cheesy salesman

I'm telling you what, my biggest pet peeve (besides someone smacking - ugh) is when I'm working with a client and I get interrupted by some cheesy sales person off of the street.  Sure walk right in.  No worries.  My client doesn't care that your taking up her time.  She only has half of her color applied to her head.  Why don't we sit down and talk about what your selling.  We can deal with her hair later.
Don't come into my business with your song and dance to tell me about how I'm missing out on the next best thing.  Then tell me it's free.  Nothing is free.  That's when he smiles at me and says well cash free.  What?  Are you kidding me?  Buddy, if you want to sell me something and really think that I'm going to be interested in it, then first you need to make an appointment.  Second, you need to feed me something.  Anything really.  Just to show me you appreciate me taking time out of my busy day.  Third, be honest.  I'm not stupid.  Lay it out there.  Be real.  Otherwise you get the ugly Debbie.  God knows, I will be honest with you.  I don't have that sensitive gene.  Skipped right over me.
If that doesn't work.  Make sure I'm scheduled to be off and talk to Jon.  He buys into just about anything.  Good luck.

Happy Anniversary

Today is the day I think?  15 years ago today.  It was a wednesday.  Jon worked until 2:00.  While I tried to find the appropriate wedding dress to get married in.  That dress turned out to be one hot mess.  I mean really?  Navy blue dress with a huge bow in the middle.  Cropped Jacket to match. I wasn't going to a business meeting for the love of God.   I was getting married.  Wow!
The ceremony was a quick one at the court house. A simple one. I think they were in a hurry, because both dates are wrong.  From the receipt to the marriage license.  The license says I'm 10 years older than what I am.  Eh.  We had dinner at the beautiful Four Seasons Resorts.  Jon cut some flowers out of their front garden. He wanted to make sure when we posed for our wedding photo in front of the Limo (that was there for someone else) I would have a gorgeous bouquet.  Entertainment immediately followed at the casino.  Our best man, Maid of honor and ourselves.  WINNING
No big deal.  No big wedding.  No big reception.  We didn't spend thousands of dollars on flowers, photos or invitations.  We didn't have the desire for that.  It was about us and that was it.
I love knowing that I always have someone on my side.  That when it comes right down to it.  It's Jonnie and I.  It's still that simple.  Happy Anniversary to my best friend.  Now....  lets go get some sushi.

friendship/death

As I was running today, I was reflecting on the life of a new friend.  Unfortunately I did not really get to know him for very long.  He lost his life last friday night and I will be attending his funeral this evening with a group of girls from work.  As, I was thinking of him, I came to realize how short or long life can be.  I wonder if you live till your 100, do you think wow - that went by quick?  They have a page on fb that you can leave funny stories of Adam.  Because he was that funny kind of guy.  Trying to hit on a girl at a restaurant as she is walking into the bathroom.  She say's (with a frightened look on her face), "I'm only 16".  He of course say's "Make sure you friend request me on face book".  I'm reading some of these stories and come to realize most of them have to do with him doing crazy things and not wearing much clothing.  Which of course (for whatever reason) makes me wonder what I'm going to wear to the funeral tonight. Something simple?  Something black?  Or just my undies?

We only have so many real friends in our lives.  We have a lot of acquaintances.  You know - Hi, how you doing?  How are you parents?  I really don't have much else to say, so I will stand here for the proper amount of time and then move on.  But, true friends.   I mean really good friends, not family friends that you have to love.  Well maybe you don't, but I do.  Family is family (that's a whole other blog), I'm talking about no blood.  The person  you could count on for anything.  They are rare and should be cherished.

I think I may have learned something important today.  If you have a friend that you have lost as I have (I'm moving on to another friend.  Sorry, try to keep up).  Not thru death, but differences it may not be to late to make a mend.  To have no regrets.  I wonder.... if I broke my leg out on the trail and had my phone, would they still come and get me?  Would they still do anything for you despite your differences?  Is that a true friend?

Peace and love, Debbie

My first blog

Who would have thought it would take me this long to blog?  I mean, I'm writing a book.  I could just share my opinions on here.  Why work so hard on chapters, grammar, editing.  I could have just as much fun on here.  Well, we will see won't we.  Ready, set, GO!
