Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

As proof that my life lacks even the subtle hint of interest, I present into evidence my day yesterday. Yesterday I fell into the suburban housewife stereotype and I fell hard. Yesterday I went to my first sales party with someone who was serious about selling me something. Now, it wasn't a Tupperware party or a Mary Kay party; it was something much more deviant. I went to a Creative Memories scrapbooking party. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to speak out against the at-home sales reps. Everyone has to do what they can to get by. I even did Body Shop at-home sales to get the free stuff because I couldn't support my body care habit by any other means. Why I'm in total disbelief that I went is because I never intended to buy anything. I went because I didn't have anything else to do on a Saturday afternoon. We had tea breads and made scrapbooked cards and I got to talk to adults. When the catalogues went around I just leafed through mine then pretended to be engrossed in conversation when it was my turn to order. *Sigh* What has my world become?

Comments:
How about organzing happy hour with some old friends or former co-workers?

I hate those sales parties. The only one I ever bought anything from was Pampered Chef and even there I bought a couple of small, inexpensive, items.
