Every one of those stories needs to make it into a book. Mother of God, that thing about the swimming cap is priceless. And I now intend to carry a spare, clean set of panties with me wherever I go!

Hi Kate…ur story is hilarious!
I understand u re waving arms around when talking….every1 keeps telling me that I either talk 2 fast or talk WAY 2 much w/ my hands. I can’t help myself…it’s the Italian in me. *LOL*
Luv ur fast thinking though, nicely done. I would have probably woken up IG…especially that u say he was attractive & kindly asked 4 his assistants…he would have.
I hope Jasper comes home soon. Ada:)

Congrats for your flash of brilliance and a job well done.

And, in all likelihood, IG wasn’t asleep. In my experience so far, IG’s are usually overly-chivalrous, or oblivious to all.

This, however, could have been chivalry, masked in obliviousness. He didn’t want to embarrass you, so he feigned sleep. It was that, or he’d have to use your green panties to mop up… You can see how that would embarrass even the latin lovers, right?

Oh, what the heck do I know? LOL!

Great story – and I can relate.

Ciao for now!

It wasn’t your fault that ice water spilled – there were 3 tables put together as one and the tabletop was uneven. So that accident you shouldn’t claim. LOL

I have never carried an extra pair of panties in my carryon bag. I wish he would’ve woken up to you soaking up your mess w/ a pair of green panties. LOL

Good thoughts to Jasper. I hope he comes home soon!

I totally understand. It’s just one of the reasons my nickname is Disaster Girl.

I hope your cat comes home soon.

Funny story! I’ve never carried an extra pair of panties on my carryon either. But I will in the future!

You could look at it this way: at least you didn’t throw up on his pretzels, LOL.

I am unable to walk and drink. I still bear the scars of a tragic drinking and walking accident.

Poor Kate. I’m accident prone, too.

I sit in the same chair, usually in the same exact spot at work, and every day I hit the exact same spot on my shin. Seriously. The. same. exact. spot. I have bruises over bruises over bruises over a knot. The knot, of course, is growing since I keep hitting it. I’m the energizer bump-my-leg bunny. I keep bumping, and bumping, and bump… you get the idea.

Also, you are terrifically resourceful, lol. And I would have woken IG up with my cursing, so you’re ahead of the game (IE; Me), as far as I’m concerned.

LOL to funny )

I can honestly say that I have never kept an extra pair of panties in my carryon bag.

I was so excited when I was at the Dublin B&N on Friday and found two of your books already signed. I figure they were left over from the signing that you did )
