Avon Calling????
So, I don't really know anyone in Rochester. Apart from the people that live in our house. They're all cool. :)
I'm also very, very anti social for some reason. I have a shyness and social inaptness which makes it much easier to roll around on the floor thumping someone than holding a conversation with them.
I'm attempting to overcome this as it does tend to result in social isolation, which is fine for me but not for the kids. Plus I need social skills to help them to develop the same.
So far I have joined playgroups or similar for four days out of seven for Evan. I even spoke to some of the other mothers. Today I was on a roll and struck up two whole conversations at Evan's toddler rugby group. I've never struck up a conversation of my own bat at one of these things before.
I've gone back to thai boxing and grappling because, well, hitting someone or choking the breath out of them is a social medium that I'm still more comfortable with than chatting pleasantly. Apparently I was impressive for doing this 3 weeks post partum but actually, see my previous points... I do it for the social contact.
This week I peaked. Some random women knocked on my door and said "Become an Avon Rep." So I said... "I really don't know anyone to flog stuff to." They explained that I could take brochures round locally and I thought.... hrmm: social contact, I'm supposed to be doing that. So I said "Yes!"
Apparently I'm an Avon Rep. If I ever phoned anyone I would start saying "Avon calling" but, naturally, I don't phone people.
So there it is. I have a degree in Genetics, a masters in Physics, my hobbies are punching and throttling people and I sell makeup.
If you need advice on how to create incredible fighting superheroes that look amazingly pretty... call me.
