So were sitting there and the men are talking work stuff and the women are talking fashion. I think I would have fared better in the work discussion. I am not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination.
One of the women, well call her woman A, asked woman B and myself what our fashion weaknesses are, you know purses, shoes, clothes? Woman B said shoes and they said all sorts of names I’ve never heard of. Donald something, Jimmy somebody, it was all lost on me.
Then woman A asked me, point blank what my weakness was. Um…well…I don’t really; I mean I’m not really…
Can anyone say awkward?
I don’t have a thing! I mean, I love bags, but they don’t come with anyone’s name attached to them. I do have a documented shoe problem, but again, no one’s name is attached to my shoes, and really it’s mostly a collection of really sad flip flops.
Since that conversation I’ve been thinking about what my weakness is. What do I splurge on? The answer my friends, it is telling.
Books and homeschooling curriculum.
I am a hopeless dork.
Can you imagine the conversation stopper that would have been? “Well, I’m not big into shoes or purses, but what I wouldn’t give to buy the newest version of Rosetta Stone language software and I absolutely can’t wait for the new Susan May Warren book!”
Yeah.

Oh, I am soooo right there with you. I save all the Rosetta Stone coupons I get, thinking that one day I'll be nervy enough to buy the darn thing. Books, curriculum - love. Clothes, shoes, makeup??? What is that stuff? Necessities that I must spend time and energy and money (wasted) on. I suppose the only other thing I love to buy used to be gardening stuff, but even that is not such a priority now - unless the kids are into it! :-)
I don't think you're a dork. I think you have your priorities in the right place - serving your family.
Spoken from one dork to another. :-)
