Far too Competitive

I was at a party on Saturday, a friends 30th, which had been themed as a kids party. We were playing musical chairs, when it suddenly occured to me that I was far too keen to win for a girl wearing 3 inch heels after a few glasses of wine, and that it was probably all about to end in tears, so I ducked out gracefully and let someone in more sensible shoes take the glory, but it wasn't easy!

Earlier on this week I found myself obsessing about the fact that I was only rated 6th out of my friends on the "Whose got the biggest brain?" challenge on Facebook. This is mostly due to my total inability to process numbers at any speed at all, therefore meaning that my score in this area stays distressingly low. After several wasted days I have had to finally conclude that my brain is the size of a "Space Ace" and that is where it is going to stay and that no matter how frustrated I may be by my inability to prove that I really do have the brain of a "cyborg" my time would be better spent elsewhere. By trying (and sadly still failing) to thrash people at Scrabulous for instance.....


So being competitive is bad if it means that I'm going to allow myself to feel distressed by my score on a Facebook application. But on the other hand it's what gives me my drive to succeed. My competitive nature gives me the drive to want Retro Chick to be as successful as my other, more established, competitors and is therefore making me constantly look for new stock sources and get more and more pieces up for sale. I have found a new vintage supplier and am hoping to be getting some great new stock in the next few weeks.


In the meantime you can come and join Retro Chick on Facebook I need more fans, there's other fan pages to beat......
