Blogging has not been my winning horse this month, (see Enjoying the Small Things). Nathan and I have jumped into Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. We have been budgeting, trying to give, trying to save, and trying to not lose our minds!!!!! Honestly though, it has been a wonderful experience for us so far, but we do need a little extra of something. SOOOO, I signed up to sell Thirty-One products. I have never done anything like this before, and I am VERY nervous about it. I have a great director, but I am so worried about people wanting to host parties. But I am trying to be positive and just go for it. Thirty-One is a great opportunity for me, and I am selling it for 3 reasons.
1. To save up to buy me a new car! (I still have the Miata, and it currently has no back window. oh, and remember that last weekend is rained? It was beautiful, but now my car smells like a pond.) I want a Ford Edge, but I think that will always be a little (ok, a lot) out of our price range, but this will do! A Nissian Juke, I know it's weird but for some reason I just really love it.
2. To help complete the baby steps in Dave's plan.
3. To give me something to do!
Don't get me wrong, I love Midland, but I am bored! I have a few friends, but I want to get to know more people. I think this will be a great way for me to do that. I have my first party scheduled for my mom's house, and I am already practicing what I am going to say! I'm so nervous! I know this is going to be a good thing for me, because it puts me out of my comfort zone of sitting in our apartment watching That 70's Show and Office reruns on the weekends! Haha! :)
This week we are also watching some of our friend's kids while they are out of town. I can tell you this, not all teenagers are crazy, rude, wild kids. The kids we are keeping are so sweet and respectful. One of them even told me NOT to unload the dishwasher, because she wanted to do it. Wow! I don't think I have ever or will ever stop someone from emptying my dishwasher. These kids give me hope about this world!
I'll post a more exciting blog later. I learned how to make FUDGE, and it was actually good. I am going to give you the recipe soon.
Love to all!
I'm excited for you! I think you'll be great at it. The couple of Thirty-One parties that I've been to were way more relaxed and simple than a Willow House or Pampered Chef party. You'll be great!
