the usual

dear love, 

i like to think i'm smooth. i like to believe that i can talk to just about anyone and not really get nervous or awkward. but i thought i would share an experience today. i was working at the moa cafe and, of course, a really good looking guy walked in. i smiled at him and got him what he ordered...and i straight TRIPPED right in front of him. my heel got caught on one of the mats and it was just really really funny. i actually was so close to falling that i had to put my hand down on the floor to stop myself. i'm laughing right now as i'm writing this, remembering the look on his face when i fell. he was concerned and sweet, but i felt SO DUMB! what the heck is up with that? how is it that i helped probably like 100 people that day and i have to be a total dummy in front of the CUTE ONE?!? well, i think the answer is that it builds character and it makes it so that i have something to tell my grandchildren or something. 

don't think that this is an isolated event. no, quite the contrary actually. i do stuff like this all the time and i just love it because i crack myself up. another time, at the moa too, i was talking about how cute our little garbage guy was (who apparently was engaged at the time--how was i supposed to know??) and he WAS RIGHT THERE IN THE ROOM as i was saying this. anyway, there are too many of these little experiences to remember them all, but hopefully you got a little chuckle out of this, love. more accounts of embarrassing tales to tell soon.
