Sometimes I am not the quickest horse in the stable.

or the brightest crown in the box.

I tend to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

and sometimes people wonder if my elevator goes all the way to the top floor.

Yes I am a natural blonde, although I have dyed my hair.

I like to think of it as artificial intellegence.

Case in point, yesterday evening.

I have new job as a photographer at a protrait studio. There are a few studios in the greater columbus area, and I travel to different studios during the week.

Last night I had just finished working a nine hour shift, and as I closed up the store I pulled out my cell phone to check my messages.

I had three missed calls.

The first two numbers came up as names from my caller id, but the third was just a number.

It looked really really familar.

Because I didnt want to use daytime minutes, I used my work phone to call the number and see who was calling my cell phone.

It was busy. I figured I would wait a few minutes and try again. Every time I dialed the number from my work phone it was busy.

While I was waiting I decided to call my cell from my work phone and check my messages to see if this mystery caller had left me a message.

I dialed then number of my cell phone and it started to ring. I looked and saw that it was the mystery number!

YES!

Whoever was trying to get ahold of me must be trying to call me back.

So while I held my work phone in my hand on one ear I picked up my cell phone and answered it with the other hand.

"Hello" I said into my cell phone.

and "hello" I heard in my ear through the work phone.

Oh yeah, its true.

I had just called myself AND tried to answer myself all at the same time.

yep... I'm quick.

the mystery number was my studio, from when I had checked messages earlier in the day.


Thank God I am cute and fun cause Lord knows I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.


and that my friends, is why I need the "shirt" bus
