I am posting this so that I can give those who have not had any lunches with me, know that it is very difficult to do a spur of the moment appointment. I don't sit at my computer all day, and I do have a real life with a real job aside from this little hobby.
Like you I have family, so I cannot always answer my phone or send a text back immediately. So I ask that those of you who have yet to enjoy my company please keep that in mind, and realize that to send me a pm / text / email requesting to have lunch "now", or asking "hey, are you busy, want to see you now", just doesn't work for me. There is a screening process that I do, and sometimes that involves a day to get the other ladies to get back with me. I wish that I could be "newbie" friendly but sadly I cannot due to obvious reasons. I don't want to take away my half hour lunch meeting, but it may come down to that if I keep getting this. I am noticing even my regular lunch time friends who I have seen are now pushing for quick spur of the moment appts. I do hope you understand. Please don't take it the wrong way, but I am not into the quick "pizza delivery" lunch. I like to plan, and have time to get things ready for our meeting. If you have a lunch scheduled with me, please, please give me notice that you have to cancel, and that might mean giving me a days notice. It is not fair to me or those who are trying to schedule with me, to continually get last minute cancels when someone could have met with me in your place earlier on if you gave me ample time/notice of your cancellation. Keep in mind that there is some preparation and money involved on my end to set things up for our "lunch meeting". To avoid a monetary loss on my end I need some notice if you can't make your appointment.
Thanks for understanding!
Much kisses and hugs to you all!
