That's because you're a first-class nutter.
(Btw, where are you from?)
-
Born in Dublin. Ireland and dragged up in Manchester, England. A little town called Partington.
-
So where am I called a nutter --in Dublin or Partington?
-
Partington. LOL Don't be getting a big head now Rachel. Ha ha
-
Well, you did call me a first class nutter, John, so I say blame is all on you!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What a lovely story, Rachelle, I think I would have died on the spot! Lol. You just seem to float through these fun occasions, and come out with a big smile on your face, and giving everyone a giggle too! I loved your author's notes, too. :)) xxx

It was far more work to try to explain that, and I didn't even think it sounded all that plausible. So I just went with the flow. Sometimes you just have to own the humiliation, you know?! xo
Comment from Debbie Pope
My favorite line of this one is, "Mighty fine vessel ye got here, Matey." You have such an outstanding sense of playfulness and humor, and you share it so well in your writing. I truly enjoy your fun escapades. They seem endless.

Comment from Sylvia Page
Rachelle, I can relate to this. I had eye surgery done on my right eye two weeks ago and just getting prepped up for surgery of my left eye. Felt stupid in church with dark glasses on throughout the service with all eyes on me, but the pastor bless his heart knew that I was between surgeries. So did the 8-year-old turn up with the cookies? That would have been a treat for her.
Regards
Sylvia

She and her mom did come by with the cookies, but by then, I was on my pirate test drive. So they left them on the back deck, and when I returned home and saw them (with my one eye...) I called and shared the story and gave them their best laugh of the week. Then I called the next day with Part II, and they laughed even harder.
Did you have the left eye done now? How did it go?
xo
-
That would have been very entertaining.
Yes. I had my left eye done, but when I thought it was all okay and was tailing off the steroid eye drops, ran into a little trouble and the surgeon had to increase medication to stop the inflammation. Smiles
:)
-
Oh dear. When it's the eyes, it's especially nerve-wracking. I hope the additional medication takes hold and you heal quickly and without further problems. xo
-
Thanks, seems good so far.
-
Good. I hope it continues.

And did the piano student never get to deliver her cookies?
An amazing tale, aargh. The stuffed penguin was an especially nice touch. I hope you enjoyed the car.
Peace, Lee

Yes, the piano student and her mom dropped the cookies off while I was having my pirate test drive. I called her mom when I returned home and shared the story, and she was beside herself with laughter. Ditto for the next day when I shared Part II. I live to entertain, Lee. xo

This had me laughing out loud. I'm glad you're surgery went well. I can just picture the look on the salesman's face when you were dressed as a pirate.

It was a classic moment...and a lot funnier than it was at the time.
Thanks for the fun review, TheStoryMan. xo
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
That's pretty funny Rachelle. The things we do to not frighten children. That was a genius idea and very thoughtful of you. I'm glad that everything went well. What should we do with the car dealer though? I enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Thanks very much, Jeffrey. I've since bought three more cars from him, and my husband has bought two, so, as time elapsed, he did get to see me without any 'costumes' on. xo
Comment from karenina
Seriously...you crack me up! How easily our perfectly sane ideas can be misconstrued! So you were some grand (somewhat crazy) actress trying out a multitude of roles, were you? What fun if you'd kept it up, a different character every week!--Karenina

Well, between Bobby and me, we've bought five more cars from him, and although I did contemplate it, I never did come dressed as something other than myself after my pirate/Jackie O stint. (I really felt as if he were disappointed, though...)
Thanks for the cute review. xo

You were a great sport about it!--Karenina
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
He he he, you must have looked pretty glamorous for him to say that Rachelle so I bet you weren't offended! This is a real and honest story that amused me and it is a joy to read Rachelle, never a dull moment at your house! Love Dolly x

Comment from A. Willow Bends
ONLY YOU! Anyone else would have jumped in and explained, but oh no!, you just continued in pirate mode! I love this and you've written it well. The hilarity of the situation is forefront and personally, I just wonder if your husband thought your meds were a bit too strong! Great job! Perfection in getting the story out to your audience as well as a brief shot of your personality! HILARIOUS!

Hahahaha. Some things, Wendy, just get worse the more you try to explain them. Sometimes, you just have to let life be goofy and go with it!
I don't take meds, so my husband was probably just thinking, "Yep; just another day married to my honey. Nothing new here, really, just theme and variation." (He's grateful that there's never a boring day. Definitely a Keeper, that one!!)
I love what you've written here. You're such a fun reviewer. xo

O.K. , no meds, SOOOO would really have liked to see his face NOW!

He's stoic. His expressions don't really change. You have to know what to look for (red ears). xo
