Mental notes

Notes to self on what I learned from this interview:

1) Smile already! When you're delivering good news, put a little twinkle in the eye. (And this goes for absolutely every single time you're saying something, because they will inevitably only pick up a fragment of that 20-minute discussion.) And when you're delivering bad news...well, smile more. You look like you're delivering a death sentence! I know it's Halloween and all, but, sheesh...

2) Turtlenecks do not look good on TV.

3) Even if you don't have a TV interview scheduled, do not wear said turtleneck to work the week of Halloween. (Remember? You made that same mistake on Tuesday when you wore a bright pink turtleneck sweater and then the local Fox station came by. That didn't look good either...do you not learn?!?)

4) A red shirt and brownish-red lipstick do not work. Folks, do not try this at home. And definitely do not try this on TV.

5) At least you don't look like the guy from the Charlottesville costume shop.

6) You are your own worst critic. [At least...I hope!]

Whatever lady,

The tneck was timely, festive and studious (think Kate Jackson on Charlie's Angels but 2008).

Looking forward to that red turtle neck in December or black on cyber Monday.

So I only spent $5.00 for a bag of candy and as of 9:26pm not ONE kid. It could have been because the whole front of the house is dark.lol..but I did spent $37 on political buttons and magnets....now that's scary.

I thought you looked very nice, and I definately think that you are your own worst critic. =)
