At least I am not the only woman who has difficulty dating...as confirmed by the new tv show How to Get the Guy. I would like to say that I have just seen the previews, but let's be honest I got shamelessly sucked in. I mean, trust me..I need all the dating advice I can get it seems! As you can see with the online diary two things were taught in this episode...dropping the hanky...i.e. getting him to notice you and to send out those pheromones that you are interested (although some people tend to exude this naturally) and how to get that first kiss. Basically sending out the signal involves maintaining eye contact for 4 seconds...which is a looooong time, smile, and invade personal space (closer than 4 feet away). They made this one poor girl go to a bookstore and essentially try to hit on men..it was very uncomfortable to watch. Needless to say I will now watch devotely each week...and take in all the dating techniques I can get...and just because I got sucked in.

I have enjoyed the last two days off...and of course with the nice weather have went to pool twice..working on goal #2 of the summer: get a tan. I love the sun and laying out but many do not enjoy the itching aftermath. As I am sure I have shared before there needs to be some contraption made to get sunblock and then lotion in that one area of your back that you just can't seem to reach. The itching can drive you crazy...I mean there is no way to reach it..what am I suppose to rub my back up against the wall like a dog? I mean I have considered taking those things you use for washing the dishes..placing some lotion in it and giving it a whirl..haha. Yes, my back is itching...would someone for the love come scratch it!!!! (maybe that would be a good way to meet my neighbors..haha.) Speaking of the pool...I fell out there today trying to situate my chair to the sun...yes, I am sure that I looked really cool...and even more so when my farm sounding (with a rooster crowing) ringtone went off. That' s me..the cool girl at the pool.

Some of you may know that I applied for a new marketing position at the Ridge...and I was really excited about it. Well..I didn't get it and it seems that it has alot to due with my lack of sales experience. I was really disappointed at first and still am a bit. I just feel like I need a change, but I am confused as to what direction to go towards. I have been working on getting my photography stuff more in line..the website complete..you can see some of the weddings i have done this summer there...jessicacampbellphotography.com...and I have an ad in the Breathitt County paper coming out this week. I have been doing some looking at around what it would involve to take out a business loan, etc. It is all a bit scary. I will figure it out..one day..I guess.
