Week Seven Theme

Some people just need to be busy to have a full live and that it how it is with my friend at work. She is a wonderful person that would do almost anything for anyone but when she is in a bad mood then we steer clear of her. She has had so many interests over the years that we can’t keep track of what she is doing at any given time. She started seven years ago with being consumed with loosing weight. She joined Curves and that lasted about a month then came her membership to the YMCA where all she talked about was swimming and weight training. Before long the exercising was out and the South Beach Diet had taken over. She tried pushing the book on anyone that came near her and that was fine but she would get up set when no one would join her in the latest thing. We started out as a group moving from one thing to another with her but soon grew tired of her changing interest so often that we just gave up. After the weight loose era she moved on to being a Creative Memories sales person. Of course we all booked parties and bought everything we needed to start our memory keeping. She was always showing us what was new and telling us how much money see spent on her last order. Most times it was more then she made that week. After the memories were all cut and stuck in many photo albums she started working two jobs and being grumpy the day after working late. She came in with all these great stories of her other job and the products that were available at a discount to her. The second job lasted the longest of her interest just over one and a half years. While still working at her second job she began having an interest in photography. She took a class and that was all we heard about for about 15 weeks. Then she started bringing in her pictures that she would have blown up and framed. Some of us bought a picture but they still kept coming. The pictures soon gave way to cards she would make and she was always having a container of them out and trying to push them under our noses. She would get upset when fewer and fewer people would show an interest in them. She is a very passionate person in anything she does but along with that passion comes pushiness. It’s hard to tell what her next interest will be but we all hope it is something that doesn’t involve us buying something.

Whew, better your friend than mine. 'Pushy' seems an understatement. But this is a fine series you give us, full of one darn thing after another to give us-- not a three-dimensional picture because that wasn't your intent--but a very detailed aspect of one side of her. My only complaint ab out this piece is that this much material should b e broken into smaller grafs. But that's picky!
