Does anyone remember this post, the one I wrote for Lola while she was gone on vacation this past week? Yeah? Okay, well read on to find out why, exactly, I am a hypocrite...

I was feeling a little bit sappy and emotionally needy recently, so I composed the following txt message to send to The Boss...
Out-going TXT Message:
To: 207-XXX-XXXX (The Boss)
From: 207-XXX-XXXX (Me)
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. I am so lucky to have you in my life. You are the best part of every day, and I miss you terribly right now. @}~
After a quick proof-read, I hit SEND.
A couple of minutes later, my cellphone beeped, announcing an incoming txt message...
In-coming TXT Message:
From: 207-XXX-XXXX
To: 207-XXX-XXXX (Me)
That is quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, but I don't think you meant to send it to me. Wrong number, buddy.

I couldn't believe it. I'm not normally so mushy and sentimental via txt message, but the one time that I am, I send it to the wrong number! All I could think of afterwards was, Thank GOD I didn't write anything dirty in the message. That would have been much worse.
I felt like such a tool.

LOL Yeah or a picture of your goodies, that would have been awkward.
I don't know that you are a hyprocrite. BUT I hope you redid the text to the right number!
Hey, at least they have no idea who you are. Takes the sting out of being mortified ;)
Oops!
So did you resend it to the Boss?
HAHA. That. Is awesome.
Tee-hee! This is CLASSIC Badass!
Bet you made that guys' day - he probably posted it as well.
I LOVE IT!!! That is too funny.
OH MAN. I would have died.
That is hilarious. Hey, you made two people's day with your mistake. That is, assuming you resent it to The Boss afterward.
At least it went to a stranger and not to your boss.
Or your mother in law.
Or your father in law.
Or....yeah....that sucks buddy but it's hilarious fodder for the blog!
this was really funny - I'm going to have to be more careful when I send texts now. After reading this I'm going to get paranoid everytime I send out a message. lol - great post
Bwahahaha!
Seriously, next time send a picture of your ball bag. I'd laugh my ass off.
Heather: I'll never send a picture of my goods, for this precise reason.
Moonspun: I did re-send it to The Boss afterwards... after triple-checking the number.
Lola: I feel like I kind of know 'em now, though.
Employee No 3699: I sure did!
Sus: In an embarrassingly awkward way, yes.
Splodge: Yeah, he probably went to his friends and was like "Hey, look at this wrong-number txt I got today!"
Jen W: You should have been there.
Miss Grace: I'm pretty sure a part of me did.
SWAX: Yeah, except I don't really feel the same way about any guy.
MadWoman: True, very true. It was a blessing in disguise.
Tony: I always insert phone numbers by my Address Book now... It's idiot proof that way.
Aunt Becky: I'll make sure to do that. What's your number?
Dude, for some reason saying you're going to send a picture of your ball bag to "Aunt Becky" made me laugh way more than I should have.
Oh, I just love that he (?) texted you back. Quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Love it.

I have received several "interesting" pictures on my cell phone from people I don't know. I give my card out at alot of business functions so that may be the case or it's one of my coworkers toying with me.
Tony: Aunt Becky, as good of a friend with her as I am, would probably be creeped out if I sent her a pic of my potato sack. That crosses all sorts of friendship boundaries.
Me, You, Or Ellie: I'm assuming it was a guy, too. It was nice of him to let me know I misdialed in such a polite way. Thanks for commenting, come back soon!
Cape Cod Gal: "Interesting" pictures? Define "interesting", please.
