jianantonicWhere did I leave off? Talking to Amanda, the friendly Mary Kay lady. Yes. She offered to take me to lunch and talk about Mary Kay, and I got all excited about it. Not because I wear tons of makeup, but because I know tons of girls that do wear tons of makeup, and I figure, leave a couple of catalogs sitting around the office, and I'll do fine. It also gives me something I can work on during the day when I'm soooo boooored. So I wrote back to her and agreed to a meeting, which just happened. But I don't like to go out of order so back to yesterday.
After buying my badass new workout clothes, I went to LeClub for a swim. Or so I thought. Turns out, I'm like the worst swimmer ever. I was trying to do some lap swimming, cause yeah, fun exercise. NOT FUN. When the eight-year-old in the lane next to me was dog paddling faster, I was very depressed. I also got really short of breath really fast. I didn't want to get in the pool, swim two laps, and get right out, so I kind of floated around in the deep end (diving board was closed and all the kids were in the shallow end) for a while, looking like a megadork, I'm sure. After about 20 minutes, I figured I'd been in the pool long enough not to be looked at funny for leaving, so I turned tail. Next time I swim, it will be with someone I know, so I do not have to fart around by myself. But still, I got a good deal of exercise and didn't have a completely shitty time, so I'm going to call that a success.
I then came home and fell asleep watching Friends DVDs. I woke up in time for the Daily Show, and then Jer got home right after that and we went to bed. I felt icky but was able to fall asleep fairly quickly anyway, and I woke up feeling better. This morning, I went for a walk by myself, cause Jer's working a double today. It was a good walk, but I really wish I could find that minidisc player. That would require cleaning, though...blah. But again, good exercise. When I came home, I started reading the book I mentioned earlier, then surfed the web a bit, which catches us up to what I had to do when I left.
I met Amanda at Hank's for lunch. I was a little worried there'd be nothing vegetarian on the menu, but there was one wrap. It was full of veggies that I normally don't like, but as an ensemble, they were quite yummy. We chatted about Mary Kay and I decided to go for it. So I'm now a Mary Kay consultant, or at least I will be as soon as I get a little bit of training. We're going to set some things up for the next week or so so I can get started. I'm actually pretty excited about it. I have no illusions about making millions or even thousands, but a few extra bucks every month won't be so bad, either, and I'm sure I can get the ladies at work to help me out with that.
I have work at 3 tonight. I'll probably volunteer to work until 11 even though I get off at 9 because Jer won't be home and my raise just kicked in, so I might as well soak it up. I guess it all depends on how I'm feeling at 9, really;) Olga was going to bring me another paper. I like working with her on her writing. She's very smart, so it's not hard. It's mostly just teaching her about English grammar, since it can be very different from Spanish. Knowing what I know in Spanish is certainly helpful, too. Hmm, maybe Olga will work out with me in the mornings...but she usually translates in court starting at 9. I'll mention it to her.
I'm glad that my life has lots of things going on in it now. Keep up the good work, Meggo.
Peace.
