<<<<>>>>side notes: 1: taking a picture of your own hand is weird (or maybe I need to sleep) 2: so many cool things happened in DC that I am going to post several shorter posts over the course of the next few days (including this one from a rest stop on the drive home @ 4:30 in the morning - I probably ought to be taking a nap) 3: I am the most socially awkward person I know - but this takes it even for me! <<<<>>>>
Setting scene about a buzillion bloggers in one small loud room.
Hi, I'm Holly (from the healthyeverythingtarian.com)
Hi, I'm ummm I I'm sorry I just broke my wedding ring
Look of kind shock on her face
I start to blubber (insert foot into mouth)
It's pearls, ummm I'm a pearl girl, ummm it happens umm it's okay. I'm not a diamond person, my father was a jeweler and a drunk and ummm yeah ummm we got diamonds when he was an ass. I have a diamond it was my mother's, she's dead it was in my family for 8 generations and now I wear it. Ohhhh ummm I'm Joy, nice to meet you!
(all spoken at about 1,000,000 miles per hour while staring at my broken pearl ring willing it back together and my mouth to stop talking!)
And she was the most gracious person ever!
This THIS is why I don't get out much. Wouldn't you want to meet me?
Yeah I think I'll go for that nap now seeing as they don't sell alcohol at rest stops!
It was so nice to meet you and THANK YOU so much for your lovely gift ;)
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you about the time, right after I was told I might have a benign tumor, that I was in a bookstore and ended up crying in the arms of a bewildered checkout clerk? Yeah, we all do things like this sometimes.
