So here's the history, I met this host at the local home show and got her to book a party with me for the 23rd. I set up a time to meet with her to go over her host packet. She then stood me up. I tried calling her a couple time no answer. I then tried her again tonight and low and behold she answered! She explained she has lost her phone and had no way of getting a hold of me so she was so glad I called and apologized for not meeting me (which I wont discount the story since I like to give people the benefit of the doubt).
The FUNNY part of this was when we were arranging a new time to meet she mentioned it would have to be after 3:30 because that's when her "Anger Management meeting" was over!! I busted up laughing when I got off the phone because it was just something that I would never expect anyone to admit to me. We truly meet all sorts of people don't we.
 
Least now you know not to tick HER off....and I'll give you 3-guesses as to what happened to her telephone! LOL
