Ah, I love Wednesdays. I don't know why? I think it's the middle of the week and it only two days left and it's the weekend. WOOHOO! I'm weird what can I say. :)
Gosh, I've got lots of things rattling around in my brain today. Let's see...to start my morning off today, I woke up late which did not make me very happy so of course you run around like a maniac, the cats look at you like - whoa lady...slow down! :) I just felt blah all day but then I got done with work at 3:30 so that perked me right up! HA!
Had a great show last night! My hostess was so sweet, we had a great chit chat while getting everything together. I love those moments where I'm not rushing around and you can visit and do a little bonding. She had great guests, we had a ball. They asked so many questions about old product. I've got to get on the website and research. She booked a party for August. So YAY!
Next month I'll find out what's coming for spring/summer!! Yippee!! Regionals or TS on tour is coming to Columbus...can't wait can't wait! I need regenerized. I'm just in a funk. Oh well, skys going to clear up put on a happy face... :)
I'm really getting hooked on the blogging stuff...fun fun! My friend at work talked me into subscribing to Google Reader, very cool plus then they recommend sites...so cool for the technically challenged. :)
I had to catch up last night on AI and NCIS (thank goodness for DVR!) - please help me understand why everyone can't get it in their head that when they ask you to stop singing STOP SINGING! For those friends out there that encourage their friends to go thru and embarass themselves in front of millions of people, shame on you! THEN they've got to fuss and cuss at the camera. I just want to yell - GET OVER IT! Anyhoo these are my favorite episodes. :-) Come on Hollywood!
Hollywood - in a manner of speaking...Heath Ledger...how sad, how terribly sad. What a waste, he was such a muffin. I feel so bad for his family, his daughter, his ex. I hope they can find peace. Say a prayer.
Last night on the way home I was listening to Everday Foods on the Martha Stewart channel on Sirius (LOVE my sirius...thank you my love) and they were talking about foods that remind of years past or like a family tradition - good or bad memory. This got me thinking of my family. Mind you, it's very small. I have one cousin on my Dad's side, two on my Mom's, My Aunt B (Dad's only sister)..love you! My Aunt J passed away in '89. Miss her...anyhoo...while my Gran was alive our menu (since I was a kid and I'm old!) was either Poorman's steak, pan fried chicken (my gran kicked tushy with the chicken!), dressing, mash pots with gravy (yours truly was the brown butter kid, thank you!!) veggies, date pudding (no one makes date pudding like my little Gran) tapicoa (I'll eat it only under diress! LOL!! Besides it leaves more for those the LOVE it...see how unselfish I am!) pies and the infinite SCHNITZ PIES! What a hoot it would be when the schnitz pies would come out, my dad would become a pit bull! Inventory was taken!! LOL!! It was Grandmom's labor of love. Brings back such good feelings...ok, I'm off track - Sorry!! We had brown heavy plates that would come out every holiday...sometimes she'd spice it up and we'd have the apple plates or the peach plates and the green glasses. What a great presentation it would be!! I loved holidays...then when we'd have turkey and ham at Thanksgiving, ham at Christmas her house would smell so good. I have the best childhood memories. I love my family!!
Here I go again, writing a novel!! Sorry to put you to sleep but I like to blab on and on! :)
Peace...

I'm just wild about...
That title makes me laugh. I don't know why, it just does. Gosh, what on earth can you blog about work? Not a thing. I'm really trying to post daily and it's just a struggle to come up with things to gab about. So...
I've got a show tonight. I'm pretty excited, I haven't done a show since December and that was more a buffet, they ate, I talked a bit...not my normal show which I loved!! I enjoy just listening to all the chit chat. It's so much fun when everyone around you is talking about their favorite products or newbies that are completely overhelmed. I met my hostess tonight at the open house I did in November. She's super sweet and I'm pretty pumped. This morning on the way to work it started to snow. It's been down right cold for days and it picks today to snow! LOL!! Oh well, I assured her that we are going to have a great time no matter what.
I'm trying to come with some ideas for like a food club. I know with stamping, there is stamp clubs or stamp camps. I just know there has to be something in the food line. I'm racking my brain but the "storm" hasn't hit. I could do something with the Gourmet Gab, but what?! I discovered some TS consultants on the google blog search, pretty awesome!! I have to say that Tastefully Simple is the best home based business, low inventory, low start up cost and fits where ever you need it to. It's been 4 years. Mon asked me to come up with the Beer Bread Extravagnza for next month. Fun!! I've got to come up with something orginal!! I did a salsa bread last year, it was ok...nothing to write home about. Something with cheese...hmm! Oh well stayed tuned.
This little town I live in, well, the town officials crack me up. I left a message last Thursday for them to call me to make sure they received my check, yeah, I got the message today! LOL!! You just have to love small town living. Sigh...glad I wasn't worried or anything?!
I have to go get my things together and put together a hostess kit. My hostess for Saturday wants to try some new things. She's a repeat hostess and big dollars...she can have whatever she wants. :)
Till tomorrow...peace out!

