As I peer out my apartment window and see the rain pouring down, I can't help but think "Man, my hair is going to get so messed up when I go outside," which to most of you will probably seem very petty. It has always been something my husband just does not understand – who cares what other people think? It’s true, who does care, except I am quickly reminded that I am one who does care. My mind goes back to the thought of being drenched by the rain. But, then I quickly remember that in the busy-ness of this week I did manage to purchase a couple umbrellas for just such a day as this. Not just any umbrellas – the kind of umbrellas that open and close with a simple push of the button. And, these are not your ordinary umbrellas – one is zebra print (SO fun) and one is leopard print! So, why did I purchase two of them? Well, the nice side of me may answer “One for me and one for my husband,” but that’s not true. I purchased two because in the chaos of my life I lose everything. I don’t have high hopes that either of these umbrellas will last longer than two weeks before being lost and perhaps found by someone who needs them more than I.
Why does it matter if I get a little wet? Well, typically I LOVE the smell of rain, love to jump in puddles and act like a child again, love to just stand in the rain and soak it all in (pardon the pun). But, today is yet another busy day for me - I've spent the morning preparing for a jewelry home show and around 3:45 I will leave and venture out into the wall of rain to be the glamorous jewelry lady I know will be appreciated. And, who would ever purchase jewelry from someone who doesn't have it all together? Oh if they only knew!!!
Yep, I think you are right with your question "who would ever purchase jewelry from someone who doesn't have it all together?" Doing home parties you kind of have to look just so and have it together. What jewelry do you sell?
ReplyDeleteI agree, you have to look the part if you want to sell the product.
ReplyDeleteI don't enjoy getting wet either.
And although I don't have much hair left on top, the rest likes to friz if it gets wet and then my whole day is ruined.
Just passing through...decided to stop and say hello.
Jackie,
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! I'm SO glad people understand where I'm coming from. I sell Premier Designs Jewelry - not many people have heard of this company yet but it's been around for 25 years. I LOVE this company and they have AWESOME hostess benefits...but enough about my business! :)
Nick1958, I had to chuckle a little when you said you didn't have much hair left on top because it made me think of my grandpa - he has what most people like to call the "horseshoe." Hopefully you have a super cute zebra print umbrella just like mine so that when it DOES rain, your day won't be ruined because of frizzy hair ;)
