Soccer Moms

Quote of the Day:

I am cursed. I have this uncanny talent of being able to recall names and faces. It usually is pretty awkward because I can call people by name that I met briefly years ago. Kaden just started fall soccer last week and I recognized a mom and son from his team last spring.

Calling the woman by name, I chit chatted away about how great for the boys to be playing together again this year, etc. She just looked at me with the biggest blank. Finally after several mins. she said, "Oh yeah, your husband is the one with the camera right?"

Yes, that would be me. The one with the husband with the camera! Here's to another great season of soccer and soccer moms!

HOW FUNNY!!! :) I only WISH I had your curse! Seroiusly! :)

Now, just think though--if your husband were talking to someone what they would say to remember YOU... "OH YA, Your wife is the one who does everything meticulously, who is cute and fun, and who has the most gorgeous tan--year round. She's the one who is crafty and organized, and spontaneous!" Yep...pretty sure that's what they would say.

Me too....I dont' understand how people can't remember things like that either.

I can't ever remember names, just faces...which I think may be worse. Sometimes I will meet people and during our converstaion have to ask them again for their name. It is horrible.

I have that curse too! And often I hesitate to talk to those people because Im sure they dont remember me. But if they do and I dont say anything, I feel rude...

It's Hollie Arfmann (Price) and I just stumbled on to your blog, but I have been wondering what you have been up to, so I'm glad I found you! I can't make any comments, however on the soccer mom thing because my girls aren't in to soccer. You're family is absolutely beautiful!! I also thought it was an interesting coincidence that I have a Lauren and an Ava too!! Send me your email and i can send you an invite to my blog. It will be great to keep in touch. Hollie
