I pulled up alongside her and said: "uhh, this is going to sound weird, but are you on the Bike Forums?" She replied: "What are the Bike Forums?"
(-D'oh!!!)
I explained: "oh, well, it's this message board about various aspects of cycling, including commmuting, and I've been chatting with someone on there who rides a Jamis and has the same commute as mine. So, anyway, I thought you were her, but I guess you're not, so, er, nevermind!"
Her: "Ha ha, ok. Well, take care."
Me: "Yeah, you too. Bye..."

Then I sped up and rode off, feeling like a complete dork! Oh well... Anyway, if I see someone on my commute on a Jamis and it's NOT the woman I saw this morning, I'll try that again. Ha ha...
