I finally got my hair cut the way I've been thinking up for months. I wanted something different. Something that could possibly make me look older...or at least my age. I think I have succeeded but then again I never thought I looked 16. I have front bangs! I had side-swept bangs for over four years and now it's different. I have to try really hard not to flick my head to the side. It's a habit I must grow out of. The bangs take some getting used to. I didn't constantly have hair in my eyes before. Now I do. Also, it's a bit shorter. About 4 or 5 inches shorter. And a lot more layered. I really like it. Maybe I could sneak into a bar now!! And order myself some chocolate milk!
Not many girls at the age of 18 can say they've been on a business trip. I have. And I never ever ever want to go back. My hours went from 4 to 11 to 14 to 17 hours a day. They gave us no breaks to sit down, only 30 minutes to eat (which it took 15 minutes to walk somewhere to eat). Our feet were killing all of us! Aching and throbbing! There are a lot of smokers in Denver and some of the guys there should try not to subconsciously follow girls around. It tends to freak them out!! (My new friend and I were walking back to the hotel at about 1 in the morning. It was a bit scary. All the weirdos were out.) The temps hired were also very intimidating. Some were super helpful and I wanted to keep them. Others wouldn't do anything and were pulling out their gang banger switch blades to open boxes!!!! Gah! The Scentsy Consultants are...crazy. :) They were fun though. At least most of them were. Some care to much about the little details. They get angry easily if they don't get something or if we dont know the answer. I don't get it. Heidi and Orville (founders) are always talking about generosity, giving more than you take, not feeling like you are entitled to anything etc. And then I go through the Scentsy Success store and find empty packages (stolen goods) and people saying that because they are Superstar Directors they should get free stuff and be given more things than others. Um...ENTITLEMENT!! Seriously? It made me sick. Heidi and Orville are amazing. Never doing anything for themselves. Always giving back. And yet people steal! Right after going to General Session and listening to Heidi talk about inspiring good!
I was in charge of games and had a bunch of my stuff taken. The consultants got really into it though. At one point I spent three hours spinning a cardboard bottle and handing out free stuff. There was a massive crowd around me. I was beginning to get claustrophobic! Although I hated some parts of going to convention i did meet a lot of great new people and I now how good this experience was for me. I am almost completely over shyness! I was totally myself with the temps, the coworkers i didn't know, the consultants etc.! (pretty much every time i meet new people they mention something about my eyes. Yes! i know my eyes are large and expressive!!! Stop bugging me about it!) I am so glad to be home. It's over. I can breathe.
Breathe in smoke! When I came home I heard about the Highway 16 fire in our area. There are hills surrounding my area that are nothing but dry sheet grass and weeds. Lightening struck the ground and caught the back hills on fire. 4800 acres burned. 3 houses were completely destroyed, only chimneys left standing. Many were evacutated. Everything is black. The sky was dark in the middle of the day. It didnt come by my house but it could have. Some of those hills are my backyard! My family could see the flames from our house. They were about 6 miles away. No one was hurt or injured and neither were any animals but the hills are black. And three familys no longer have homes and have lost everything. It was intense. I should give them my clothes. I have too many items anyway.
