THE DIFFERENCE OF 1 NUMBER...

~

OK...I know that I have so much blogging to catch up on. Look for back blogs coming soon. But I wanted to tell this funny little story.

The other day I needed to get a hold of a friend of mine, ASHLEY RICKS. I was on the road and for some reason didn't have her number in my cell (or so I thought. It was under her last name, not her first.) Anyway, I texted my friend, Susie for the number. She sent it to me and I dialed away. This is how the conversation went.

Ashley: "Hello"

Me: "Hello. Ashley?"

Ashley: "Yeah"

Me: "Hey, this is Clarissa. Are you ok? You sound really different."

Ashely: "Yeah, I'm fine."

Me: "Is something wrong?"

Ashley: "Nooooo..."

Me: "Are you sure? You just sound so different. Oh, are you still sick?"

Ashley: "No, I'm just getting over it. I'm fine now."

Me: "Well, I won't bother you. I forgot that you haven't been feeling well."

Ashley: "No, it's fine. Wait...Clarissa who?"

Me: "What? This is Ashley, right?"

Ashley: "Yeah."

Me: "Ashley, what's your last name?"

Ashley: "Morrison" (or something like that)

Me: "Wow...I'm sorry. I have the wrong number."

I hung up the phone and Doug was totally laughing at me. He was like "You just had a conversation with a girl named Ashley, but it wasn't the Ashley you were wanting. How weird is that? I texted Susie and said that it was the wrong number. Apparently she had been super busy when I asked and just accidentally gave me the wrong number... just one number off. What are the odds of me dialing a number looking for Ashley (who had been sick) and getting Ashely but not the Ashley I was looking for???? Strange I tell ya. Strange.
