Notes to the Gretchie Verse...from a drama queen


No, idea it popped up when I googled April Fools Day....

*April fools day yesterday. Proud to say I did not call my mother to tell her I was pregnant, because she then would have a coronary. Nor did I call any friends and tell them I just send them iPad's or I was coming to see them and I was at the closest airport. Although, I must say I do enjoy making people feel awkward.

*Took my hairdresser/friend to the High Museum yesterday for a tour. It was okay, I felt like I was reading off of a script (which I was) and suddenly after the 5th time of doing this it was boring to me.

*While I was giving a tour I saw the African American Curator.  So, I am talking to my friend about a piece of art and I look over and the curator is looking my way. I suddenly feel like ....like well think about it...she is the expert and I am training. What if I say the artists name wrong ? What if the information I provide is false ? Keep in mind I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to work as her assistant or on her team. So, I stop and stare at her and tell my friend...oh man its the curator. You would think that she was the president or the pope or something. I quickly finish my presentation and BAM the lady is on the elevator. In my mind I have 4000 questions to ask her. So, I am starring at her waiting to see if she recognizes me and I am shyly smiling. Yes, I jabbing myself with a knife in my neck in my mind.
SCARY !!!

*Hi I am Gretchie Love and I want to work in your department
*Hi do you remember me from last week ?
*Hi tell me how you aquire your art
*Hi, who are you with, is she a donor ?
*Hi, can we be friends
Yeah, all this is going through my head and we get off of the elevator. My friend says " What was that about ????"  Let's hope that she forgets me, the elevator, and me looking at her like she was the President.

* I haven't been sleeping lately. I go to bed and lay down and nothing happens. No REM sleep, No deep sleep, No nothing. Anxiety ? Too much caffeine? Not a clue and not a good idea. So, I had my CBS bible study today and had to miss it. I didn't have time to do the lesson, but I did commit myself to it and I haven't gone in like a month. I had this paper due today and cancelled all my commitments and turned it in. I am not happy with it at all. Oh well ....it is what it is....
