My contact at the Red Shoe House asked me to help out at the fundraiser fashion show last week. She wanted someone to work with the photographer--taking down names for captions--and write the article for the next newsletter.
The day of the event she introduced me and the photographer to each other by an e-mail. His name was Doug. I crossed my fingers that he was Hot-Single-Photographer Doug. He was not, but he was still a lot of fun to hang out with for the night and kept me laughing. I added a lot to my experience as a photographer's assistant--following someone around, taking down names with attention to spelling, and not complaining about the angry pangs of hunger in your stomach because you haven't had a bite to eat since that salad at 11 am. Seriously, Doug, you'd work with me again, right?
When Doug and I were chatting before the event he asked what I do for fun. The first thing that came to mind was, "I'm a blogger". It was weird, I've never identified myself that way before, never mind to someone I had just met. Funny though, it's still easier for me to say that than, "I'm a writer".
I did get to take home a gift bag, that, much to my delight, included a package of McDonald Land cookies and many other fun freebies.

Lucky for you. . I got their names and numbers. . . but one second. . . you could have clarified, that I'm "Good Looking-Married-Photographer Doug" ! ! ! The, "He was not. . " kind of makes me sound like I'm Quasimodo. . . : )
But to further this comment along, when I was introduced to you via e-mail, I automatically assumed that you, Jill, would be an intelligent, professional, courteous, and proficient assistant, which you were. And with a name like Jill, of course I knew you would be entertaining. . .
It was fun working with you, and I hope to work with you again soon. . .
I hope you get a laugh out of my diatribe!
Thanks again for all your help the other night, and I hope you have had at least one good meal since then.
Doug
I follow a blog called Charming, but Single. Doug Little is Charming, but Married. He's also very nice for giving me such a glowing review. Now hand over those phone numbers, Doug! ;)
