Right Brained Girl in a Left Brained World

Ok my BLOg Friends..... MORE than once this week

I have realized that I am a RIGHT brained girl

living in a LEFT brained WORLD..

I sometimes forget how hard it is for people who think like me

to understand how the rest of the world operates.

I really do try....

but it mostly NEVER makes any sense to me....

It all feels like BIO-Physics !!!!

ANYway.... During class on Wednesday

(of which I hope I was not being graded)

we made pillows...

WELL HELLO.... I do that all the time, so I assumed

this would be a walk in the park for me.

WRONG !!!!
SPACE

We had to do it with patterns and marking lines,

and measuring stuff exactly and

FOLLOWING RULES !!!
I've never been very good at that...
space

So.. to make a LONGGGGGGGG story short.

I messed up and had to rip my seams out 3 times.

2 of which my instructor assured me was the machines fault.

space

Here she is laughing as she tried ONE MORE time to show me

why MEASURING was important.. haha
space
We even had a new guy show up to class (AN HOUR LATE)
who also didn't even come to the first class,
AND... he even finished his Pillow before I did..
NOW Seriously.... what is wrong with my brain..
Something about what she was saying
was not anything I wanted to hear I guess,
therefore I think it kept traveling in....
and then right straight out...
space
Then... today I had a job interview..
It was a part time job...
so I figured why not/ I could do most anything for 20 hours...
WRONG !!!
The 2 women who own the business were just darling.
I would have loved to come in 20 hours a week to VISIT...
but as they were describing to me what the job required
I know my face was curling up like a sour pickle..
space
I finally said...
" I would love to be here 20 hours with you guys...
but the truth is I would HATE this job, and
you 2 would HATE me in a couple of weeks."
I can not believe those words actually came out..
but they did..
I must say they both did LAUGH...
and said thank you for being honest.
I knew it was just WAY too many details and paperwork
for me to do with any JOY at all.
When I left their office
they were hugging me goodbye
and I said I'd stop by sometime for LUNCH..
space
May we never forget to be TRUE to ourselves...
Some days peace of mind is the best treasure we've got.
