"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."
Turns out it was a Pantene ad in 1980 -
Well, I thought, 'she must think she's beautiful.'
And of course she was.
Still.
That was a little braggadocious, I thought.
'Course she was advertising a Pantene shampoo ...
that could make us all beautiful.
AS IF.
Anyway,
now I'm on kind of a mini-retreat.
Solitude.
Alone time.
Just me, myself and I time.
I know some of you - with small children - or with demanding jobs that require your every free minute -
well, you might envy me.
I've gotten away.
Well, I've just gotten away one day early before some business meetings...
but I'VE GOTTEN AWAY.
And I am loving it.
You see, I'm basically an introvert.
Oh, I can be the life of the party...
but after the party I have to go back into my girl-cave and 'regroup', 'recupe', get 're-energized.'
I really think my twin was just the opposite.
Thanks to her, I went to parties ... and had fun.
Then I'd have to go home and be a 'homebody' for a while.
I'd have to 'debrief'.
She didn't need to, I don't think.
And that was her 'spark'.
Ah, but I have come to terms with my need for solitude.
There's even a site about INFJ's (in the Myers Briggs Personality Inventory thing).
Well, there are several, but my favorite so far is THIS.
Why do I tell you this?
I don't know.
It's my blog.
I tell you stuff.
Here are some cartoons I like about that...

That's Sam and I. |
Oh, I'm not a COMPLETE die-hard introvert....
but I am enough of one that I like those cartoons up there,
and the messages they send.
Oh yes.
