Oct. 21st, 2012 08:05 amNothing like being in charge of the house to remind me how much happier I would be if I had my own place. Also How much happier I would be if I had less ...things. I am failing at working on this, mostly because I'm hardly ever home. I seem to have become majorly more social due to being within easy access of a friend in the city. Nothing like sitting around someone else's kitchen and making food and talking about people at work who drive us nuts (I have a much lower number thankfully and most of them are customers)
I did face painting yesterday at work, and everyone was all about how super good it was. I didn't feel it was quite that good. Its hard to use a paintbrush to draw on small faces that are also eating a cookie or fidgety. There was this one "cool" kid who waiting for face painting but didn't want to have anything to do with the pumpkin decorating table next to me. He was sat super still and the spider he wanted on his face coincidentally came out the best of the day. I ended up drawing a unicorn, horse, vampire, angry robot, spiders, a pumpkin, ghost, witch, cat, whiskers and a little pink nose for a 2 year old, and finally a pug for our marketer. I did something for the meat guy who was grilling outside too. He wanted the weird eyelashy thing from clockwork orange. I had very very little idea what he was talking about and now that I saw it larger online and not a smartphone, it could have been better. But, super creepy being that close to people's faces. It didn't help that the second thing I did was for the meat guy and I hadn't really detached from how creepy this seemed to me. I'm glad I have that ability though. also important thing, don't ask kids questions while they are sitting there because they move when they talk WHO KNEW! That part ended quickly.
I had to keep going back to my office to get different things. Once when I was gone to get the mirror I keep in my purse, I came back to people having asked if I did birthday parties. After the second person asked about it and gave me her card, the guy from meat and the other admin person running the pumpkin table were talking about how I could make a ton of money off of doing this. Then when one of the moms later was asking if I do art outside of my store the guy from meat was flailing around behind her trying to get me to say I did parties. The allure of money is so low for me that my own shyness easily trumps it every single time. I remain afraid of the unknown. But I do need a newer car that doesn't quit randomly.
corn maze happens today. tomorrow I do nothing? hopefully I feel like cleaning. I have managed to do my laundry regular though. this does mean most of my bed is covered in clean laundry right now. yay?
