Tonight Linda and I were treated to a make-over thanks to a lady from FG who is a consultant with Mary Kay. Cathy had asked me before to be a 'model' for her and this time it worked out. Lynn didn't want to come along but Linda was willing so off we went. When we arrived at the site we were met by a familiar face---my classmate, Connie! She is even higher up on the Mary Kay rungs and actually did our make-overs, while Cathy was in the meeting/pep rally in the other room. Another lady and her counselor were with us, too, and we were being observed by a tall young man, a nephew to Cathy who was signing on with MK.
Before we got entirely underway, we ladies were all chatting between ourselves and it turned out the other counselor, Kirstin, had also attended the worship conference. We compared notes (ha, ha!) and she agreed with me on my assessment of the Wednesday night "service" of which she was part. She told me that when choir members register for the Conference they have no idea of the music or anything they'll be asked to sing. In fact, she reported that the director, upon seeing the music for one anthem, announced, "I don't read Spanish!" Kirstin ended up singing in the questionable presentation that Wednesday night and expressed being relieved her mom wasn't there to witness to it. Yikes! And what are the chances that everyone seated in this room at the MK office would be WELS? I guess much higher chances than if it was held here in FL. Oh, Kirstin remembered meeting my friend, Diana, who was also in that choir.
Linda and I looked like a million bucks after our faces were scrubbed clean of our 'old' make-up and new layers of product were applied. We were given the task of looking one another over and determining what we liked best our neighbor's new look which I am sure is a prompt to getting us to purchase whatever the others complimented. Neither Linda nor I bought anything even though Cathy gave us gift certificates to use. I didn't intend to buy anything but came because I thought I'd be helping Cathy. But, for my bringing Linda along, I earned a bangle bracelet, and much applause from those in the meeting room where we finished our evening.
Because we looked so smashing, Linda and I went to the Kwik Trip so I could pick up a 12-pack of soda. I got the very last Diet Coke in the house and was thankful that I did! Lynn had stocked Mom's larder with Diet Cokes for me but I was getting to the end of them so grabbed one more to last me until I leave Thursday morning. Linda will be taking me to the airport that morning, and Mom might be riding along. She is torn so we'll see. It's not too early in the morning like some flights are, and in fact, we plan to stop at Festival first in order to grab the fresh cheese curds! Squeak!
