wind of the uniform thing!
Ohhh. He IS a hottie. I can totally see how he’d be in your top 5!
Yummylicious! He is easy on the eyes!
Now if we could just get him in a Park Ranger Uniform…
I married a polititian and guess what? He has a beer belly and he’s going bald on top! Be careful what you wish for
