The Confessional OR Free Association with a Hint of Confession.
My friend Kearsie of Sounds Like Tomatoes has inspired me to copy her… *meow*
In other news – this is hilarious. No? I HAD to share.
Aaaanywho… Kearsie does this “Keyboard Confessions” thing. And I like it. It feels People Magazine-y. I only indulge in the likes of People and other celeb gossip mags at the hair salon or on airplanes. It is my pop culture education. Other wise I pretty much just spray glitter. And drink coffee.
Orsomethinglikethat.
My Confessions, because… well just because:
1) I do not host parties of the home-party kind anymore, like jewelry… make-up… whatever. I love and buy some brands out there, but choose to not earn the deal one gets from hosting parties. I have great and dear friends who are consultants for businesses. I just don’t do the party-host thing. I can’t.
WHYYYYY? Because once you invite 15 friends, hope for 8 and only have 2 show-up… YOU STILL INVITED 15 PEOPLE, WHICH, by law, MEANS YOU ARE ON THE HOME PARTY LIST FOR 15 PEOPLE. FOR 5 YEARS OR UNTIL DEATH in some rare cases.
Don’t get me wrong. I am a party girl. I love people, chatting, connecting, laughing. I WANT my friends to make money in their businesses and I want my friends to get good deals… But I am a guilty girl, and feel I have to buy stuff to help out my friends… and remember there are at least 15 people I invited to MY party… so — That’s, like 30 parties over the course of year…
…and I don’t care what kind of deal I get for hosting a party… it is not a deal in the end… because I either need to go to 60 parties in a year (or 30, *whatever*) and buy stuff. Stuff I may LOVE, I may WANT…
…but a free bottle of something from MY party won’t help me pay for 30/60/90 bottles of guilt.
You hate me. I’m sorry. I am almost not female because of this. I’m sure of it. Maybe #2 will prove otherwise:
2) I cried on the phone today. Been feeling weepy. A lot. But this weepy is cyclically familiar. SO I told my friend on the phone… “I’ll be OK. You just wait. I will probably call you later this afternoon to tell you I started bleeding.”
TMI? My amends. Hello! Female! *waves hands wildly* This is how it is. My life. And probably yours. Unless you’re a man, and if you start bleeding in the way I probably will be soon, then – I think you should see a doctor.
I am like, freaking Dr. Google.
3) Since making videos (have you subscribed, have you rated???), I have learned something about myself. I do this weird sniffing thing. On my piercing side. Gonna have to stop that. Oscar winners don’t have weird sniffers. Or maybe they do.
4) So, speaking of my nose piercing… she is sickly much of the time. But I will fight for her. Salt soaks everyday. It’s a pain, but the most passionate love endures abuse like I have endured. This is how I know I love Nosie truly, deeply.
5) I want to start calling my dog Kevin, Kitty. I tried it last night, and he totally came to me. My dog is so cool. And stupid.
6) I crack myself up. That’s why I go out to coffee with me so much.
7) I think lists should come in 10′s.
Which sucks if one doesn’t have 10 things. Just sayin’.
9) I love pizza.
10) My friend Jen introduced me to Jose Corona, and I love him. A shot of Tequila in your Corona… and a slice of lime. Arriba!
11) I hate pinatas.
12) I don’t know how to make my computer put the squiggly thing on n’s, like for the word, “pinata”.
*cheesy grin*

First time commenter, long time lurker-but I’m totally not a stalker, or anything, so don’t worry. Love your blog!
I had a home sales party once, and NO ONE showed up! It was awful-truly. Thank goodness no one in my cirlce of friends is selling anything at the moment, because I can’t deal with the rejection.
I totally wouldn’t buy anything at any of your parties (if you ever had one) so you would never be indebted to me:) See what I would do for you??!!! I’m such a good friend.
So this is the deal on the home parties. You invite 15 and 3 show up, but you planned for 15 so you are out the $60 for snacks and the 3 hours of house cleaning for 3 people…if you knew only 3 people would show up you would meet at a neutral location like Starbucks because cleaning your house for 3 people to eat $60 worth of food and then order a grand total of $50 worth of lovely stuff which will get you a hosting bonus of about $7 which you then have to add $23 dollars to to get the cheapest item including shipping and handling, but that doesn’t exempt you from the party invitations of the 12 people that didn’t show up and quite honestly at the end you are exhausted and out $90, but a very nice candle will show up in 7-10 days, oh, and then you will be delivering very nice candles to three people and at that point you thank GOD and everything living that the other 12 people didn’t show up.
The only party which is exempt from the above scenario is the passion crap. My friend invited 12 people to that and had 20 show up. And she has so many free sex toys she should open up her own shop.
haha! Love the comment above. I am totally with you here, Miss Jenny! Can’t do those at all! Can’t even step foot in them. The problem is that I love parties and being invited, so when they say, just come and you don’t have to buy anything…I get a tinge of excitement, think of the fancy food and wine that will be there and tempt myself. It is never worth it though…..I gotta be stronger!
Yeah, I don’t do the home party thing either. But it’s because I’m a stinky hermit and I don’t like people in my house.
