This is going to be really difficult, this reliving my phone conversation with Patrick Dempsey because OH MY GOD it was better than I ever expected.
And I don’t mean to make you jealous or anything, in fact, the reason I didn’t tell you about the call sooner than last night was because I felt like I was showing off and I did not want to do that. But now, you want specifics, right?
cuz I got’em.
The call was incredible. Patrick talked about his new fragrance and his passion and he said saucy things like “Beth is so pretty and she smells good.” no. wait.
That’s not true.
Seriously, though, he just talked, kinda like we were all at the same dinner table. (how mcdreamy would that be?) It was very easy, breezy, very “we do this all of the time” type of thing except we don’t and neither does he.
Then they opened up the call for questions and Stephanie went first and she sounded all sweet and nice. And after a few more minutes and questions they said “next we have a question from Beth Flsdjfdljf.” And I said “Hi, My name is Beth Flsdjfdljf and my blog is called I Should Be Folding Laundry.”
And then he laughed. At the name of my blog.
Now it’s a very little known secret that a year after naming my blog I wanted to rename my blog because OHMYGOD IT’S SO LONG. I mean, who would want to type out such a long URL? Yes, I am that lazy. But, I didn’t change the name, obviously, because it was always true. I should ALWAYS be folding laundry. So, I kept it and I started to love it.
And today? After PATRICK DEMPSEY LAUGHED at the name of my blog? I vowed to name my next child “I Should Be Folding Laundry.” That’s how much I loved the name of it. And then, he did something completely unexpected.
He asked ME a question. Which he had not done to anybody.
He said “do you do a lot of laundry.”
And I sat there, like stunned, like “OHMYGODWHATISGOINGONWHOAREYOUIMDYING.” I replied “no, but I should be.”
And then we sat there, like the awkward silence before a kiss and I didn’t know what to do, do I throw up? or pee my pants? Can’t decide. I know! HOW ‘BOUT BOTH! But, instead, I jumped into my question, which was pre-written out.
And then he answered my question and I honestly have NO IDEA what he said because I was on the phone with Patrick Dempsey. I mean, seriously, people, did you really expect me to be able to listen? Because I couldn’t, it’s not my fault. He’s just so hot. And poetic. He is, he’s poetic.
Here was my question because I know you are wondering “was there a certain part of the fragrance creating process that was a must have for you? The shape of the bottle? The way you wanted the scent to make you feel? Anything that was a Patrick “must-have?”
So, he answered my question and then he did something else completely unexpected.
He asked me another question. He asked me about my passions. “what are you passionate about?”
And then I died.
And then he asked me ANOTHER QUESTION, he asked me if I liked the fragrance and then OHMYGOD I think I died twice.
Friends, I’m happy to tell you that I REALLY do love the fragrance, it’s so different, it’s subtle and unique, it’s lavender and pitchouli, mixed with pepper and awesomeness. It’s wonderful. So, I didn’t have to lie to him when PATRICK DEMSPEY ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT HIS FRAGRANCE.
Picture me: DEAD. Cause I was.
and then? HE ASKED ME ANOTHER QUESTION. WE WERE CONVERSATING and I’m not going to lie to you, I may have been a little bit turned on (IT’S NOT MY FAULT, I’M HUMAN.) because his voice is so amazing and so damn sexy, I mean, for real.
This time he asked me about the packaging. I answered him but for all I know I could have said “I like tacos” in response, I have no idea what I said.
And then he wished me a happy holiday.
So, let’s recap:
Patrick talked.
I died.
PERFECTION.

Oh my. I’m so jealous. I just watched Can’t Buy Me Love today on TV! I love my geeky Patrick so much in this film that I put the kids to bed early. Who cares that it was only 10:30am….Mommy needed some alone time.

OMG you are absolutely hysterical! I actually just sent a link to this post to some friends who could use a good laugh. Honestly though, my husband is pretty dreamy, but wouldn’t mind smelling something that would make him smell even more dreamy.

Wow. The scent sounds amazing! All my favorite notes, in an unusual composition. Fingers crossed and husband’s neck at the ready. Thanks for sharing the wealth!

That is SO funny. I did a conference call with author Nicholas Sparks, and I think that we all felt that way as well.
I’d love to try this out. You described it well.

Can you believe I’ve Never seen an episode of Grey’s? But LOVE Enchanted. I know, pathetic! But McDreamy is McDreamy no matter where he shows up on the little screen, big screen, at the end of a phone call!

I love my hubby’s stubborness about fragrances – silly really! I have tried to swayhim a couple of times, but he is a die hard both on his fragrance and what he buys for me. I love patchouli though, so maybe I could sneak a new one in on him…..

What a lucky girl you are!! I love him as an actor, one of my favorites, and I love Avon. So I’m sure I will love his cologne on my husband! BTW, it’s about time my wonderful hubby tried a new scent.

Love, love, love Patrick Dempsey. As do many, obviously. His smile, his pensive look, all captivate me, most recently in Enchanted.

My DH never wears anything. When we first got married, Ibought cologne as gifts for him; but nope…would not do it. From what I have read on this Unscripted, it might just be the thing to break the ban on scent wearing in our home. ( Umm and that is came from a bon-e-fide person who peed her pants while talking to Patrick Dempsy, that wouldnt hurt either)

How exciting. I don’t know if I would have been able to speak at all. Can’t Buy Me Love is still my favorite movie of his.

Okay, sorry, but I am totally cracking up here envisioning you and your experience on the phone. Laughing …. and hard. Now everytime I see McDreamy, I am going to think of you. You are so utterly adorable; seriously.
Now, if this contest is open for us across the border, I would love to be considered. Why? Well because I swear that my husband is the best smelling man and has a way of wearing fragrances just right. Okay, let me rephrase that – bottle fragrances smell fabulous on him. His butt on the other hand …… not so pleasant.

I just watched him again, for the first time in I can’t remember how long, in Can’t But Me Love. I have loved this man for a very long time. Even when most of the free world thought he was a dork in that movie, I loved him.
Now for the possibilty that my hubby may wear his fragrance and in my dreams become him….guess what? I died.

You are a seriously lucky woman and I am sooo jealous. I would have been a stuttering idiot. Patrick is so sexy, he’s the only man who rivals my husband.

Sadly, my hubbie won’t wear any fragrances, not even on those once-every-five-year-or-so occasions where we actually go out somewhere together. (We’ll still remember how to do that when the kids get older….won’t we???) But I do think Unscripted sounds like something *I* would like to wear!

OMG! You are so lucky and I am so jealous! I truly enjoyed reading your post and tried to picture myself in your position. I, too, would have died.
What do I love about him? His face!
