I love my dots tote that I earned. If you don't have a tote it is a must! I booked two shows tonight at a Fourth of July block party. This wasn't in my neighborhood. When one lady came over and ask for a catalog, I was the hit of the party. I was like sliced bread. They all hadn't seen PC for awhile. I got two shows on the calendar.
 
Good for you!
 
Go Julie!!! :D
 
Way To Go Julie.....:D

Thank you! I went to the block party relunctanly, as my wisdom teeth are really still bothering me. I went anyway and tried to think: smile! I did tell everyone about my teeth, so I didn't appear unfriendly if I wasn't talking much. I talked through the pain and got the bookings. Yeah! Now today I'm really paying for it. Ouch!! As soon as I'm feeling better, I plan on getting back on the phone. I called the dentist today (he's off), but he's having me come into the office in a 1/2 hour and get some instant pain relief and a refill on my prescription. (What a nice dentist! He could have just called someone in for me) If I can't control pain by Wed. he's having me come in. I NEED to get better before flying next Monday!
