This penny is crushed:

But THIS Penny has a crush.

And it’s no good, folks. No good at all. Said crush is on someone totally inappropriate to have a crush on - not because he is like, 83 years old or lives 6 hours away or anything like that. No, he’s age-appropriate, lives in New York City, and I think just maybe is interested in me too.

"So what's the problem?" you ask. "Grab that boy, go split a bottle of red wine, and make out like high schoolers!"

Oh, and I'd like to. However. Said crush is a new co-worker. And this has "big problem" written all over it!

But oh. Crushes are fun. And this boy is adorable. As I said, he's a co-worker at my new job (which is working in a great preschool). He is another teacher in the classroom - and I don't know if he's just friendly, but as I said - I think it may go beyond that. We have moments where we glance at each other across the classroom (normally laughing at something a kid is doing) and he sort of seeks me out at moments at the end of the day or on the playground to make little comments or ask questions about me...

Ugh. Crush. Crushed.
