Tidbit Tuesday #26

Sometimes there are Tuesdays… And then sometimes, there are Tuesdays when I put off writing my last. paper. ever. Today.. is such a Tuesday. Care to indulge me? :)

So, growing up, I had this ridiculous list of things I was looking for in a husband. Among them: Asian; curly hair; foreign; drinker of bottled water; had to look good in an apron; sensitive; sweet; you know, all that fun stuff. Obviously, the chances of finding an Asian with curly hair was slim, especially in Sharon Springs. And needless to say, I reevaluated my list quite a few times over the years. But never, in any of my lists, was: funny. Truth be told, I’ve always thought I was funny enough for both of us. :) No really, I am.. But then Dylan came along. And he’s absolutely hysterical. Of course, no one else thinks so but me, but still.. I am so glad he’s changed my list. :)

Remember that paper I mentioned? Well, I literally have 23 words left to write. But still, I lack all proper motivation. Just think, if I had completely skipped Tidbit Tuesday this week, I would have already been done! But how could I possibly skip a Tuesday? I’m proud to say I haven’t missed one since Tidbit Tuesday #4, although I’ve come close many times!

Now, some of you may have already read about this on Facebook, but I just can’t resist retelling the story one more time.. The other night, I received an inquiry from a Prince Alfred Tola. And I quote, “Hi Alyse. This is a requisition for your fotography services. I am Prince Alfred Tola. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa. I am contacting you in regard of my wedding. My wedding is coming up on  June 26, 2010. I have been browsing the internet for a professional photographer  in USA when I found your contact. Pleese I will want to hire your service to  the photographer on my wedding day in Lagos. I am sorting an america photographer because I really want to make the wedding event a wonderfull day for my fiance. I truely love her.”

Ohh, what’s that? You thought your highness’s email was over? Think again.. “You will cover the whole events from Getting ready, Ceremony, and the Reception.  I want you to capture the atmosphere of the event so that we can relive the special day moment by moment, photo by photo, for a lifetime. Capture all those little moments that make the wedding day incredible. Also, I will want you to make an album from the event. I will prefer popular flush mount albums that are custom designed.”

For goodness sake, why don’t I just finish it off? “After a care review of your profile, I am  of the opinion dat you are capable to provide the incredible services as requested. Please accept my sincerest appreciation on behalf of my fiance, in advance for your willingness to render your services as I look forward to your prompt response to my request.”

Now for my response (which I will not be actually sending to him for fear of my life)… Ahem: Dear Your Majesty. I do not normally, and actually have never poked fun at a potential client inquiring about my services. Until now. 1) You are not real. 2) You are not a prince. 3) I want to survive, and not be kidnapped in a foreign country after “shooting your wedding.” 4) If you want any response at all, I suggest you not demand it be prompt, even if you are a prince and are used to that sort of thing. 5) Please refrain from bothering me again. Sincerely, Princess Alyse. :)

Countdown update! Four days until graduation! Ten days until the kickoff of wedding season! Thirty-two days until our wedding! Thirty-five days until paradiiise! Forty-seven days until Houston!!

I leave you with what kept me from this same exact paper yesterday. Please tell me what you think.

Thank you for reading through this very bizarre post. And as always, happy Tuesday! :)
