scatterbrained

OK so first things first... I started this blog with the intention on taking a pic for every day Jay was gone... obviously I failed. I apologize...so now I will blog when I need to share the good, the bad and for today the oh so ugly!

Here is the start...beware it's ugly!

I was sitting here, you know my favorite spot...the couch. I was engrossed in an old Law and Order episode, seriously trying to figure out who dun it! The phone started ringing.
Normally this does not cause complete panic but it said it was from the hospital!
OH GOOD GRACIOUS!
I immediately think something has happened to frick or frack, something so bad they just rushed them to the hospital!
I answer in a very timid voice..."hello???"
The lady on the other end proceeds to tell me she is looking for a photog.
I checked the living room and it hit me.. OH YOU WANT ME!
I am than so prepared, she wants family photos, baby bump or senior pictures. I am so ready!
She says she is getting married.
HOLY MOLY ITS A WEDDING!
I am soooo not ready!
I tell her my prices and than tell her that I have only ever second shot. I was honest. Now I tell her she gets a disc with images, if she wants she can order prints...yada yada yada.
What I am not telling you is this was between lots of uhhhhh's and dramatically long pauses! Its between explaining things she didn't need to know and completely sounding like I am a lunatic!
She thanks me for my time and we let each other go.

IT HITS ME!
I sounded like a dork! A big dork! Like a completely unprepared DORK!

SO what is a dork to do.. well DUH call her back.

one problem...
I didn't get her name.

I call back the number and the same sweet voice comes on the phone, I say hi this is Collette, we just spoke. The voice says "huh?"
I say the photographer.
She says oh that's the other lady.

well this just got more awkward. Once again completely tongue tied I explain to her how scatterbrained I am and I just wanted to touch base and apologize.
She asks for my number to take a message.
Sure no problem it's.....
ummm...
yeah....
hmmmm....
What is my number?
oh yeah is blah blah blah.
(really Collette! you might want to learn your number!)

So I may have just thrown my photog career in the toilet but IF she found my brand of crazy endearing MAYBE just maybe she will call me back. Hopefully I wont sound how I look.....
