For the Good of the Group

At the end of all of our staff meetings, we do a "For the Good of the Group" thing where everyone tells the group something positive that's going on in their life. 

At our last meeting two weeks ago mine was: I'm happy it rained.  Really.  That's all I could think of...pretty sad.

I'm already thinking about what I'll say tomorrow & I'm happy to report that not only do I have something better than rain to talk about, but I'll need to whittle it down. 

1. I'm a crocheter, not a knitter.  This weekend I decided I was going to become a knitter.  So I started on a dishcloth & can't seem to put it down.  I'm having so much fun--and I'm so impressed I was able to pick it up fairly easily.  I even contemplated getting up earlier in the morning so I'd have more time to knit before having to leave for work.  If only it were like that with my thesis...

2. Speaking of my thesis, I finished a very rough draft of my Results section.  I still have many edits to do, but the only section I have left is the Discussion.  Yes!

3.  My bro got engaged!  Woo!  So excited for a sister-in-law & niece!

4.  I started selling AVON.  It's been so much fun.  I had four sales for Campaign 16...which I thought was pretty good until I heard someone at the erepresentative meeting I went to last night talk about having 50 sales.  I don't care...I'm pretty proud of my four sales.  :o)

5. My friend finds out the sex of her baby on Friday...SUPER excited!  I live vicariously through others. 

Until next time...

So exciting

It's my morning ritual to check my email before I get out of bed (what has the world come to?!) and I was greeted with such a wonderful surprise...my first AVON sale! 

So exciting! 

Just a little shameless plug:  please click here to visit my website.  Free shipping with a $30 order and a free gift courtesy of my crafty hands!  What more can one ask for??  And a lot of times the prices are cheaper than what's listed depending on what you pick out...I added some things that were listed as $6 & $7 but in my cart were actually $4.  I can go for that.

Don't forget that AVON sells more than just makeup...I'm loving the Summer section (Campaign 16, pg 134-137)!

Until next time friends.

What a day!

I finally had an appointment with a doctor about my hip today.  I have a hard time because I think, "Is all of this really necessary?  I can walk around without any pain...can't I just live with it?  I can just be sure to avoid rotating my leg for the rest of my life."  But then when I talk to the "professionals" every one of them has said, "Since January?  Yeah, that's a pretty long time, we should see what's going on." 

At any rate, I had xrays done today that showed...absolutely nothing.  So now I have an appointment for an MRI next week.  Apparently they'll inject dye into my hip.  Boy does that sound like fun!  I hope something is shown & there's some sort of treatment.  I'd hate to do all of this for a, "We don't know what's going on, just hope it'll heal on its own."  It was really cool to see my bones though.

In interesting medical news, they're doing hip arthroscopies now.  That may be the next step if the MRI doesn't show anything.  Cross your fingers that it's not.

In interesting makeup news, I met with the Avon lady today & got all of my stuff to get started.  Pretty excited...should be fun!

Until next time...