Monday Monday
What a great day! I love that we are slowing down a bit at work. I love getting done at a decent time. A couple of the guys that use to work on the docks came to visit. It was great to see them. It's unreal how fast time goes, but it does.
I'm still on the search for scrap booking ideas! I was in a store last week that had scrap booking for dummies, I shoud have picked up a copy! I've got a goal in mind...I'm going to be done with my Germany scrapbook this year! Enough already, I've got to move on! It's been 10 years....holy smokes! It seems like yesterday. We had a great time. I think I'll use that as my post in March. :) Hopefully I'll have news to say...I'M DONE! :)
Well...off to eat dinner and get things ready for my show tomorrow evening. Goodness, I haven't done a party for over a month...yikes!!
Happy Monday! God Bless...
Hugs,
Lisa

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy 2008! It's been 2 long years since I last posted. I'm a big time slacker. Blogging is now the big thing and I'm joining the ranks. I'm not going to waste space with catching up on 2 years worth of life so I'm starting with today.
It's a beautiful cold morning, just got off the phone with my mom. Talked to my neice Kara who wanted me to listen to her tricks she taught her dogs on her gaming system. She's a crack up! Talked with my brother, I had to share with him what one of the girls (I scrapbook with) said about him when he was a kid...he liked to smooch all the little girls on the school bus in kindergarten!! Howling...he's like...I don't remember that I was shy. Yeah right!! Too cute. He was a little cutie. Gosh that was like almost 30 years ago. That's unbelievable.
The weekend has been good! We had a get together with "the boyfriend's" big family (aunts uncles cousins) yesterday. What a great time! It's so amazing how fast the little ones are growing and there will be more coming this year. There was so much food. Speaking of which, in my world (hence the title), I should just know better! Ok, Friday when I get done with work this is my plan of action..I'm going to get my dressing made for my taco salad (yum), get my meatballs made so all I have to do is put in a crock pot in the AM, the get together is not till one. Ok cool so here I go...Check, dressing done! Check, got everything to make meatballs...um, well.. meatballs look too big so I'll make them a bit smaller to make more. Hello, you bought cheap hamburger...they're going to shrink...UGH!! Are you serious?! These meatballs looked pitiful. I can't feed these to people. I'm freaking out. I don't have time to go the store. I decided I'm feeding this to "the boyfriend", he loves me and won't judge! I had stuff to make spoon bread so I was safe. Aww, life is always interesting in my world. But wait it gets better....lol...
Ok, so I'm really trying to work on time management in my personal life. Really, I get in all kinds of brew ha-ha's when I dilly dally. Now, mind you...I have the invitation on the fridge of what time the gathering is, ok! Why would I want to look at that to confirm the time because I read it once and it said one. I get up in the AM, make coffee, I'm playing around on the computer because I've decided I want to start my blog up again, looking at the time...oh I've got plenty...start some laundry...time, we're good...play around some more, now I'm getting frustrated because I can't figure anything out. I'm technically challenged. I have to walk away...time, well I better get my spoon bread put together, rinse the lettuce....time, good...fold clothes and check the dvr to see what taped. Found a show and started watching...time, we're good...10:55am "the boyfriend" walks in...hello (this is me) what are you doing here so early it's not till one, he said no it isn't it's 12:30! WHAT...ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Holy crap, now I gotta get my arse moving. Sigh...I looked at the invite and sure enough, 12:30 it said. Where or why did I program 1:00 in my head...some days its just scary being me. :) Needless to say, we weren't too terribly late and had a great time! I love his family, it's so fun...kids run around like maniacs, all the girls gathered around a table chatting and catching up, the men...well, being men...I asked what they dished about, oh nothing really. Can you say "whatever!"....life is good!
Well, off to blog land. I'm trying to find some good scrap booking sites. Know any, please help. That my friends is another story in my world. Till then...Happy Sunday and lots of love!
