Hello, stranger

Nancy had an embarrassing incident today regarding her blog, and I was also a participant.  We’d gone to the GlassArt show last week, and the only local exhibitor at the show had been really rude to us when we went by their booth.  Everyone else at the show was quite nice, so having a local give us the brush-off gave Nancy incentive to ream the vendor and their website in her blog.  Well, whoopsie on us—the person who was rude to us was not the local exhibitor at all, but the person at the booth next to hers.  Her booth was perhaps vacant when we went past it, and so it looked as if the man at the next table was the vendor.  He had a very condescending demeanor and neither of us had any desire to deal with him in the future, hence the blog rant.  The *real* vendor was doing a Google search for her store and found Nancy’s blog and the rant, and was horrified, and wrote an email apologizing profusely for her rudeness.  She also felt badly that we thought she was a man!  After we had a chuckle about it, Nancy wrote back to the woman and explained what had happened, and I think it’s all going to have a happy ending.  Nancy’s offered to help the woman redo her website, and I hope this will be the beginning of a good business relationship.  But wow, it really goes to show you that you never know who is reading what you write.  Oprah, if you’re reading this, I could really use a donation of a million or so to start my animal charity—thanks in advance.

And one more stranger I want to talk about… the owner of the blog Quixotic Ideal has put up a link to my blog on their site, and I’d like to say thanks smile I don’t know who you are, although I’m sure I’m old enough to be your mother, but I really, really appreciate the vote of confidence.  If you have any blog entry requests, like “Shih-tzu surgery greatest hits”, please just let me know.

Cricket was such an agitated butt-head today, and tonight she’s limping around painfully.  I hope she hasn’t done any damage to her knee, but she gets her stitches out on Thursday so we’ll find out then.  Keeping her still has been next to impossible, despite all the medications we use to sedate her.  She needs a strait jacket.

I’ve got to be up early tomorrow, as it’s “stucco painter” and “annoying CS rep from builder” day.  You know how I love visitors, especially ones who show up at 8am.  If we’re lucky, tomorrow will be the very last day that we’ll have to deal with home repairs for the next 25 years.  And a plea from me to you… if you’re not watching Veronica Mars, please start, because I love that show so much and I want to be sure it will be back for next season.

  1. I think that Nancy just discovered the situation that every blogger fears - ranting about someone and being found out!

    I remember when I ranted about Ann Coulter, I soon became paranoid that she was going to knock on my door and punch me in the belly!  LOL

    I am glad that it ended well for everyone.  How hilarious is it that the vendor was upset that you could not tell she was a woman?  That has got to be the best story ever!

  2. I once mocked the figure skater Elaine Zayak at a practice session for the World Figure Skating Championships, and then her grandmother, who was sitting in front of me, turned and gave me a dirty look.  Oops.  I’d be very afraid of Ann Coulter, though, because she’s INSANE.
