I leave in a couple hours for a bridal shower.....3 hours away! My dad told me I'm crazy; I told him I'll do anything to earn a trip this year:) Plus, with a bridal show, you know there'll be people there & that they'll order. She's got 15 confirmed, maybe a few more.
Got a new recruiting cd to listen to, & I'll enjoy a few hours of not hearing my girls arguing!
 
I hope you do wonderfully!!!
Let us know
 
Good luck Lacy! I hope your drive is uneventful. :)
 
Drive safely... let us know how it turns out~
 
Good Luck Lacy, I know you will do awesome. I will join you on that trip!
 
Good Luck Lacy! 3 hours which direction? Bridal showers are always really good shows for me. Hopefully it's somewhere exciting (in Kansas? I know.........) so you can mix a little business with pleasure and write it off!

It was just a bit south of Emporia....good show so far; 15 came & sales are almost to $600, with a few more orders coming. The bride was so excited when she looked at the list of all she's getting. The drive was not bad at all; listened to a good training cd & re-listened to my favorite one.
 
AWESOME LACY!! Keep em coming, right!!!:D :D
 
WAHOO! Good for you. Hope you didn't have too much trouble fighting the wind yesterday. (I drive a high profile SUV and sometimes it's really a chore).
