For some reason I feel compelled to share this very humiliating experience. Yesterday at 12:50 I received a call from a host I had a show booked with for today. She asked if I needed directions to her house. I said I was going to call her about that. I had host coached and I had done a party with her before, so it didn't seem like a big deal to be waiting until the day before for call for directions. She said "The party is at 1:00, right?" and I said "yes, 1 pm, that's what I have." Then something starts to dawn on me. "It's tomorrow, right?" Yes, you've guessed it, the party was yesterday!!!! I had put ithe date correctly on all the post cards I had sent her and the invitations I sent out for her, but some how in my brain the party was Sunday. I never cuss, but I made an exception! (Not while on the phone with her, though.) I hung up and started changing clothes while frantically yelling things for my husband to put in the crate. He loaded up the car and I was on my way. Her house, unfortunatly, is 20 mins away. While I was on the way there I called her to apologize profusely. I felt like such a jerk. She has had many parties and they're always just $150, but still, I didn't want her to think she's not important to me. She said she was telling people I had gotten a flat tire and would be there asap- so she helped me save face!
It was a little awkward to walk in with my crate and be "ON," but it went pretty well. On the way there I was at first thinking "I will get no bookings or sales off this show," but then I decided to change my thoughts to "I will fake it and pull this off." By the time I got there, I felt sort of relaxed and comfortable.
I am giving the host an extra $10 of free product and I told her that if she does another show with me (she's used several consultants) I'd buy the ingredients.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? I would feel better if someone had! I just feel like it was my worst nightmare coming true!
