Let’s give ’em something to talk about
I’ve decided that for my first toastmasters speech I’m going to talk about essential oils. Should be pretty great. four full minutes of essential oil talk.
Or maybe four mins about my favorite bobs burgers episodes (which actually includes an essentials oils episode).
Or my dog. who I love so hard. Four mins about my ginger binger ginger pie. I could use the entire time just rattling off a list of the various nick names I call her and the songs I sing her. LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS:

Plenty of great options.
Anyway my speech is at the end of the month. So I gotta write it and then I have to practice it since there are all these dumb rules. like I’m not supposed to seem like I’m reading or using notes, and I have to watch my grammar, and I can’t start sentences with and (or but or so), and I need to avoid filler words (um, uh, you know), and I have to use whatever the word of the day will be, and blah blah blah.
I was going to post a video of me practicing my speech, over on my new site, for people to watch and provide feedback. Except for there are no people. I have no people. There are literally zero visitors there. Sigh.
how did I do it? All those years ago? How did I get people to find and read loafe? And on a regular basis?
I guess it was because I was young and very stupid and talked about sex all the time and sucking dick, which I guess is (slightly) more interesting than the whirlwind life of a reclusive middle-aged suburban mom who likes to crochet.
I STILL LIKE TO SUCK DICK!
mostly crochet tho.
