Sorry Guys

Man I have been really bad about posting lately. Sorry guys. Here's a little recap of what I've been doing these past few weeks.

1. Selling Arbonne like crazy. After two parties at my house and a weekend of parties in Dallas, I think I'm going to like this (and making money isn't too bad either). If only I didn't already have a full time job that required a lot out of me.

2. Trying over and over and over again to shake a sinus infection that will not go away. For three weeks now I have been trying to get rid of this thing, but being busy and sleep deprived means not being healthy. So the sore throats, snottiness, and loss of voice just keep coming. Oh well.

3. Office Depot shopping spree! I am a school supply addict and needing to updgrade my home office gave me the perfect reason to feed my addiciton. Seriously I couldn't be successful in my new venture without matching notebooks, binders, pencils, and pens.

4. Desperately hoping my Baylor Bears would pull past all the team injuries and pull out some much needed wins so we could go to a bowl game. Don't think it's going to happen this year, but keeping my fingers crossed anyways.

5. Counting down the days until November 20th. I already have my New Moon tickets purchased, of course. And the other movie I must see this fall The Blind Side, comes out that day too. Well clearly I've made my choice of which one I'm seeing that day, but there's always the next day to see the other one!

6. Downloading music like crazy. Paramore's new album, all the wonderful things Pandora chooses for me to listen to while I slave away at my JOB (my current fav is Joshua Radin), New Moon soundtrack (and don't judge here because the movies may be straight Velveeta cheese, but the soundtracks are awesome), Miranda Lambert's new album, I could go on and on. So with all my new music I'm loving I'll change up the tunes today for you all too!

7. Traveling. I drove to Dallas for a weekend, actually only a Saturday and Sunday and then I turned around and flew there the following Wednesday for work. Sometimes I feel like the universe is trying to point me back there, but for now I choose to ignore the signs. What can I say, I'm stubborn. I was also supposed to go to Cinncinatti last week to visit our stores there but the corporate plane was "broken," listening to the universe on that one trust me.

8. Slowing it down. I may not be listening to the universe telling my where to live, but I am listening when it tells me that being sick for three weeks in a row means I'm not making enough me time. So with that in mind today is for watching the Bears on TV play football (and wishing I was there in Waco), pedicures, more office supply shopping (as far as addictions go I don't think this one is too bad), and taking pictures of fall leaves because having seasons is one of the reasons I love living here. Maybe I'll even blog a bit more too. What I'm just saying it could happen. :)




PS I did not take this one, but it reminds me of Little Rock and the Arkansas River.

It's Getting Spooky

The beginning of October means one thing for me: time to break out the Halloween decorations. Last weekend I brought it all out and had a fun afternoon deciding where everything should go. I like to change it up every year, plus the new stuff (I have a slight addiction to themed decor) needs a place too. So here is the result of my efforts, now if only October were longer...
Love that this is a star, but also a Halloween decoration.


Look what popped up in my planter box!




Tiny little pumpkin on the outside table.



Creepy spider tea light holders (one of my favorite items by far)



Little ghost sign hanging on my kitchen window.



This candle is so cool when lit and the best part is the black part is removable so once the candle it can be replaced with a new one.



Cute little wire pumpkin and pear and a Happy Halloween sign on the door.



So I hoped you enjoyed my Halloween decorations.
I had my first Arbonne party and it went really well. Right now it seems like a lot of money is going out and none is coming in, but hopefully that will change soon. I have another party next week and then a weekend of parties in Dallas. Let's just say this month is really really busy, but I'm working towards a goal so its worth all of it.
Going to bed early tonight, the plumber comes early tomorrow to change my kitchen sink faucet. I'm very excited!
