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.

Toodles

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....

You have a Blog?

Yes. That is what Randy said to me this morning. "Why didnt you tell me you a had Blog?" "I did. You have read it, it has been awhile, but you read it." Then he went on to say how weird it was that I, being a non-techie, would have a growing Facebook page, Blog and know all about the Social Media. Whereas, he who is what I would like to refer to as a Geek, hasnt a clue. Quite a different world we live in now.

I seem to forget quite often that I have a Blog, as evidenced from my lack of entry since April, but I really do want to keep this....really, I do! So, lets start with recent activities in my life.....

Last week I did my first Show that I didnt cook anything. I little misunderstanding with me and the Hostess, but all is good. I booked 3 Parties and sold about $800. I hope those who booked realized that I will be cooking at their parties. Not cooking makes me very uncomfortable. Then, the next night I had 5 Guests at a Show and 4 of them are going to have a Party. Sweet! Not bad for a weekend. Of course, that is in addition to the 3 Day Vendor Fair that I participated in. My party last night got away from me and I realized this morning I gave away so much I am not making any money on it. Aaarrrggghhh!!! I made a boo-boo and now I have to eat it. Oh, well. It happens.

Randy and I have taken up buying at Auctions and selling on eBay and Craig's List. It is something that we both enjoy and is a destresser for him. I just dread shipping all the china....

Oh, and two nights ago he came home with Flowers. No reason. Just did. Sometimes I just dont know about him.
