I have to agree with Norm - really well done. I would have been shaking in my boots too, but I doubt if I would have had the nerve to open my mouth like you did. And you don't sound shallow at all to me, rather the opposite.

Not only did it make your day, you quite likely made hers too! Think about that.

Oh, and you're more than welcome to post again and let us know if any more comes of this.
