Yep. That's me. Call me a sucker or a fool - for both are apt.
I have been stopped three times on streets in Palo Alto or Redwood City by Greenpeace workers.
I have always listened intently and declined a recurring donation request.
I am not sure what happened today. Okay, maybe I do. :) Maybe it was the tall, slightly grungy, blue eyed, perfect teeth smiling guy that stopped me on the street in Seattle. I called him out on his blatant flattery, but he read me from the get-go. We talked about Utah, Nor-Cal, New Zealand, Australia, and Indonesia. He knows my job and where I live. I know his hometown, his next job, and what his aunt does for a living. After a half an hour of talking, I gave in and just signed the stupid paper to extricate myself. Yikes! That boy sure knows what he's doing. He can get anything he wants. The funny thing is, I knew what he was doing and yet I still did it! Yeah, I am a sucker to be charmed by the granola guy on the street, but believe me - not many women would be able to resist. (Don't worry, I'll cancel the donation after a month. It's a worthy cause, but I just can't afford it.) After I walked away I thought, " What did I just do?!" I have been laughing to myself over it for the last hour :)
Be warned: Ian is going to be a server in Alta Ski resort this winter.You might find yourself with a hefty bill and leaving an overly generous tip, if you're not careful. ;)

You are so funny Becky. But you have such a good heart! Love you!
You'll be here in Utah? We definitely need to get together. Maybe we'll come over-tip you. :-) Laura & Jonathan
So the only real question is "Was your number on that paper you signed and has he called you yet?" You are just as irresistable as he is, Beck!!
teeheehee. There's just something about a granola with good teeth.:) But I agree with Lissy...he stopped you for a reason, babe!
Granola and good teeth, that's almost unheard of!
And I agree, you are a total babe!
