irish voices: hi rachel!!! it's sherry & terri from irish quilting magazine.
i almost faint. for real.
me: oh hey yall.
of course i said hey yall. not. even. joking.

sherry: we wanna pick up your almost irish design for publication.
me: *crickets chirping*
sherry: are you there rachel???
me: *clears throat* yeah. sorry about that.
just so you know...people are staring at me because i'm jumping up & down in target.
sherry: HAHAHA. you're in target???
me: yep. HAHA.

my thoughts: good going rach.
you basically just told an editor of a magazine that you're a loser.
hi-5.

sherry: *still laughing at me being a loser*
rachel: *i'm doing that nervous OMG laugh*
