Let's see. How would you go about this...thinking, thinking...
Well, the next time you go there and see her...maybe say exactly what you've said here. Or the Readers Digest version anyway. That you have been in the area for a while and you telecommute and it's hard for you to meet new people. Be sure you mention the married thing so no gay vibe. Say that you thought she seemed cool and laid back and maybe you two could catch a movie sometime...or lunch or dinner or just a couple drinks when she gets off work sometime?
I know if I were in her shoes, I would be flattered. Just be sure to work your great sense of humor and be plenty self-deprecating and you will be sure and help your cause :)
thanks for the advice...we'll see how it goes. she lives fairly close to me (learned that the last time i had to take boomer to the vet), so i might also ask if there's anything fun to do in our little burg of queen creek.
I wish I could help here. All of my friends are either a result of college or work. I'm not so good at talking to people when I first meet them, it generally takes time for me to warm up and get over the need to be a complete asshole.
The calling/stopping by/etc stuff sounds like a plan, although I would never do it because, well, I'm me.
Maybe, you stop by and to make it sound like you're not hitting on her, you say that you're still relatively new to the area and looking for a friend and whatnot. Might work. If not, and you come off looking a little dumb, does it matter? Not like you have to see her every day or anything.

i really hate the process of actually having to go out of my way to meet people. because, well, i'm me (to blatantly steal your words).
i'm so lazy and jaded.
