Good news: I just went to pick up a prescription for my daughter and I impulse bought some new shiny red lip-gloss. I came right back to my cubicle and put it on. It's sooo sassy! Now I am motivated for my weekend assignments.
To wit:
- Smile at everyone I see - man, woman, dog, pigeon, it doesn't matter. Smiling is the number one signal that a person is open for business. I really need some practice in this area. I've been told more than once that I tend to look pretty uptight when I'm out among the masses. That is not good.
- Grab a friend and go to Barnes & Noble. In order to solidify my purpose, I hereby set a goal of talking to at least three men. I won't limit them to datable men. I won't even do a ring check first. Oh, who am I kidding, yes I will. But I won't let unavailability stop me from practicing saying "hello."
PS: I changed my comment settings so that anyone can leave comments and they don't have to be approved by me before they are posted. Unless I start attracting the crazies, I see no reason to be so selective. Now that I think about it, having a few crazies might even be fun!
Consider me a friend to be grabbed for B&N. I could spend hours in that place.
ReplyDeleteNice! B&N Sounds great... books, magazines, coffee...excellent "practice" setting, and...who knows???!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of books and such, A very sweet, very wise friend recently told me to take some "me" time and read something relaxing...and I think I'll do just that! ...so if you see me tucked in a corner somewhere at B&N - I may not be spying on your mission...(-;
oh, yeah...I'm with you on the crazies could be fun thing - once in while, in moderation crazy can be excellent and it's never boring (-;
Well then, consider yourself grabbed, Tanya! Melanie, your friend sounds like a genius. You should keep her around. Thanks again for your extraordinarily insighful words of encouragement!
