Mistaken Identity: Episodes 74 and 75 (and, my first mistake)

by Sarah Morgan on October 25, 2008

Traci is disappointed that I won’t be coming to her Pampered Chef party. Which is a shame, really, as I do love me some Pampered Chef.

From: Traci
Sarah,
I called you this afternoon before I looked at my email. I noticed that you ordered some things so I guess that means that you will not be able to come. Thank you for ordering, but it is too bad you can’t make it. We will have to get together some time.
Traci

Someone with a mysterious sort of alias (doesn’t “pwoomer” sound like a Dr. Seuss animal?) has a delightful friendship with South Carolina’s Other Me, as well as a very nice babysitter, a lovely busy family… and a rather tenuous grasp of English sentence structure.

Hi Sweet Sarah,
Hows SC, my friend Caroline went today to visit Charleston, she has a cool apt. her sons at school there. Are your parents still going to visit you in Nov. I am hoping to make a trip there in Dec. maybe.. Nov won’t really work for me, As much as Id love to be there with your parents, So fun !
I went to lunch with my babysitter today she had to do a marketing plan on it so we went and ate, It made me So tired , I ran home and napped, now Sams at work and Bryans at basketball till 7. I may go clean my closet.. Well I was thinking of you today. Hope alls well. Whats new? Hoping to Ryan this weekend, all the sister in laws are coming to Lex for the races, so he and cousin Mike may make a trip so see us, havent seen him much, I think he’s really happy where he is. Anyways.. Love, P

And yes - 75 episodes in, I’ve made my very first error. I thought someone was looking for an Other Me when they actually were looking for Actual Me. It didn’t seem like I could explain the Mistaken Identity saga properly… so I just apologized profusely to Rebecca, who very probably thinks I’m a lunatic.

Are you new to these parts? (Hi Patty!) Check out how it all started, over a year and a half ago.

Mistaken Identity: Episodes 71, 72, 73

by Sarah Morgan on October 13, 2008

Maureen in Rhode Island sent her Other Me sister a lovely slideshow describing the world as a global village.

Oh, sorry.
One of my sisters changed her email address and I tried to guess!
I am glad you enjoyed the email!
Have a good weekend
Maureen

Connie in Georgia is asking me questions I don’t know the answers to.

Sarah,
Should I use the AASL standards since Georgia does not have any?
Thanks,
Connie

Georgia’s Library Media standards disappeared several years ago. We do have GaDOE policies. Many Media Specialists use the SACS, AASL, ALA, and ISTE standards.

Re: Hospitality Oct 7
If I have already emailed you from Amie French’s list sorry- This is the list for this year!
Hello Hospitality volunteers,
Thank you all for signing up to help with hospitality. We have 30 people interested in helping with hospitality this year! This is my first year helping out with hospitality and I am very excited to be a part of this group. We will set up a wonderful meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) for the teachers/faculty each month. Each month we will have a different theme for decorations and Meals. I will email everybody two weeks in advance before each function. I want everybody to feel like they can participate as much as they want. I realize life is busy and expensive so do what YOU can.
You can help by bringing an ingredient, serving dish, a prepared meal, decorations or helping set up or break down. If you can’t prepare a big meal than maybe bring one or two ingredients and as a group we can build a delicious meal!
Our first dinner for the teachers will be on Tuesday October 7 starting at 4:30PM. I want to do an “Italian theme” dinner. Tammy and Amie were telling me that we should have enough for 30 people and have around 2-3 main dishes, salad and bread. What I need help with:
Main dish- Pasta dish (1 person for 30 people –OR- 2 people for 15 people)
Main dish- Pasta dish (1 person for 30 people –OR- 2 people for 15 people)
Main dish- Lasagna (April )
Salad-
Bread-
Dessert-
Dessert-
Plastic pitchers- I will bring the ice tea
Decorations- I would love to have a “fall” theme (pumpkins, leaves etc)
Extra- Note for teachers, Set up, break down etc
I will be constantly emailing everybody the updated list. Again if you can’t bring a dish but can bring an ingredient I would love to cook it.
I will find out if your child could bring the ingredient to school to have me pick it up.
Because this is my fist time I would love suggestions for this dinner as well as future dinners!
Thank you, April

I’m sorry, you’ve sent this to the wrong Sarah Morgan - I’m afraid I don’t know you!

Re: Hospitality Oct 7
Hello Sarah Morgan,
Sorry- I am the PTA Chair person for Hospitality and Teacher appreciation at Crescent Heights Elementary school. I got your info from a sign up sheet that was sent home with your child. I hope this helps. Are you still interested in helping?
Thanks April

Re: Hospitality Oct 7
No, I think you’ve misunderstood - I’m sure you intended to reach someone named Sarah Morgan, and my name IS Sarah Morgan, but I’m single, childless, and live in New Jersey. I’m pretty sure I’m not the Sarah Morgan you wanted to be speaking with!

From: April
To: Sarah
Re: Sorry
No I don’t think you want to help out at a school in Seattle WA. LOL

Re: Sorry
Yeah, I’m all for volunteering, but that’s a bit extreme :) Good luck though!

Mistaken Identity 61-70

by Sarah Morgan on September 19, 2008

In the most recent episodes,  Other Me’s in West Virginia, Canada, Chicago, Michigan, England, and elsewhere enjoy British science fiction, participate in online collaborations, shop at Mexx, enter to win trips to Europe, want to see Kiera Knightley in The Duchess, become concerned about their retirement funding, purchase organic vegetables, go out for drinks, check out their friends’ face paint, and more.

Apparently, apart from the face paint, we all have a lot more in common than just the same name. And even the girl with the face paint looks exactly like my friend Annemarie. This is starting to get weird.

And if you’re playing along at home, the Other Me whose mom keeps thinking I’m her is the Canadian one. Mama Susan, IT’S NOT ME.

A selection follow below.
