Ten on Tuesday

  1. No Creativity Monday this week... it was laundry and cleaning Monday instead and I just didn't have the energy at the end of the day to be creative. Sorry! I'll pick it up next week!
  2. Savannah had her 8th grade visit to the high school last week... yikes! I can't possibly be old enough to have two high schoolers, can I? Ready or not, here we are... she's all registered for her freshman classes. Crazy.
  3. She's counting down the days... only one more week and then her braces come off after two and a half years. She's already had almost all of them removed - only the front four teeth still have anything one them... next Tuesday they'll remove the rest and give her her retainer. She's beside herself.
  4. I led my first Saturday meetings last weekend. I LOVE doing two back-to-back meetings... if I have to drive there, I'd just as soon get two meetings done. Had over 130 people attend the two meetings and sold over $1500 in product. Yay!
  5. Kyler started track practice officially yesterday.  There's still about 4 inches of snow on the ground. Silly. He's been running all winter, so it's not really anything he's not used to. But brrr.... right?
  6. Fundraising for our trip continues... got a report yesterday of $$$ that's come in and continue to be amazed by people's generosity. We are officially at just over $7000 between money raised and money saved - a little less than halfway to what we need. We're scheduling another bake sale and I've got a couple of other fundraising ideas up my sleeve... We need to get to about $12,000 sooner rather than later so we can purchase our plane tickets...
  7. Need a cute calendar? I think THIS is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I've got mine printed and plan to assemble it as soon as I have a free minute...
  8. March 30th will be my six year anniversary of blogging. What a crazy ride it's been. One of my favorite self-indulgent time wasters is to go back and pick a random month and just read... what was going on in March of 2009? Go read it! November 2006? Go read it! So cool. So glad I've kept it up. It's a wonderful record of our lives.
  9. I am officially tired of my winter wardrobe... particularly for work. Should I wear the black slacks or the brown slacks? Black tights or brown tights? Black boots or brown boots? Ugh. Really ready for some spring weather so I can bust out some color.
  10. I took on a new job responsibility - I am now a Location Coordinator for our North Nevada location... which means I'm responsible for all the ordering and inventory. It's a challenging new position and I'm thrilled with the opportunity to learn it. Gosh, I love my job.
Happy Tuesday, friends! Have a lovely day. Smooch you all.

  4. Glad you love your job. That is half the battle of wanting to go to work. Why do you suppose I have been at it for almost 15 years now. I love it too !
    It has really changed since I started though....We were just a local owned Oregon franchise when I began. Very different from now but it was even fun then and a lot less complicated...(My members are looking forward to meeting you next week !!!!!)

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
