For A Good Time Call: 867-5309


Remember Tommy Tutone? He's got Jenny's number. Eight six seven five, three 'o niEE-ine. I wonder if Tommy and Jenny ever connected?

Mr. Nice Man, who called me June 17th, whose name begins with an "E," I don't have your number. If you happen to Google my name and find this post, you'll know why I never called back.

We met by chance. You bought my ticket because I didn't have cash (what ticket office is cash only?). You paid my way ... just because. I repaid you with a check with my cell number printed on it. You called me 2 weeks later and said all the right things. Then you said you wouldn't pester me and would never call again, but asked me to jot down your number from caller ID and please call you if I would like to get together. You let me know you weren't going to cash my check.

But, E., my life is a total zoo. I was at the office, phones ringing, people hovering about the door, not to mention being in the midst of the most bizarre 'otherhood crisis yet. So by the time I checked my received calls the next morning to jot down your number, it had rolled off the list, and incoming calls aren't listed on the bill.

So, E., break your promise to yourself and call me again. Or find this post. Coffee sounds great.

Oh, I love it! Karen, you're the best. You have to keep us posted. I must admit, your title was very eye-catching. LOL.

How romantic... this is like Sleepless in Seattle except your not in Seattle and it is not really at all like it. I'm totally hooked and hope he sees this blog!

PS you need caller id ... just saying.

Hi Maria! I stalk your artwork, I hope you don't mind ... it's fabulous! Anyone reading this comment: Go. See. Her. Art. Go go. Now. It's amazing.

My cell stores up to 60 incoming calls, and yes, I received that many calls in that particular 24 hour period. I may blog about the 'otherhood event that caused such an influx of calls ...

So his number rolled off of the list before I could write it down. Why didn't I just make a date when he called?!! The crowd around my desk, visitors arriving in the office, my office phone ringing with others on hold perhaps??

I'm the Charlie Brown of ... everything. Keep hoping he calls! Thank you!

Looks like I came in on a good one because now I'm really intrigued! I'm a sucker for a good love story so, or a bad one as long as it's funny. Can't wait to see how it turns out. :)

Oh man, are you kidding?! Fingers crossed that he calls again.

Oh, hey, when you get your cell phone bill, won't it have incoming calls on it?
