Relaxing...

I can't believe I have some time to relax! So, I'm sitting here and catching up on reading blogs and thinking that I should take a few minutes to write one myself.

These past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. My main concern is work. Yes...I'm working, but everyday it gets harder and harder to go in and deal with the difficult environment. The 9-10 hour days are wearing my body down and it's effecting my workout schedule. That's right....I joined Snap Fitness with Missy and we are trying to workout everyday. Because of work and other scheduling issues, I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday. But I'm sure that will change today...I'm sure we'll be going to the gym after Small Group tonight. I'm really excited about the weight that I have already lost...and can't wait to lose more!

There is so much going on right now and I just can't believe how time is flying so fast! Before I know it, 2009 will be over....I better enjoy it now!!!!!!!!!

Finally....A Day Off!!

I took a little road trip to spend the day with one of my best friends (and Scentsy sponsor), Amanda. Amanda lives near Lexington and I wanted to just get away from everyday life and come down here to relax for a day. I was able to sleep in till 9am! I haven't done that in a while because I work and every time I turn around...there is something Scentsy related that I have to take care of.

I'm lovin' Scentsy! There is really a lot of fun involved and it's great that I get to work with Amanda on ideas for parties so that we can earn fun money! It's not really like a job at all, but it's a cool way to earn some extra cash. Missy has helped me tremendously with Scentsy too! She is my "Human Calculator" and my "UPS pick-up girl"! Thanks Missy and Amanda for all you do to help me out with this! Oh and if anyone is reading this and you're curious as to what Scentsy is...just go to my website and check it out....and if you book a party, you could earn free and half priced product. My website is www.scentsy.com/makinscents and you can also reach me via email at makinscents@live.com to ask any questions.

Missy and I have been so busy traveling too. We love to go to our concerts and spend time with our favorite bands! Last month we went to Paducah, KY to see Emerson Drive and then we also went to Pittsburgh to see Adam Gregory and Quincy, IL to see Emerson Drive AGAIN!!! We don't have any concerts planned this month because no one is close enough to go see, but there will be more in the future....I'm sure of it!

Well....I guess since it's almost 1pm, I better hop in the shower and start my day...I love doing NOTHING!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Yes...I'm here...

Hey everyone! I have had several conversations during the past couple of days about how I haven't blogged in almost a month. So, basically this is a blog about why I haven't been blogging!

I started working! At first, I wasn't thrilled with the job because the atmosphere isn't a very pleasant place to be. Everyone keeps to themselves and during the first week, I only knew how to do 2 or 3 things and it was getting boring fast. I just felt like I didn't fit in and I have never experienced that at a job before.

The next reason why you haven't seen me a lot lately is because I have become a Scentsy Wickless Independent Consultant. Missy is helping me with parties...she is my human calculator! I am having a blast having candle parties with everyone, but it is taking up a lot of time and I don't know how to organize my time better.

I will admit that I haven't been on the computer a lot lately and it's also because of all the awesome TV shows that are on. I have struggled with staying away from the TV, but these shows are so addicting! I love reality TV and I just can't get away from it. Which reminds me, my friend, Chuck Wicks, will be dancing on Dancing with the Stars with his girlfriend starting on ABC, Monday, March 9th....please watch and VOTE! I told Chuck last week that he was going to win because of all the phone numbers and email addresses that Missy and I have!

So, that has been what's going on. There is a lot more I'm sure that I left out, but I have to get ready to go to a concert in Paducah, KY tonight. I hope to see everyone at church in the morning! Have a great day!

It is FINALLY time......

......to go back to work! Yes! I finally got a call today to start a job tomorrow! This is a shipping/receiving job and it's over on Reading Road (near Ronald Regan Highway) and it's thru a temp agency, but I'm just happy to be going back to work. I'm always a little nervous about starting a new job, but let's hope this one goes smoothly. Although it may be just a temporary job, it is a long term job with the possibilty of them hiring me! With all my shipping experience, there shouldn't be a problem with learning the job, but every company works differently. Please pray that everything goes smoothly for me tomorrow!

Reality TV Shows!

One of my all time favorite things to do is watch Reality TV shows. Think about it...they are everywhere! Survivor is my favorite, followed by American Idol! But I was just thinking about how different each one is. I've watched True Beauty, Amazing Race, Survivor, American Idol, America's Got Talent, Beauty and The Geek, Deal or No Deal, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Hell's Kitchen, Nashville Star, Secret Millionaire, While You Were Out, Trading Spaces, and Dancing With The Stars!!! There are thousands of them and I can't imagine watching more than I already do, but this season is going to be great on Dancing With The Stars!

As many of you know, Missy and I love to travel and see concerts. Our absolute favorite band to go see is Emerson Drive and another favorite country music artist is Chuck Wicks. Chuck is so fun to talk to and visit with after his shows and for a while now, Chuck has been dating Dancing With The Stars Dancer, Julianne Hough. Now it's just been announced that Chuck will be on the show this season and his partner will be his girlfriend, Julianne. They are so cute together and Chuck is such a goofball! It's going to be totally interesting to see him on the show this year! The season starts on Monday, March 9th on ABC!! Be sure to tune in and watch Chuck and Julianne dance all their way to the championship!

I know I will be voting for them...how about you?

Ray got naked again?!?!?

"All the Way Ray" is what we like to call him...especially when he drops his shorts on the beach! I mean....geesh, Ray! How many times are we going to have to see that? Ray always knows how to turn a boring day into an extraordinary day with all this streaking he's been participating in!



So, after our small group tonight at the Strimple's house, we decided to sit down and watch last week's episode of "True Beauty". John and Jan got Missy and I hooked on this show because of all the drama on the show. If you love to watch reality TV shows, then this is a good one. One of the contestants on the show, Ray, is famous for stripping and running around naked. We know that this show doesn't sound like it would be an interesting show, but you'd just have to watch it to understand. These "beauties" are on the show to compete for People's Magazine "Most Beautiful Person" article. They are being judged on their inner beauty as well and they don't even know it!

Haha you all thought that I was talking about P Ray, didn't you? LOL

The Price is Right!

Yesterday was a very exciting day! Missy and I were on the Price is Right! Sarah invited me over to her house for a Price is Right party and it was so much fun hanging out with her. I asked Christine on Sunday if she would like me to pick her up so that she could join the party and she said yes. We spend almost 5 hours at Sarah's house just talking and laughing and watching all the boys play. I learned a lot yesterday...Eli knows how to undress himself and Isaac loves to fly in the air! Isaac loves to read Hop on Pop and Eli loves the ball pit! There were some interesting topics that came up in our 5-hour discussion...like how many times a day do you clean your ears and how many states does everyone live in? Of course when girls get together, you never know what's going to come out of their mouths! It was a great day and I can't wait to do it again! Thanks Sarah for hosting the party and baking for us!
