Monday, Monday

Keeping busy around here!

This past weekend was nice, Greg was off on Friday as well. We did get a lot accomplished:

  • Halloween/Fall things put away in attic.
  • Oil changed in Impala.
  • Saw new James Bond movie.
  • Organized our DVD movies.
  • Finished Christmas shopping for Jac and almost finished for Storm.
  • Got a table and 2 chairs for Violet.
  • Caught up on DVRed shows.

I went to a Creative Memories open house thing on Saturday and I had a good time chatting with Sami. I scrapped with her and some others last month. They are having a crop on Sat. from 3-11 and I’m going! There’s only 6 people that can go as it’s in her home this time. I did buy another coverset, this one is for Greg’s scrapbook.

Yesterday Jac and I went to a Slipada jewelry party. It was at Tammy’s house. She’s best friend with Sami. Jennifer is the jewelry and Pampered Chef gal. While I was getting directions from Tammy she told me that they would probably be using me in the very near future for a photo session! YAY! Breaking into this group would be great, just takes a few and then business will start rolling. Tammy and Sami’s kids are the same age, 15 and 17. Both girls are older, they will be uprising seniors next year. So, I will be busy this summer! Hopefully the referral incentives I have set up will bring in some of their friends as well. Anyhow, we had a good time at the party and I ordered two things, neither for me! I have a wish list though. Jen and I talking I’m going to have a Valentine’s open house for Mary Kay and have a Slipada party at the same time. My SIL did this and got a lot of jewelry free as well as some MK bookings! :smile:

I have booked 3 Mary Kay skin care classes for the first weekend in December. If you are local and wouldn’t mind me borrowing your face, let me know. I just need to get 15 faces done in 2 weeks and I get something called “Perfect Start”. No one in the unit I’m in has gotten it and there’s a lot of them, like 25 or so. I have 9 faces booked, including Jac! One of the gals at the gym used to use MK, but, her gal moved, so that’s very cool for me. Just going to do the class and then take reorders. I’m going to do a follow-up with her the next week for color. Storm’s mom is going to get some church gals together and I invited my friend Jen to a class with Jac. I need to borrow your face, Alisa, Ginger, Joanna.

I got weighed and measured at JC this morning. Didn’t gain, didn’t lose, but, I’ve lost a total of 16″. Wow, eh? It’s coming off, slowly but surely. I’m kicking it up a notch this week at the gym, varying my routine, not just running. I think I’m PMSing, so that’s probably why I didn’t gain or lose. :cry:

Violet has been sick since Thursday night. Not eating much, but still drinking and slept almost the entire day and night on Saturday. She’s a little better today, eating crackers and drinking milk and water along with juice. I think that Jac said she was going to call the doc today about her. Poor baby, she’s exhausted and so is her mommy. I’m a little worried, but not overly as she’s still got wet and dirty diapers, she’s not running a fever, no puking. Maybe it’s going around.

The movie on Saturday night was really good. Really, really good. I liked this one a lot more than the one before it with Daniel. He’s not the best looking guy, but, he’s alright body wise. :grin: The trailers at the begining were good, even though it was a 20 minute time frame. We saw a few that we want to see when they come out, especially since Vin and Paul are back for “Fast and Furious” as well as my girl Michelle. The movie with Jim Carrey looks hilarious! It’s been a long time since Greg and I went to the movies, the last one we saw was The Dark Knight back in July! How did that happen?

    Hi! Sorry I’m late joining in here. I am there to help as a face model if you need it. Just email me since I don’t get to keep up with the blogs as much as I’d like. The only thing is that I am out of a job very soon, so I’ll have to hold back on spending any $$ on myself for now, unfortunately. Even on fabulous Mary Kay eye shadows and face wash, both of which I was not able to live without at one point. *sigh*

    You could borrow my face if i was closer! My friend is a Body Shop at Home rep and a trainee make up person. She’s doing all normal make up and stuff and then after christmas she’s doing stage make up so I might be a model then - I’ll look like I’ve been in a car crash! (ok its not good but I’m excited about being a model lol)

    Thanks Alisa! I’ve shelved the idea for the time being. I was really turned off with the sales part of it. I do have the site, so feel free to order. :smile:
