A Star Is Born!
The most surreal thing happened to me today. There I was minding my own business, packing the shopping at Morrisons whilst daughter answered the phone to hubby who was asking if I'd remembered the sugar coz he was gagging for a coffee (which, incidently I had!) when the bloke behind me in the queue suddenly asks, "Do you write a blog for the News & Star..?" So I instantly look up to see who it is and I haven't the foggiest! Just some random bloke doing shopping with his family. I reply, "I did, but I don't anymore." Neglecting to add that I now write an occasion blog for the Times & Star, whenever I remember to do it, or more importantly, have something to write ABOUT!
Anyway, he starts harping on about how you know when you see someone and you instantly know the face but can't put a name to it, then it just clicks! I politely smile and laugh with him then get on with the subject at hand, wrestling yoghurts, chicken and the BOGOF crisps into my bags, really hoping that he isn't some stalker type person who's gonna check out my shopping and follow me home to "see how the other half lives". Not very likely obviously, but you know how it is these days, especially the way my mind works anyway! I don't know why, but I really didn't feel the need to tell him that I'd passed my driving test, therefore rendering the blog useless, or even the real reason for my "resigning" from the site, I guess I just thought he'd realise from the fact that it was just me and my 9 year old daughter!
I think it may be a regular occurence now though. Not the sitings and stalker like qualities, the shopping expeditions! We were round, packed, paid and home within an hour and it usually takes twice as long, with the added bonus of wrestling sweets and biscuits out of the trolley or saying no to everything, and that's just to the hubby!!
I'm really, really hoping now that it wasn't a member of THIS forum and they got the name of the paper wrong... If it was, then I sincerely apologise, but I was caught off guard and the fame has got to me!
