Happy Birthday to you - Jamie!!!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Jamie. I am literally petrified to put my typical Happy Birthday photo on your Facebook page, since I have endured countless abuse from you on how stupid it is! Many birthday celebrators this year have fallen victim to our back and forth banter on their precious birthdays as we tease and laugh with each other.  Luckily , most (but not all) get our sarcasm - you WERE kidding ...right???

As much abuse as you give me, you make it up three fold with your undying loyalty and friendship. You don't let many in (if you think you are in...maybe not so much), but when you do....then we are the lucky ones.  Your uncanny ability to laugh at yourself (and me) while running a successful business  (since being the head of the Sunshine Committee at Coleytown didn't last) both on the retail and wholesale level never fails to impress.

 Lucy and Ethel have nothing on us!

Have the best birthday MONTH ! I'll try not to bother you too much (...but I can't promise !) 

xoxo Linda

Promptness is the Courtesy of Kings

Jamie is nothing if she's not prompt. She may promise to pick you up at 7pm sharp, but have no doubt that she will truly arrive at 5:30...slightly annoyed that you are not ready....dropping her keys loudly on your table and then tightly clutching them again.  Your magazine section while she waits must not disappoint. You don't live in a dentist office...do you? No, she is not interested in a low fat recipe for Chicken Alfredo from Redbook!

Everything our girl does is early.  She is ahead of trends, and has her pulse on the latest jewelry movements. But her precise planning may come at a cost to those nearest and dearest.

Her husband was quite surprised at the timely 50th birthday party she threw for him…especially since he was only turning 47 that year!

Happy 21st Birthday Jamie…sorry if this is a few years late !!!

Acceptable Topics When with Jamie

Please make sure your conversations are interesting when you are with Jamie. If they are funny too...an added plus, because our Jamie has a wonderful sense of humor and loves to laugh.

Avoid, at any expense discussions related to Real Estate. If you are renovating or building a home...do not offer to show her your house plans or discuss your septic size. She is just not interested.

If you are unlucky enough, as I am, to actually be in the Real Estate business...tread lightly. If someone in her company (or even her ear shot) asks you anything at all related to Real Estate, change the subject quickly. Best if you can redirect the attention to one of Jamie's top interests.

It is acceptable to converse on the following subjects : Jamie's beautiful hair, her great shoes and handbags, your admiration for her general style and business acumen, how great her husband and kids are (as long as it is directly related to Jamie's doing), The USA Network, and of course Yoga!

Jamie is passionate and interested in many things...Real Estate is just not one of them.

Happy Birthday Jamie...Happy Birthday to you!

If it is your good friend, Jamie's birthday...you should give her a call.

Make sure you wish her well...and quickly get off the phone...

SHE IS BUSY !

SHE MAY BE ON THE TREADMILL...

How do you think she stays looking so lean? ...she's not that young, you know ! It's work. Don't you work????

Don't Bother Jon Either!

Jon doesn't babysit! Don't ask him!!!

Stop Talking - You Are Wasting Her Time !

If Jamie calls you to see if you want to go out for dinner or the movies, and you are not available, please do not linger and ask her annoying questions like "how was your weekend", or "do you want to pick another night".

She needs to move on quickly if you are not available , and you are clearly just wasting her time. You are of no use to her at that moment. If you become useful again , she will let you know!

Bluetooth is for Amateurs

If you are a Westport Policeman and you see Jamie Camche driving while talking on her IPhone and not using Bluetooth.....leave her alone......she is busy...she is working.....can't you tell?

Please.....Westport Policemen, you must have crimes to solve, high school drinkers to chase down and 16 year old new drivers driving their friends illegally to catch.

She is busy...she is running a business you know!
