How's it going out there?
Its going good here though I'm a bit tired. We are getting things caught up around the house and with school. My work schedule is starting to normalize now that we are open. Yes, we successfully opened our store and doubled our expected sales for the opening ~ Yeah! Lots to be done still and to learn also. I've been resting today and knitting like crazy ~ Sock Wars 3. I decided not to drop out. I'm working to take out my victim out before I receive my own deadly pair. heehee. I've been informed that I have at least 1 or 2 days before I will be terminated. Its been a blast and has taken some stress off. Yesterday, we took a road trip to Owasso ~ dh, Da Boy and I had never been so the girls were our tour guides. We had a wonderful afternoon out ~ dinner, shopping and hanging out with each other ~ something we hadn't done in a long time. We've allowed our lives to become to busy and unstable that we miss out on these wonderful opportunities ~ they are growing up way too fast. Mother's day was good, I worked from 11a - 4p, opened my gifts and worked on the computer. Nothing exciting but restful. Today, I spent time w/the kiddos working on lessons and playing games. I lost most of them. LOL It was fun and I think they enjoyed it too. Well, I'm off to finish working on my sock. Thought I'd pop in, say hi and check on some of my cyber-friends. Have a great week.

Normal Life?
What is a normal life? I'm asking myself this question as I type this post because currently my life is anything but normal. Though its slowing down and I'm getting to spend a few extra minutes online, it is far from normal. Training is still going on at the new pt but its in-store now putting the store together for opening. I've been volunteering at the LPGA too so I'm super tired and need to go to bed right now but wanted to update my blog and the groups I'm in. I've not been successfully tracking my spending though I've not purchased any yarn for myself in 30 days and only purchased yarn 23 days ago to complete a project which costed me $8. Woohoo - now thats progress if I say so myself. There has been other spending though ~ extra gas for training, evening meals since I've not been able to go grocery shopping ~ not fast food ;) , and bday presents ~ Sk8Chick turns 20 next week. Ahh..makes a momma proud. Other than that nothing is going on in my neck of the woods, so I leave you with pics. Have a great weekend ~ I'll be back next week.

Still here somewhere...
Hello all, its been awhile since I've really posted but I must admit I've been very tired and only read when I get on. This week is another long week, shucks who am I kidding the next few weeks will be long each and every one of them til I leave for my conference. I am hoping to get some rest before than and on the trip but it looks like the trip will be my rest though its a homeschool convention. I've been knitting even though its very slow and I've tried to get some reading done but end up sleep in the book. I've not been able to finish this week's CMSeries study pages either. I know that I'm too tired and need to get some rest, so with that thought I'm going to upload a few pics, check another email or two and go to bed ~ 6a is early around here for some reason. LOL Have a great evening. ISE6 Progress: co ~ 4/24  SI2M 2nd Package       Yummy Scarf  Labels: handicrafts, simplified, update |

Missing in Action
Yelp ~ thats what I've been "MIA." Unfortunately, it couldn't be helped for various reasons. ;) I thought I give a quick update before heading off to bed ~ yes, I've been going to bed early Rori. LOL I must in order not to be grouchy at 7a and sit thru 8hrs of training that starts @ 9a and end at 6p. Woohoo! Car ~ our vehicle still has some issues. After $700 repair, we found that there is an additional $2000 of repairs that need to be made before the end of the summer in order for it to run properly. What a bummer?! However, I am working hard not to let this depress me and know that there is a hope. Training ~ it is intense, fun and tiring. We are learning so much about various products that our heads are overflowing with information. This is good so that we are able to better service our clients. Today, I learned about an amazing product ~ ghd. For those of you who use styling irons on your hair, this one is awesome and multifunctioning. Can't wait to get one ~ wait, yes I can. ;) I was a makeup model again today which was fun ~ smoky eyes are kewl will definitely have to do that one again. Knitting ~ not much since I pinched a nerve in my upper back on the right side (I'm righthanded). However, I'm doing better today but still take Excedrin Tension because it gets really tight and starts to throb. I received several packages in the mail ~ one from my SIT2Me pal and my L2KDC pal. I will upload pictures at the end of the week. I've finished 1 1/2 socks for ds and half way thru my Yummy scarf which I started over yesterday. Well thats all, I'm tired and will now say "adios" Have a great week. Labels: fun, simplified, update |

Quick Update
sorry friends and family for my MIA status. Job training started this week along with the woes of car repairs. The training has been more like attending night classes and requires more of me than I had anticipated. I am unable to be up late at night since I need to be alert and attentive during the 8hr training which ends most days with certification testing. I will update on the weekend after sleeping in of course. I've lots to share about my spending journey, my stash diet and current knitting projects. Talk w/you all soon. ;) Labels: simplified, update |
