Snuggling is not comfortable. Maybe the degree of comfortably has something to do with body type, body style, obviously, it has something to do with the size of the person that you are snuggling with as well. But in my experience, more often than not, snuggling is just not that comfortable. But with that said, every once in a while, approximately once every 6 months, you do somehow find that perfect snuggling position that is relatively pain free. Hey, I like snuggling. So when you are lucky enough to find that perfect snuggle position, you don’t want to lose it.

So, there we are last night around Midnight, having a Grade A, Snuggle Event. I woke up and she was facing me. My right arm had some how lodged itself perfectly between the pillow, the mattress and her head was on the ball of my shoulder. The top of her head was just under my chin. I’m telling you…the positioning was perfect. So, I decided to take advantage of the situation. I gave her a little kiss on the forehead. This will not get in appropriate. I promise. But I will say this. It looked like our Grade A Snuggle Event would turn into a Love event. That’s as descriptive that I will get. After a few minutes of snuggling and light smooching, I heard a sound that was not in the script. GRrrrrrrrrr. My stomach just let out a loud Roar. I won’t even call it a growl. And since it was completely quiet in the apartment, it was completely obvious. When you hear a growl like that, it means one of two things. Either A) your stomach is telling you its hungry. This was not the case with me. I had just had a pepperoni pizza. Option 2) well, the stomach growl was a 5 minute warning for a bathroom event. Come on tummy. And I don’t say “tummy” a lot. So, I tried to work thru it. It’s midnight, I just woke up my girl. I was on the way from transitioning from a snuggle event to a Love Event…And now, it appears that I’m going to have to have a bathroom event. And I don’t know about you but I can’t concentrate on my Love Event when there is an impending bathroom event. So, I got up. I forfeited my perfect snuggle position and excused myself to her bathroom. In my girl’s apartment, the bathroom is about 5 feet from the bed. So any Love Mood I had set was about to be kicked to the curb by my bathroom break. So, I’m sitting there thinking…

How can I go from a 10 minute bathroom event, and then somehow transition back into impending Love Event? And I came to one conclusion, It can’t be done. Any momentum that I may have had was gone for good. I just needed to go back, lay down and hope that she had fallen back to sleep. Nope, she was awake. So, I assumed my previous spot but I didn’t even attempt to recover my snuggle. Ok, I would just go back to sleep and try again another time. Well, about 20 minutes passed and I was wide awake. So, since I was awake, I figured, well, you know, lets try this again. Sure, now its 12:40ish. The chances are slim but what the heck. I’ll give it a shot. So, I move in for the spoon position. To my surprise, I didn’t get the “No way buddy.” So, it looked like things were on again. Alright, Sweet. Then just as the Love Event was about to be back on track, another stomach growl…It wasn’t as loud as the first one but I couldn’t take any chances. I thought the bathroom event was over but apparently, it was just halftime. I grabbed my stuff and left.
