Last night I had the pleasure to meet the Cheffers at the MnG! Since I've still so very new to PC (going on my 3rd week), it was wonderful to see the comraderie, support and smiles all around. I'm happy to have gone, even for a short while, and the Cheffers really are a welcoming group!

So here's to all the wonderful Cheffers and I look forward to building relationships here, along with my business!! :D
 
Glad you got to meet everyone!! Who was there and did anyone take any pictures!!

I got a couple pics - which I'll upload/post tonight when I get home :)

There were quite a few, and I didn't catch everyone's name/screen name. But I do remember some.... DebbieJ, AJPratt, Dawn, (eek... apologies to everyone else who's name has slipped my mind!)
 
Great job on going to NC before your first month as a consultant is up!!!

It was great meeting you gals in person:) Gosh, I couldn't believe it when I looked at my watch & it was after 11....another short night!

I truly believe everyone was surpised I was not depressed all the time LOL! I really am a usualy upbeat person. I had such a wonderful time meeting everyone. Conference was awesome. I am working on recovering from my airport issue. I talked about some of my adventures on the other thread. I heard a couple of non-cheffers were not pleased with their workships. Please let the HO know how you felt about your experiences so that they can make changes as needed. I think they truly want to know I actualy got Don Funt as a speaker for my Supporting New Consultants Workshop

I think I started the Rabbit ears thing that night :cool:

I am exhausted but pleased with my experience. Where else am I going to do the Macarena with my Director LOL!

Kathy,

Glad you made it home safely. I wondered how many people were being delayed when the storms hit our house (they come right across Lake Michigan from Chicago to Niles). We even had a tornado warning (that amounted to zilch -- luckily).

So you are the rabbit ears culprit. . .

And it's true, Kathy was not walking around in a state of depression :) -- she exudes warmth and a positive spirit.

Loved meeting all of you! Wished I could have stayed longer, but we walked back to the Palmer House and needed to get going before it got any later. I could have stayed for hours! Sorry to hear about your airport fiasco Jeanine. We flew out at noon today, and our flight was pushed back only 10 minutes, although we changed gates 4 times!
 
  • #32
It was sooo much fun! I have to say, I have had a REALLY tough time at the day job (hence the coffee biz) and seeing all you guys so happy to see me, really MADE MY WEEK (not just my day)!!!! I love you all!

And, wasn't my director a crack-up? We really appreciated all the participants in the "Dawn & Anne Show"! LOL (Those who were there KNOW what I mean!)
 
  • #33
Your director was such a HOOT! Your cluster mtgs. must be a blast!
 
  • #34
Thanks for all your kind words - You guys are so awesome I can't wait until LEADERSHIP to see all of you again. HINT HINT
I am getting my hubby fired up about the business. I was so afraid the airport incident would get him negative about PC.

American Airlines was awful this trip except the ladies I talked to on the phone. I usually don't complain but I will this time. Even before the flight cancellation I was very displeased with the customer service of the gate staff and flight attendants. Have they forgotten what a smile is?

Not me. I was on the South Shore commuter train by 2:45 (chicago time) and home by about 6:00 (michigan time). It's a great, relatively stress-free, way to travel.
 
  • #36
I had a blast meeting you guys. Missed quite a few because Gino's took too long. I enjoyed our informal MnG at McCormick as well as the late crew at the official MnG. Oh thanks for the cookies (even w/ all the walking I did I still gained 2 pounds because I ate bad, oh well) that were so darn good. I screamed really loud for all the cheffers, so next year when I walk get your butts a screaming.:D
 
  • #37
You'll have to add me in, I was so tired frm 3 hours of sleep the night before, that I left once I met the girls from Maine & Kathy! Sorry I missed everyone!!

That's what we did for Wave 1 too Jeanine.....and LOVE that the train makes a stop so close to the hotels! It's a cheap way to travel too!:D

Great Time! The whole experience was just incredible!!! So nice to put faces to names! It was like we had known each other forever!!!
 
  • #41
Hey y'all.....what a bummer I missed you! But I did see Deb a few times and Sue and I caught up form last year. Was it just me or did all the days meld together? LOL!!
MY trip home yesterday was a not exactly smooth! LOL! It is always a bit uncomfortable to hear the pilot say we have to detour to get more gas! LOL!! I made it home a few hours late after spending what seemed like a lifetime at O'Hare! Now I just have to get ready for the movers to come Monday! LOL!

I'll "see" y'all in Cinnicinati!!
 
  • #42
I had an awesome time too! I barely got in for the picture and didn't get to stay long, but I'm so glad I got to meet you all!

We had an hour and 1/2 delay in leaving from Midway. Bad thunder and lighting. By the time we got back to KC and then back to my upline directors house where my van was and I got back to Lawrence it was 1:45 A.M. EEK! At least I didn't have to work my day job.

Thanks again everyone!

Sherri: Glad you made it home!
