Small talk

I don't consider myself the best at small talk. Or the best conversationalist. I either can't think of anything to say or I just can't stop talking and I interrupt and just go into verbal dump mode. I just can't seem to find the happy medium. 

I feel like last week was a massive swing to the verbal dump end of the spectrum and by the end of the week there was this inner me (I swear there is a sane person inside who isn't an obnoxious conversation hog or silent Sally) that wanted to grab me by the ear and take me out in the hallway for a little timeout until outer me could get a grip on myself. Sadly, inner me didn't have the steering wheel.

Anyway, people are really nice and patient, but if anyone wants to volunteer to be my on the spot mother and keep me from going crazy you might be doing the world a favor.
