Getting Closer...

Wow!  Saturday night I saw Greg Francis in Orlando.  It was nice to ride with my upline, but it would have been nice if the hubby came.  But he had a long day at the j.o.b.  In fact he had to stay later because of the incoming hurricane and to top it off they are taking away his long weekends and he nows works 5 days a week and not 4.  Definitely gave him more motivation to get things done for our business and be FREE!
Greg and Jacquie Francis are awesome, and really motivated me to focus more on what needs to be done to get to the big picture.  When I told Tyler a little bit about it he got one thing from the few things I mentioned and that's to focus on What Would a Diamond Do?  =)  I guess I will get my WWJD bracelet out too!
Sunday was a full day clebrating 3 family birthdays with my side of the family, and getting what I thought was my last glimpse of my sister-in-laws belly before my niece is born.  After a day of church, lots of food, and family, Hubby and I got home and ready for bed.  My brother then called to say my sister's (don't like saying sister-in-law, she's more than that) water broke.  Packed up and drove 2 hours to sleep there and watch the dog.  When they did go into the hospital she was 3cm, but they told her that her water didn't fully break. (i dunno?)  They sent her home, and all the family that came turned around and left.  I got free brekfast and lunch yesterday from my mom and got back home around 5pm.  My brother is nervous people won't come into town after their false alarm, but I will still drop what I am doing to see my first blood niece.  But for now I got a lot of work to get done since they could call again any minute.

Birthday Struggles

Today was my husband's birthday.  I guess I really just want to make it special.  He doesn't want me to spend much money, so I didn't buy him anything.  Yesterday we both had the day off and he told me he wanted to spend the day with me, but our day was spent sleeping in and going to get a grand slam at Denny's.  (Really? you want Denny's?)  After that I kept trying to plan stuff to do, but he never sounded excited about my ideas, so we meet his friends at a place downtown and spent about $50 on food and drinks.  He had to work today so we left, but he really wanted to go by Family Fun Center and play games, so we did that. 
Today was an exhausting day at work for him, but as soon as he got home we headed to his parent's house to celebrate his birthday.  So once again we didn't get much alone time but enjoyed our time celebrating. 
Well, I can't feel like he had a good time on his birthday unless I really do something special for him, and although he told me yesterday and today were good days.  I am going to clean up some tomorrow and cook him a nice steak dinner because he deserves to know he is appreciated and that birthdays are important.  Good thing I have a publix gift card and this week new york strips are on sale. ;)
Love you Grover!

Everyday should be like today

I almost posted earlier this week as hubby and I are starting to get a steadiness of customers now.  Last Thursday got a friend to buy some stuff from me, and on Monday we had 3 people over who all order stuff.  I received some of it yesterday and today some more of it came in.  We made over a 100 in profit and got a lot of customer points as well. 
The friend I sold to was supposed to come over and hang out, so I started to clean up and thought we can bake cookies together.  Well I started the cookies without her.  She ended up telling me she was not going to come by and had a bad day, so I decided to wrap of the cookies for her, and my other customers and deliver everything today.  So much fun to give them cookies as appreciation and their products, plus everyone decided that they wanted to order something more!!!  So now once I put in another order I will be making more.  It's so nice to serve people and just have a day like this.

Very Long Tuesday!

I already know that I have a lot to do on Tuesdays, but for some reason I thought I could get my grocery shopping done too, and last night I found out my Little Sister is actually leaving this Wednesday and not next.
I am in the office for my job as the supervisors come in on Tuesdays, then in the evening I drive to the next city for a business meeting.  Yesterday after our meeting in the office everyone went to lunch to say goodbye to a co-worker.  When I did finally leave the office I remembered tomorrow we have a meeting in Tampa and I will need to be up early.  I swung by the grocery store and got a call from my Little Sister asking me to drop by.  I know at this point if I sit down that I will not get back up. 
I did enjoy my short visit with my Little Sister.  She made a collage for me and we exchanged information.  I hope the best for her and that this move is a good change for her.  Seemed she was starting to fall into the wrong crowd here.  I need to finish my scrap book for her before Christmas so I can send it off.
On our way to our business meeting we made phone calls for our open house with our products that we have scheduled for Thursday, and of course on the way home from our business meeting Grover fell asleep in the backseat as it was late.

Drove back to Tampa this morning for my job, and am just really wanting to relax.  Not sure how I make it through days like yesterday and even today, and can't believe in my previous job that every day was like that.  Really makes me wanna start getting more done each and every day so full days are not so exhausting.

Dreaming Big

As I watch the USA women's team in the soccer tournament of the Olympics and read posts on Twitter and Facebook, I get this huge sense of dreams building up inside of me.  We tied China for glad medals yesterday and I began crying as I watched the "flying squirrel," Gabrielle Douglas receive her gold medal.  I also keeps reading posts of the current Chick-fil-A arguments, since an owner talked about his Christian morals being against the LGBT community.  This has also put a deep dream in me and inspires me to be the Christian Jesus wants me to be.  I literally have an ache in my hear to love and inspire others.  I want to continue to dream and feel this passion that I have inside of me.  I want to get things done, and stop letting other things weigh me down.
I want to succeed life!!

Relationships and Twitter?

Last night our upline diamond in our business who is a multi-millionaire from the business was at our meeting.  He showed the plan for new people who came out and had our discussion.  This was good for the hubby and I as we have had some struggles.  We know the business could get us out of them, but we need some motivation.  Alan Leininger talked about how quitters are just losing out on money, and we don't wanna do that.  haha.

We need to work on talking to more people and building relationships.  We decided this week we would work on getting out in the community and starting small talk.  Apparently we aren't as social as I thought, but I bet if I didn't think so much about it I would be fine.

On another note, I really want to be better at praying, blogging, crafting, and more.  I should have no excuse since I only work part time, so I have stopped recording some shows on TV and am working on waking up at a consistent early time.

I have also decided to start tweeting, and learning more about that since I have an opinion and a sense of humor.  I can't wait to number sign all over the place!! =)
