Just came right out and said "you're dumb"? hummm. Wondering about that ID now.
Well in so many words... I have awesome consultants that tell me like it is. So what I'm doing isnt for everyone. Okie dokie. Doesn't have to be! Someone said earlier that there is room for all kinds of companies out there. This board however, does have something special and I'm glad to be a part of it. If me doing Pampered Chef for a year and a half to meet all of you guys, then it was worth every minute. :D
Miss Julie, I love you. You know that right? Rips my heart out to lose you... Juuuulieeee, oh juuuulieeee.. this is me serenading you. ;)
(note to that Luv'nPC - that is a JOKE. Julie is a friend of mine and was a friend before I pressured her - oops I mean, recruited her).. LOL

Did you at least get the kiddos into bed Diane??

Yeah, they're sleeping on the living room floor (they're having a camp-out; we "roasted" marshmallows in the microwave). My DH just went up to bed, and he said, "Chri** woman, get off the computer already." I told him I'm doing research:D .

Good job, GourmetGirl, for going to grad school. I did that while working full-time, too, and was so glad I finished!

Whoa. Have you ever realized that what you're doing now, although it may seem crazy, makes perfect sense when you look way far ahead and understand that you HAVE to go through this for your dream to eventually come true?
Seriously. Either I need sleep or I just had an epiphany thanks to Alison for making me say it out loud. :eek:

The token male (gay male for that matter... if it matters... which it doesn't!) in our full upline cluster pointed out just how funny it is that a song that is all about homosexuality is a song that every person (child, adult whoever!) in America knows and is the song that PC used in it's conference...
