A fun kind of crazy!

We’ve all met quirky people in our lives – that “crazy” aunt, the “interesting” neighbor, and in my case, the “insane” older woman at the horse shows. We all know them. We love them, we hate them, but regardless, they fill our lives with interesting stories and color.

I mean, we all have our “quirks” about us. In fact, most people when meeting me for the first time probably think I’m crazy. I have no filter, I tell it like it is and at times, I’m a bitch. I’m not crazy, it’s just my personality. But it makes you think – how do others see you? Looking at yourself from the outside.

This weekend, I met an interesting lady, who I have since hired as my florist for my wedding. She was that awesome quirky, a little strange, a little scattered, but SO passionate about her job, her life, her livelihood, you can’t help but know she is going to do a good job. During my consultation, we were interrupted 3 times by producers who are filming their reality show! A reality show?!  Could this be the next big thing to Duck Dynasty? (I hope so).

My mother and I show up for my 10am consultation, at her home. We find her hanging clothes out on the line.  It made me second guess as to if we were even in the right place. She comes over to the car (in her socks) and says, “oh, I guess you’re my 10 o’clock!” 

Yes lady, I am your 10 o’clock! Needless to say, I was worried.  She welcomes us inside where we find her preparing lunch for about 15 people (I later come to find she has 10 kids). Our consultation takes place outside – in her garden! Acres and acres of gardens! For real, like 10 acres of nothing but flowers. 

We sit down. My consultation (minus the 3 interruptions from producers) was awesome! She was crazy, running back and forth to her house , in her socks, to make adjustments, grab samples, and even her phone. She knew exactly what I wanted, understood my vision, and was just as excited as I am about the big day. She was cool, in that outdoor, hippy, tree-hugger kind of way. Also, I come to find out that there is a chance my wedding could even be featured on their reality show! It takes those “different” people to make a reality show successful. (maybe my appearance on this will be my big break ;))

I’m excited! I think her craziness will make this day awesome! 

What are your quirks? Are you even aware of them?
