Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

I'm sorry I've been neglecting you.

Last year, when I went to Fall Camp (the 2-day Mary Kay training for my national area at The Canyons), I was sitting in the second to last row, starving, and realizing I still had two hours to go. All of the sudden, everyone on the front row was eating popcorn and drinking soda and I was painfully jealous. At that point I decided I would do whatever it takes to get on the front row next year.

Next year has come. And what I need to do is put my product on 100 faces by the end of October. This challenge was issued back in July, when it would have been easy to complete. 100 faces divided by four months is a mere 25 faces per month. I don't like to do things the easy way. If I learned anything in college, its that I prefer to wait and wait and wait, and then cram in the giant project at the very last second.

So October came. I had done 46 out of the 100. I sort of gave up. But then I heard one of my girlfriends say she had 60 faces to go and nothing was going to get in her way. So I made the decision to go for it come hell or high water.

Doing 54 faces in one month is no small feat. I've had to beg and plead and bribe people to help me. But its been fun. And its been worth it. Today is the 23rd. I have 22 faces to go by next Friday. Well, Thursday, considering Dave and I are going to see the Odyssey Dance Company's Thriller on Friday night. So I have 22 faces to go in 8 days. And I feel so confident that I will do it. I mean, I have four parties this weekend. I'm blowing this contest out of the water.

So my point is, Blog, I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. I've been busy succeeding. Hallelujah.

Love,
Jessica

P.S. Blog, will you please tell my dear friends who have let me borrow their faces this month that I say, "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK!!"? Thank you. I appreciate it.
