I was reading through your livejournal (because that's what I do with new people who interest me- I ge vaguely stalkerish, but not really) and we have a bit in common. We both joined Mary Kay when we were 24, when we were looking for a new job. We're both engaged (yay!), and we both like the creative type stuff.
I joined Mary Kay in February, so I'm still a newbie at it, but I'm learning every day! (Whoops, I was 23 when I joined- I just turned 24 a week ago. No, seriously, one week ago. :D) My fiancee's best friend's wife had joined Mary Kay in December, and she was telling me that she couldn't go karaoke with us on Friday because she had an MK convention called "The Boise Blast", and she'd invited some friends to go, but she wasn't sure any of them would show up. I found myself saying, "I'll go, if you still have openings". So I found myself at The Boise Blast. And boy, howdy, was it EVER a blast! An hour into it, I'm sending texts to my fiancee, asking him if I could please do this, because I CAN do this, and do well at it. He asked if we could talk about it. When I got home, there wasn't a lot of talking. I asked, he said yes, I joined. And I LOVE it. I'd been part of a traveling drama ministry for five years, and from last summer when I left until January, I held jobs, but they were just jobs. I didn't have a job that I could fully support, one that I could really believe in, and get excited about, and get other people excited about. And that's what I was looking for more than anything else. I found that with Mary Kay. Now I get to set my schedule, so when the photographer calls, asking if we can meet at three, I don't have to say, "Oh, I can't, I'm working." I can say, "Sure, I don't have a party until six." Or if I get sick, I don't have to call work and cancel- I can just shcedule that week to be catch up, and phone calls, and all that type of thing, and reschedule my parties for the next week. And when I go to college, I won't be trying to balance a work schedule and my school schedule- I will have my school schedule, and I'll schedule my Mary Kay around it.
