A TUESDAY TICKLE!

Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself! Yesterday I answered my phone after just popping in a handful of almonds. Not recommended mind you!

As I am trying to speak without sounding like I was chomping on a mouthful of food, I inadvertently blurted out:

"So sorry, I have some nuts in my mouth!"

As soon as I said it, I realized that this must have sounded really bad! Thankfully the man on the other end of the phone had a good sense of humor.

The good news is that he is a shopping center developer and could be a potential great new client.

When he emailed me later in the day he said he had laughed about my comment all day!

Have a FUN day today!

Paula,

Cherise and you could literally be sisters! This is something I've seen her do - in other mannerisms with her clients. Your honesty and sense of humor is better branding than anything else... g

This must be why we were instantly drawn to one another through blogging. I love it.
