Tara ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay for overcoming phone fear, Kristin. I leave the worst answering-machine messages. I often say something odd and then try to make up for it and end up rambling on when all I really needed to say was, "call me back."
I'm finding Inkheart quite compelling but I'm less than 100 pages in so far.
I am avoiding cleaning by doing job-search stuff. I figure I will be so irritated at answering all 8 professional teaching statementes (in 300 characters or less!) by the time I get done with my coffee that I will WANT to go do the dishes.

Oh, my god. I do this, too!!! I fancy myself someone who has at least 2 brain cells to rub together, but whenever I get someone's voice mail, I turn into a drooling, babbling idiot whose brain cells have just gone walkabout.
I leave great voice mails. I should have a service or something.

See, and this is the problem. I had to leave TEN voicemails to families paying good money to have me teach their kids. I wrote a little bullet-point list to try to keep myself on track, but I am sure I sounded like an idiot at least part of the time. Ah, first impressions.
The Boy has overheard me leaving messages -- for people I've known a long time, like my best friend, etc. -- and asked me when I was finished, "Why don't you just write down ahead of time what you want to say?"
The problem is when I get voicemail and wasn't expecting it. When confronted with voicemail, I can't think on my feet.

Brunch people just left. It was lots of fun, everyone seemed to like the food, and now I'm going to go collapse on the couch.
If I have any clue I am going to leave a message, I do rehearse it in my head a few times. I adore the voicemail dealies where they have the option to re-record, on account of the drooling, babbling thing.
hooray for successful brunch!
