I don't know, Nikki. I'd have to leave weeks early to bike from Marysville, OH, to Chicago. Think of all the business you'd miss. LOL!

Today is 5/6/07.Days until the start of Wave 2: 66.The Furry Guy is already tired of hearing about NC. I'm so glad I have this place to obsess about it without annoying him further.
 
My niece spent the night last night and we went to Tim Horton's for breakfast. I have a host coaching CD from last NC playing in my car...she was like - what is that and why are you listening to it. I told her I'm just so excited about going to conference, I'm getting a head start.

Rae - share your excitment anytime you want :)

Ah - Tim Horton's... I love those little Timbits. :) One thing that I miss about being married to my ex-husband. And that's the only thing I miss.

Sorry - hijack over. :)

My son turns 8 in 9 days and I agree that the days are flying by. Once I get his birthday parties out of the way then I can concentrate on conference and getting the rest of June booked. I am excited about getting away!!:) :)

Tim Horton's is a donut chain that, I think, started in Canada (where my ex is from). I think they are owned by Wendy's, at least in the states. Mostly, I think they're in Michigan & Ohio. I don't know that for sure though.

Timbit's are these lovely little donut holes that are sooo yummy. The cake ones are my fav, but they have different kinds, like honey, raisin, etc. :)
 
I can not wait. There is a great group of ladies going from my cluster and I can not wait to get away.

Today is 05/09/07Days until the start of Wave 2: 63.Don't forget to add the contact information for your shows in the few weeks after NC and postcard stamps to your packing list. While you're in Chicago, pick up some postcards, and send them to those hosts with a note that you're learning lots of great things to help make their shows a success.

Thanks. It's a great idea that I got from someone before I went to NC in 2005. The hosts who received postcards were flattered that I thought of them while I was away. Brownie points for Rae! It's those personal touches that make for really loyal customers.

I plan to take the info for everyone hosting within 6 weeks of NC.
