Mal ,'The Train Job'
[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.
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."
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!
I'm kinda double posting this here and in Natter, but I finally uploaded photos from, oh, the past year or so just so I could upload photos from the recital yesterday. With luck, the link will work and everyone can see my little kitty.
It was so much fun, first getting to see her along with all the experienced dancers, then watching her as she watched the second half of the show. She loved it!
Oh, Burrell, your kids are so freakin' BIG and awesomely cute.
