As some of you know, in addition to working a full time job, raising 2 kids, and all the junk that comes with that, I do Avon. Its a "hobby". That means I don't make much off it at all. They (the evil management at Avon) try to convince us every year that I will make $$$$$ like crazy at Christmas time. I have been doing Avon nearly 5 years now and Christmas time is always my worst time of the year. Except this year. I just completed a fundraiser for a high school in La Pine (the city just south of Bend that just got their first traffic light AND voted to become a city) and did my best campaign EVER. In addition to that, I have my first Avon party on Monday. I have never done one as its not Avon's thing to do parties. I wont do much for it. I am sure it will still do just fine. The long and short of it all is that I have been BUSY!
I have been wanting to write a lot. I wanted to do a weekly commentary on Real Time with Bill Maher, but now the show is on break until February. Nothing to talk about. I want to talk about how I am doing with the whole dead dad thing (but I don't). And I want to talk about how crushing the whole Kim family thing is (fucking tragedy in my backyard). But I will talk about it later. That wound is too fresh.
Mostly, I want to talk about things I have been avoiding talking about with friends, family, my husband. Crying in front of others is not something I enjoy doing. Crying alone in front of a computer screen seems much more appropriate.
In any case, when I have a chance, I will write more. This is important to me. I always wanted to be a writer.
Also, when you get a chance, check out Elizabeth's site. She needs some prayers BADLY. Send some her way, please.
