Today Was A Good Day!

   I've been looking for a tag for the front of my car lately. Not just any old tag either but something jazzy and definately something that reflects my work with HIV&AIDS prevention. Not something that I could find in the mall you know. So this morning I found one!!! Well, actually I had one personalized at my local "Second Hand Smoke is For You" stop: the flea market.  I had the artist put cocoEskimo and a red ribbon on it and I think it looks really hot!

     After that task was handled I had an even bigger task to handle and that was a 5 minute recorded speech that's due  on Tuesday morning! I had intended to complete it before the weekend, I truely did. But here it was Saturday morning and I had nothing but the outline written up. I mean I knew that I wanted to talk about what female condoms are and how to use them but that was about it.

     After I got finished shopping around town for a box of female condoms, with zero results because I was unable to find a store that carries them. Grrr! This was so frustrating for me because on the store shelves there were a million-gazillion male condoms in every store, but not one female condom!! I went back home to begin working on my speech. Thankfully I had a couple of female condoms that were given to me at the health department, so I used these to illustrate their use.

     I'm still not used to having to speak with applied discipline. At least that's what I call it when I've got to preview and review and do this and that during these speeches. So it took me a few attempts to get a recording that I can live with. It didn't help at all knowing that if I left out a single component that I could get a zero for my grade! No pressure at all right? riiight.;)

     In the midst of it all I try to remind myself that this is a process and once I'm finished with it, in the end I'll be a better woman and a better speaker. So let's rock! haha! I'm going to try and upload the finished product here on my blog so if you don't see it then I wasn't able to get it here. (Pull it up on youtube.com under cocoeskimo because I'm not able to upload it here unfortunately, but 1 out of 2 aint so bad!)

     In the meantime, take care of you and win, lose or draw I'm going to take care of me too!

Peace & Blessings,
