Anyone Have a Rock I Crawl Under?

Oh. My. God. I really am the biggest spaz on the planet. And the more nervous I am, the worse it gets.

I was asked for assistance today by somebody I quite like and respect, but I think managed to inadvertently insult him many times over in the space of about five minutes. Wow.

He was having trouble with the taillights of his gorgeous, shiny car (the make of which I won't mention as I'm not much for mentioning people's names or makes of cars on my blog, for some odd reason. Supersitious, I think.) and so asked me for assistance.

You need to understand. Gorgeous. Car. Fantastically expensive car.

I don't want to even breathe on this car, let alone get into it. I, the queen of causing chaos and mayhem pretty much anywhere I go. The woman who mashed in the side of a professor's car many moons ago ago (he was sweet and told the insurance company that he didn't know who hit him. I paid the deductible.)Okay. It was night time. I was working three jobs and taking full-time classes.

Still.

Anyway, me, who can cause damage without ever even trying to. Oh HELL.

Not a good situation for me. So . . .

I fell into the car. Fell. Into it.

Placed my foot on the clutch instead of the brake. Never driven a standard.

Couldn't figure out the proper way to get the left signal on. (Mind numb. In fantastically expesnive car that I don't want to damange.)

Fell OUT of the car (pretty much).

Then proceeded to tell him that his car was like a roller skate.

Tried to open the wrong door, which wouldn't open.

I think he would've had better help from the neighborhood tabby cat I've seen hanging around the building. Thank God the man has an excellent sense of humour. And I don't think I damaged the car.

Wow. I shouldn't be allowed out of the house until I finish the writing of this book. Christ on a cracker.

I'm still shaking my head right now. Wow.

Anyway, it's the weekend. I have marketing on the Hearts Afire book being released on the fifth. I've actually dropped a bit of cash on advertising for this one. First time I've done that. Eye on Romance does a really nice job of plugging books. I'm giving them a try.

Must prepare materials for the ad. Book cover. Both mine and Darragha's blurbs. Hmmm. What else?

Oh, must work on blog for Liquid Silver. Darragha and I are doing a Morning After blog on LSB's blog on Oct 6th. I have another blog entry to prepare for LSB sometime later in October, as well. I think the 18th but I'll have to re-check that.

I'm off to numb my complete and utter mortification at my own spazziness in triple chocolate fudge icecream. With peanut butter and hot fudge. Sugar-free, of course.
