The HR Director and Me

I am not one to usually get shaken while talking to people but there seems to be one person who seems to consistantly cause me to get all hot and sweaty (in bad way) and make me jumble my words and that is the Head of HR. It is like I am on a perpetual first date. I just came back from delivering two timesheets that a couple of my coworkers didnt send over friday. It should have been a quick breezy hello/good morning and gone.

How the conversation should have went:
Me: Good Morning - Here are some time sheets that didn't make it in on friday
HR: Thank you.
Me: Have a good one!
I Leave the Room

How it really happened:
Me: Good morning! Here are some time sheets th-
HR: Thanks.
Me: -at didn't {-commence panic - Do I stop? Do I finish my sentence? say something else? Lets do all three! Brilliant!} mmmake itwa ina on freidayyy.

{Oh no ! I just totally had a jumble of words fall out! More panicking. Now what? FLEE!!!}

I Turn and leave as fast as possible
While Fleeing the room As fast as I can -

Me: Have a gwood oneb. {Damn it man! Fleeing and More jumbles? Geesh now she thinks I'm at least socially awkward, perhaps have a speech impediment, and/or possibly just plain dumb}

Needless to say its the I am putting way to much pressure on my self to make a good impression and so instead falling flat on my face. I guess I just need to take a breath from now on before stepping into her office. That and play it cool and relax. Or practice by going on a bunch of first dates, though...I don't think Becky would approve of this last solution.
