Is Harley a Cat Dog?

So last week was a blur....I had a cold and didnt do much of anything. Then on Friday I felt like I had been hit by a mac truck and stayed in bed most of the day....that is a luxury I get whenever I want since I work from home and have no kids. :0) Saturday I wake up and have a little bit of a runny nose, like that mac did a hit and run.

Last night thankfully I was feeling better because it was League night. I doubled my investment so that is always good. Today, again, that mac is no where to be found. I will say that it would suck if it had turned up again because today are the play-offs and I am looking forward to going out and watching it on the big screen.

Oh, and the mice. Yes, they are still here and last night I heard them eating my Cookbooks!! No, that is not a typo. My cookbooks! So, it looks like we will be finding out if Harley likes Cats.

Why is There An ELEPHANT On My Head?

Seriously, it started as it always does and then BAM!, congestion, sore throat, sneezing, runny nose. At least I dont have any shows this week.

So, to catch up. This past week as been quite busy and successful, which makes the busy part worth it. Randy and I are in full swing with our Amazon and EBay stores. This week, from Craigslist, we sold a set of wheels and the last of two fireplaces that have been taking up space in the garage. Last week, we sold the other fireplace and three windows. If we keep it up, Randy might even be able to stop having to deal with customers. I interviewed a potential consultant last week and she signed up today, doing her first show at my house at the end of the month. I am quite excited for her. Randy's folks got two new puppies and they are the cutest things! We cant wait to meet them and we are getting the basement cleaned out, so a trip to M&J's is in the plans so that we can get them the couches. I like having the place cleaned and organized....oh, and I think I just heard the mouse trap catch another little booger, or at least I hope so.

I do hate not feeling well. There is so much I want and need to get done, but no energy or umph to get it done. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

Today was a busy day, or so it seemed.....

My day really started at Noon with a drive out to Martinsburg for New Consultant training. Now mind you, she isnt actually my Consultant. She is on a Team on my Team. You caught that right? Anyway, after her training - which included feeding the Toddler a banana and talking over a crying baby, I drove right back to Leesburg to do an interview. I totally cant wait until she joins the Team. She already has 6 shows booked and her husband is on board. Gotta love it when that happens!

I am now home, with more auction stuff to take care of and organizing to be done. We started on the basement last night and now need to "finish" In the process of organizing the basement, we are also working on the garage. Will I actually be able to park in there this year? Somehow I really dont think so, even if we get it organized, I am sure it will just be used for storage.

So now I am off to put on the fluffy PJ's and get comfy. That way, it doesnt really seem like work.

A Little Warmer Today

Have I mentioned that one of the benefits of working from home is the ability to sleep in late? Well, it is, and I love it! And because we have the best dog in the whole wide world, I dont even have to wake up to walk him. He waits until I am ready - everyday, almost every time. So today, I got up at Noon thirty and ate some oatmeal - Harley stayed in bed. I then took a shower and took my sweet time getting ready - Harley is still in bed. Then I utter those magic words "You wanna go outside" and he is up and running downstairs. 1:30 in the afternoon! Like I said, the best dog in the whole wide world.

When we were ready to go out, Randy had to go talk to a neighbor so I asked if I need a coat. His response - You Will....meaning he didnt. But wouldnt you know, he is the one that had a coat on. It is 42 degrees out and beautiful. And, yes, it was a little warmer today.

Start of New Day

Today starts a new day and I am still trying to get things in order. Last night, I stayed up until 2am making sure all of our movies are accounted for - still cant find the DVD for Valiant but I know it is around here somewhere. The I slept late, because I could. Now I am contemplating whether to look up the extras on Amazon or continuing putting in movies that I found in our sitting room last night. I still need to find a couple more of the shelving units for the movies so they are piled on the windowsill.

Randy and I are discussing moving all the workout stuffs into his office and making the basement more of his office, our auction stuff. Less stairs to carry everything up and down and less mess in the living room. We have to have the basement cleared out by the 20th though, it will be our turn to host Poker Night.

Now onto the day...no more wasting time for me....at least for now.

Typical Monday

Every Monday now starts the same way, Auctions! Today it started a little earlier than most b/c the last couple of weeks we missed some items we wanted because we couldnt bring ourselves to the get out of bed point....this morning, I am awaken by a bright eyed and bushy tailed husband at 7am. He wanted to know when I was getting up, am I getting up, can he turn the light on. Seriously, do you see me and Harley sleeping. Aarggh! I was getting up, I just take a little time to get out of bed. Poor Harley just looked at me as if to say, "What the heck do you think you are doing and what is that stupid light on?"

Well we did make it on time to see everything ahead of time and then didnt buy anything for the first 2hrs. You see they were selling an estate of some one who passed and they had QUITE the instrument and gun collection. Then they stayed around and paid MORE than retail for other stuff. Those of us that are there to make money, didnt get much today - that is fo' sho'!

Once we get home, we then pack up items we have sold and I take them to the Post Office, always getting there about 15-20mins before they close. They know it is almost quitting time when I walk in the door. :0)

Now I am sitting in a cold home trying to decide do a put on the PJ's and watch a movie or do a take a hot bath bef....well, I decided.

Night for now, Bubbles are calling my name.

New Day, New Post

Two days in a row, I am on a roll....not really, but it feels good to remember. Today was long and my neck and feet hurt. I am anxious to hear from a couple of guests and the Hostess from last night. I need to get their shows closed for triple points....tonight is the deadline. I need the triple points for Maui.

I think I am going to take a little break and play something on the computer while I wait. Eventually these will get more enlightening, but for now, this is all you get.

New Year......

I am attempting to keep up with all my accounts....facebook and yahoo, no problem; blog and twitter, cant seem to even remember I have them.

This week I worked on listing the items from Monday's auction. Today I have a Show and then I have to come home and get the house cleaned for the Show I am having at the house tomorrow. Then, I start back to appointments and networking. We have to get more jobs....
