Sweaty Palms & Racing Heart
Ok I’m a total D-O-R-K dork! I mean a bonafied (I did a Google search on this word & it led me to Urban Dictionary and of the 3 definitions I had to go with the 1st one – like none other, not copied – because the other 2 certainly weren’t what I was looking for but they gave me a good laugh) full fledge dork. But I’m ok with that, at least I admit it openly right? Are you curious yet about what the title has to do with the above reference to me being a dork?
This is how anxious, excited, nervous and eagerly awaiting the day I get a phone call from Seth…
My phone rang this morning & on my caller id the word INTERNATIONAL came up. OMG my heart started racing (scratch that – I think it stopped beating for a second!), my palms were sweating and I couldn’t answer quick enough.
Nothing like crashing back down to reality with the word hello. Funny thing is I knew it wouldn’t be him, I know I won’t get a phone call anytime soon but it’s funny how one word turned me into a sweating, heart racing, hand shaking giggly girl. All that even though I KNEW it wouldn’t be him.
My dork moment?
Well it’s because of all I mentioned (heart racing…blah blah blah) but the biggest thing is because I was expecting a phone call from Kelly for some training she needed to give me on a project I’ll be doing for her. So I knew her call would be coming in but I still allowed myself to delusion when I saw that word International. (sorry Kelly hope this doesn’t sound like I wasn’t happy to talk to you…lol)
Yeah like I said, I really am a D-O-R-K dork! But thank God it wasn’t him. I mean I probably would of fainted or something dorkish like that. I’m afraid to think how I’ll turn into this little giggly girly girl when I finally do get that call. Oh man I don’t even want to think about that.
When that call from Iraq (if he gets a chance to call while over there) does come in…
My reaction is going to be a Kodak moment (good thing I don’t have a digital camera anymore!)…it will look something like this. ![]()

Ya, you probably will faint when you actually do get a call from him! If I know you, you will giggle a lot too! It would be funny to get it on camera!!!

LOL Mary you know me so well! I probably will faint, ok well not faint but the poor guy will be talking and I’ll be laying on the floor, jaw hanging open and not be able to utter a single word because I’ll be so shocked!

Why in the world did it say “international” for Kelly? lol I remember getting phone calls and letters from my ex boyfriend when he was overseas…it was the best time and made my whole week.

Jen ~ I don’t know if he will still be getting R & R or not. I certainly hope he does
Nell ~ She was on Skype & she said it always does funny things when it’s a Skype call. The only funny things I’ve seen Skype do is usually it shows up as like 0123456 or 00000 or nothing comes up so it was just weird. LOL
