A Crazy Night - But Hoping Your Show Was Awesome!

How was your show tonight???
I am sorry I had to hang up so abruptly -- I was running the kids to soccer and as we were driving, we passed their Dad and he was heading to the wrong field and the kids are yelling "Call Daddy - tell him we're at the other field!!!" It was utter chaos...
Anyway - thanks for the call...I hope you had an aweseom show tonight!:D :chef:
 
It was a fun fun show! There were @ 10 ladies there and sales are over $700 with two bookings.
 
WHOHOO Linda!
 
Carolyn - I'm chuckling that you are taking kids to soccer on a field while we are cross-country skiing!!!!

Congrats on an awesome show! :D

Sorry if you already posted this but details wanted woman! What'd you make, did you change your show at all? Try interactive, no demo, what?

Jodi, I made Becky's Chicken Fajita's in the microwave (see the I Love.... thread). Several of the guests were past hosts who are PC junkies! One of the gals who booked a show used my mix 'n masher to make the guacamole and she raved about it. They also loved it when I cut the onion with the apple wedger.

Hey Linda. I noticed you are from GA. I'm from AL. Are yall expecting snow tomorrow night? They are saying we are likely to get 3-5 inches!!! I'm so excited. I know I won't be able to sleep. I want me and my baby to build a snow man. Heck, it hasn't snowed significantly here in 10 years. I'll probably be out there doing snow angels. LOL

Hey, Linda! You didn't say you had a show when you called me yesterday - glad it went well for you. And you are such a sweetie to call and check up.BTW- I'll be at work again today. :)
 
  • #16
Wow what a great show - congrats! Sure beats the heck out of mine that was only $50 on Monday! She's trying to get outside orders though. Her goal is the $500 mark. Just hoping she gets to the $150 mark, if you know what I mean!

I have 3 more this month, hopefully they will be much better!!

All of you in the South are welcome to have our Northern snow anytime:)! I must say I really don't enjoy it anymore unless I don't have to drive in it! Of course now it's even worse because I have a teenage driver!

Yes we are. I'm on the south side of town and we aren't supposed to get that much. I've got shows on Sat & Sun and I hope they don't cancel on me!

I was driving to my show when I called. You have to let us know when you will be 'working'. When you are away for more than and hour I start to worry about you!

I was thinking the same thing ! I would give about anything to go watch a soccer game OUTSIDE right about now!! Although I do love the snow it gets old after 30+ inches in a single month

I had the same thought, Kelly. :)

It's like that old joke about the 3 fastest forms of communication: telephone, telegraph, and tell a Cheffer. :D

I personally forgot Linda's last name and had to click to see if she meant PamperedLinda!!!!

So, yes, some curiousity...

Then, when she posted show results, I HAD to cheer her on... :D

If Carolyn wanted privacy, she would have sent a PM. :p

  • #30
Yup - started a cold weather check-in thread for all of us today...Actually nope, that is NEGATIVE ONE degrees.
 
  • #32
ChefBeckyD said:
No Linda - she said Minus 1!

Exactly, I'll take those 2 degrees today!
 
  • #33
Yikes! that's all I can say.....well, I can also say brrrrrr!
okay, I've procrastinated away enough time this morning. I gotta go to the bank (deposit last night's show :D ), fill the car with gas since it's gonna be snowing here tomorrow and well, I guess the car needs gas if it's gonna snow - right? and, then off to the gym :eek: , DH added me on his Gold's Gym membership so I'm gonna start today (I've been saying that all week! :rolleyes: ). If I don't make it back here this afternoon, you'll know that I died of pure exhaustion at the gym!

I'm back!

They didn't kill me at the gym. I took a cynergie (sp?) class - kind of a cross between pilates, yoga, and stretching. I am now stretched! It felt good too.

It is a newer latin-style workout class...

Google it and you'll see TONS of stuff on it.

It was a lot of work...then we stretched afterwards....
 
  • #39
I had my Zumba class again today - it's totally fun and we have a guy teaching the class - he's a hoot!
 
  • #40

WHOHOO Linda - still dreaming about my first $1000 show...maybe it'll be this weekend???? :rolleyes:
 
  • #44
You'll get there Janet! And when you do we'll celebrate with you. Funny thing, it takes forever to have a $1000 show but once you do they start happening more often.

hey lindaHi Linda and everyone
Just wanted to let you know that I am back on...for some crazy reason I have not been able to get on to CS for 2 weeks. I have been going crazy!!! Tried everything...including having Linda get in touch with Deb and/or Greg. I contacted them about 20 times with no avail...I realize they are soooo busy as we are....anyhow, I finally resorted to starting all over again and re-registering and paying again...didn't know what else to do....been having withdrawals. Only thing is, I start back at "ZERO" now with posts and all.
Do want to share that I have a show tomorrow nite and my host is already over $500.00 in outside orders...I am also making the fajitas in the DCB along with the brownie molten skillet cake thingy!!!! Can't wait!!!
