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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe four mins about my favorite bobs burgers episodes (which actually includes an essentials oils episode). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ginger<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plenty of great options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how did I do it? All those years ago? How did I get people to find and read loafe? And on a regular basis? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I STILL LIKE TO SUCK DICK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

mostly crochet tho. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
