Tayari's Blog: Oops!

Travels & Rambles
Lauren dashed off a quick post about meeting a reader of her blog in just a beautiful happy-accident kind of way. I, too, love running to members of this community. (Remember the first time I met Ladylee??)
Anyway, I have a story in a similar vein. I woke up this morning missing an old friend of mine whom I hadn't seen in forever. Scrolling through my phone memory I saw a number labeled CAROL. I pressed "call."
Well, here's the short version. The CAROL on the phone book wasn't my old friend, CAROL. It was CAROL, a member of the blog community, who had contacted me by email. Our phone conversation went like this:
CAROL: Hello
Me: Carol! It's TAYARI
CAROL: (hesitantly, and sleepily) Tayari. Oh, hi!
Me: Did I wake you up? What time is it where you are?
CAROL: Six in the morning.
Me: What? Where are you?
CAROL: At home. In San Francisco. Pacific time.
Me: What?? When did you leave St. Louis?
CAROL: I am confused. Who did you say you were again?
Okay, so that was awkward, but we ended up having a nice little chat! (Note to self, start putting people's LAST NAMES in my cell phone memory! Another note to self, also use people's REAL NAMES. Who in the world are "Uncle Ricky", "The Future", or "Airplane Guy"????)

Now THAT'S funny! I think you should call up Uncle Ricky and them, just to see what they say, lol.

This is too funny - I have been away from all things writerly for so long - so what do I do when I have to get back in the groove ...visit Tayari.com (Uncle Ricky...can you read us a bedtime story).
