What a week! Especially with the fires, the wind and the pass being closed down Monday... I'm at work. Last week it was dead and a couple of days I've felt pulled in a few different directions at once. And today is unusually busy for a Friday. We must be doing well because I've been doing training more often then not and training is required for all new merchants. I really do enjoy training our merchants.
Monday 10/22/07 - The fires have been causing a lot of problems in Southern California. Well Monday was the day that impacted me the most. The 15 was closed down. And with all the other fires in the area there was no back route. My friend Sasha was a godsend. She contacted me when she found out the pass was closed and offered to have me stay in her spare room for the evening. I was NOT happy about having to stay down the hill but really the reason wasn't that I wouldn’t be sleeping in my own bed, it was that I had absolutely NO overnight bag. I had to go buy everything I needed! Financially I’ve been strapped, even with the raise it’s going to take some time to get back on track with my budget. But since I do commute I've been meaning to get an overnight bag just for this reason so now I have an overnight bag in my trunk. hehe I was so grateful to Sasha for opening up her place for me. It meant a lot to me and I felt truly blessed to have such a good friend in her. Even if I was ticked about having to spend money I didn’t have on all the necessities.
Tuesday 10/23/07 Pampered Chef Party - Tuesday night I hosted a Pampered Chef party and it went well! I was expecting about 15-20 people and 16 showed. My friend ended up buying a bunch of things since a lot of the stuff he had in storage rusted so I had an AWESOME show because of him! I will get about $250.00 in free product! I'm looking forward to shopping. I'm closing my party next week so I haven't made my final selections. :) I'm not much of a cook but I think I'd like to start. It's always more fun if you have fun tools!
Friday 10/26/07 Jeff Dunham - So tonight I'm driving down to Long Beach with Andie to go see Jefahfah Dun-Ham dot com! :D If you don't get that well you would have had to have seen the last Comedy Central Special. Either way I'm really looking forward to it!
*It’s now Saturday, work got hectic and I never had a chance to post it so here it is now. I’ll update this post with pics from the Pampered Chef Party soon. Oh and I didn’t get any pics of Jeff Dunham but I met a cool young couple that are going to send me pics! I might post a couple of those too.*
