Anyway, I head down this aisle and I hear someone coming behind me talking. I keep walking. Then I hear "Kim, is that you?" So I turn around and this woman is talking away "Oh I thought it was you, how are you, blah blah blah......"
Oh Crap - I have absolutely no idea who this is. She is calling me by name and yapping away and I am at a total loss. Could she have mistaken me for another Kim?? So I am standing there with a phony smile on my face, plus a combination of confusion, embarrassment, and just plain old HUH?? My little brain is spinning ---- THINK YOU MORON......who the heck is this??
After what felt like an eternity but was probably only a minute she caught on to the look on my face. She says "Its Helen". OMG its Helen! We went to the same university (25 years ago) and she married a friend of mine. His parents still live here and she and Steve used to visit us occasionally, but not for several years. Last time I saw her she had long hair and now it was short short. Thank God because that was the excuse I used for not recognizing her!
Has this ever happened to you?? It is so embarrassing. So after all that I was so kerfuffled I bought the wrong size rug PLUS I couldn't remember any of the other things I needed. I came home with the wrong rug and toilet paper - thats all. Duh!
But I did get a tiny bit of hooking done. If I don't get going I will still be finishing this Angel next Christmas! Remember, I wasn't happy with the border colors? So the first colors are on the right and the new colors (more mottled) are on the left.
Hope you all had a great weekend.
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteYes, I've had the 'who the heck is she' moments. Usually people I worked with at the hospital 20 years ago. It's totally embarrasing! Could I plead Senior Moment???
I like the more mottled colors to the left, especially the blues and greens.
Oh yeah, I totally hate when that happens! Karmen
ReplyDeleteI am the same way, and I have fought for years to keep doing the project, in years past I just stopped, now I make myself finish it no matter what.
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny story, Yes, more often than not if I do run into someone I will forget everything I went for, I really, really hate not knowing someone like that. One of my brothers friends who used to stay at our house as much as we did, I ran into and I had no clue who he was, but he wouldn't tell me who he was, he just kept laughing because I just didn't know.
I finally got my brother to tell me but I never did recognize him. Maybe because he was a punky little kid and he turned into a nice looking man. Who knows. :) funny story though.
Kim ~
ReplyDeleteKerfuffled. I like that word!
I am TERRIBLE with names AND faces so I know exactly where you are coming from. It can be embarrasing.
I do like the mottled colors better.
Hugs :)

Kim, it makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one that this happens to. Several years ago I was in Moncton at a Milk Marketing Board AGM and this tall handsome guy came over to me and gave me a big hug and kissed me on the cheek. I said," Hey, wait a minute, I don't know you" He said, "Yes you do" I said, "No, I don't know you" "I'm your cousin Danny. "I said " OMG. how embarrassing". Then I recognized him and hugged him back. He was the interpreter for the convention. JB
ReplyDeleteKim, it happens to me all the time too. I have a good memory, but it is short and getting shorter!
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, funny, I can relate, but at my age it's getting harder to remember the ones you see more often.
ReplyDeleteI like to more mottled colors also. I know what you are talking about, I have been messing around with Melvin the sheep like forever.
Has this ever happened to you?? Yes! More time than I care to remember! :-)
