Crazy Beautiful Life
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself

Smooth Talker
Okay so I know you all know what I am talking about, the guys that can basically talk you into anything even if you don't need it, don't want it and definately can't afford it! Okay so I am in my apartment, trying to hurry up and get my stuff ready because I had to meet my clinical group in like ten minutes to leave for Sioux Falls where we had clinical. All of the sudden I hear a knock on my door and STUPIDLY just went right ahead and opened the door and there he is...the smooth talker. Immediately he has a big smile on his face, extremely charming and he starts talking to me about how he needs this certain amount of points so he can start his own business and then he says to ask him how he can earn these points, so I did and he starts talking about these magazines that I can buy and yeah so pretty soon he asks if he can come in and again I stupidly say yes and he is like so what would you like to get and I am like well there isn't really anything I need or want and so he tells me that I can send a magazine over to the troops and then he will get a bonus 500 points! SO i am like well sure I can send a magazine to the troops but just pick the cheapest one. Well before I know it I am shelling out 50 bucks for a magazine that I wont even get to read and that I would never approve of so this guy can get his dream of owning his own stupid business! Seriously how gullible can one girl be for a charming smile and a little flattery? Ridiculous I tell you...I need a lesson in saying no.

That's kind of funny. Too bad about the $50, but some soldier probably really appreciates it.
I have learned to pretend that I am not home until they go away. I have gotten better at saying no but it is hard, that's why I hide instead. He just got you in a moment of weakness because you were rushing around. Live and learn.
Hey Jenny, is there any way you can go into your settings and make your font a little bit bigger. Us old folks have a hard time reading the fine print.
Also, you should post some of your scrapbook pages and projects. I would love a little inspiration.
You'r the best!
Jen, he could have been a murderer!!! Sorry, I have a lot of fears! I agree with Kim...just hide. I also have a hard time saying no but am definitely getting better. Hopefully the soldier really gets the magazine..I'm also really skeptical. :)
Haha I know i am way too trustworthy apparently! oh well it turned out for the best, well in the sense that I didn't die anyway :P lol
yeah, been there done that. Most of the time I hide and pretend I'm not home!
