Adventures in Solo marketing....

Ok, Mia, where are ya when i need ya? So, I may be able to induce labor, help with sinus infections, or help your hurt leg (or elbow, or butt, or ego--just kidding about that last one), but I have no idea how to let people know that i am out there, waiting to do these things. For money.

SO, this week i put together a presentation folder of info about acupuncture and PMS, acupuncture and fertility, etc....all kinds of OB/GYN stuff, and a letter about acupuncture from a scientific and asian exsplanation, how it can help their patients, and how having their patients come see me can help take a load of the doctor, etc, blah blah blah....

Today, i went to 3 different Gyny offices to drop said folders off to docs there, and on eof the offices was at the hospital, in the medical offices branch. So, i am on my way down from the office, which was on the second floor, and these two guys, neither one small, but the one guy was HUGE, like 6-5 maybe, and like well over 200 lbs, go to get in the elevator ahead of me. As they walk into it, they collide side by side, and get stuck between the doors. There is a brief and subtle moment of pushing and shoving as they figure out how to get thru, as if this was a totally normal way to enter an elevator, at which point i walk in quietly behind them and start to giggle discreetly while pretending to look at my phone. The smaller guy goes "and he's the smaller of my two brothers!", and we all laugh a bit. So, we land, and i turn to them as i am about to get out and say "good luck with this one guys" , and then i get out, and lo-and-behold, there stand the tallest latino i have ever met so far, also waying in well over 200, and the guys goes, "that's him!" and i tell him, "sh-t, now you are really in trouble!.....it was so comical....

So we must have burnt peas......and how about broccoli just blanched, simple, like lorraine makes it. And maybe we can have something interesting for potatoes, like with roasted garlic or wasabi or chipotle? And we could do cranberry salsa as well as sweet regular cranberry? And corn bread ? Any more ideas?
