As I do every year since my buddy Carol talked me into it, I was a (minor) celebrity waitress at the Loussac Library’s fund raising auction/ luncheon on Thursday. The idea is that the celebrity waitperson brings drinks to the table and hawks various items for sale before the lunch and auction starts. All proceeds benefit the library. I was carrying two drinks on my tray back to people at my table – a diet cola and an iced tea. I spilled the diet soda all over one person and, in bending over to try and save the glass that was spilling, managed to spill the glass still on my tray all over another person.
It’s a good thing I have other skills in life that do not depend on my ability to walk and chew gum at the same time.
And yes, the people were still very gracious and gave big tips for the library… even if some of the money got a tad damp from the soda sloshing on my tray.
