She appologized when I got there about not calling me. I said it was fine and I understand it gets busy. I told her I hoped she could understand my message since she wouldn't be able to reach me.
The good thing is she has a Weight Watchers meeting at her house every Monday night so people were already coming anyway. I made them two things out of "It's Good For You." I made the Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza and the Easy Apple Burritos. They loved both of them. They are a happy bunch and really liked talking and not listening to me, but that was okay. I just let groups have fun and talk like that. They appologized for talking. I told them that was fine. I always got in trouble for talking when I was little. My report cards would say, "Good student, but talks too much
." They laughed and thought it was so funny. They talked about how they had a Home Interiors rep. before she left mad because they were talking through her demo and said that to them. Too funny!Thanks for thinking about me
