So, my friend is a local reporter and needed another person for a story on local agencies having trouble meeting funding with the economy and she came to interview me! I was just glad I didn't fall on my face.. But really, help is needed more than ever. Watch the whole story b/c the end of it makes me tear up when the lady is talking about Christmastime...
Anyway, here ya go....
Also, I went to sushi tonight with Maureen and I ran into someone.. This is what happened. Sheer embarrassment:
She looked at me and smiled....
Me: Hi! ...... Please forgive me, but I just can't recall where we know each other from...
Her: I live in your building.
Me: Oh. I'm so sorry.. (I live in a small apt building..and have talked to her like 10 times.. granted, she was in sweats then, not in the dress she had on tonight. But still, I should have known this.)
Nice one, Jax. Good gosh.. (In my defense, she just moved in, but still.... wow.) And usually, I just fake it like I remember someone if I don't.. I am HORRIBLE with names.. and when you grew up in a city, went to college in a city, went to law school in that SAME city, people begin to mix together sometimes. Why did I have to say anything at all?! Doh! *sigh*
Guess if I was gonna make a jerk outta myself, would rather it be with one person like that instead of on the news earlier... (see how I kinda tied that in together? haha...)

don't be so hard on yourself for not remembering her. you have a million different people in your life, you are one busy girl!!
good work friend!
You did great!!!
Don't beat yourself up sweets- life's too short to remember every person you come across and you handled the situation well. I'm at work so the video hasn't loaded but I'm sure you were fab!
you were eloquent and pensive, without being cheesy. two thumbs up.
and, yeah, i teared up a little at the end, too. *sniff*
awwww yay! you did a great job! i wish they had shown more of you!
i think it's admirable that you were honest with the neighbor. i hate that moment in my head where i am trying to decide whether to fake it or not. it happens a lot when parents walk in and say "i'm here to pick up my son for a doc appt" and i have to try to figure out who is their kid, or ask...
yea! that's my girl! you did so good!
Awh you did brilliant!
Awww, you were great!
Good job lady and don't feel bad about forgetting about your neighbor, at least you were genuine and sweet and asked her what her name was. It happens to most of us, I do the same thing sometimes I am just horrible with remembering names! Sigh.
WOW! Look at you girl! You look amazing, gorgeous, professional and well spoken! You are awesome...I think you may need to look into adding this on to your list of professions! You look so comfortable on camera! You rock girl!
You did so awesome and look absolutely gorgeous! Good job girl! Your blog is presh by the way :)
You did a fantastic job in that. So well spoken.
I gave you an award over at my place! I absolutely love your blog. Hope you are having a great night!
