[wadesgirl]

Thanks for keeping up with this Ann! I'm super excited to go! I just booked a party the Monday before we leave - EEK!

 

[pampered1224]

Remind All HostsOF YOUR JULY SHOWS THAT YOU MAY SPONTANIOUSLY COMBUST DUE TO AN OVERALL EXCITEMENT LEVEL. I have three hosts that know what I am like when I get back from conference. They are all vying for the weekends after conference to get me! Yep, little ol' me is a wanted man after conference. (I just gotta figure out how to do that all year around!) YEE HAA. I knew I should a stayed out of here! Sorry Ann!

 

[chefann]

<giggle> I'm trying to book that last week of July myself. But my goofy (or insert other adjective here) upline just scheduled a team meeting on Tuesday, the 22nd. Who schedules a meeting on a night that's part of an HO-sponsored incentive?!? I already know that she's going to want a conference report from the few of us who are going (right now, I know of 4 from her local team, including me). Sorry, Charlie - I'm booking a show that night.

Wave 3 people who are walking the stage had better watch out! I got a clicker counter so I can keep track of how many people wear sleeveless who shouldn't.

I'm sry to say but that's rather rude.

 

[chefann]

It's a joke in my cluster that there are always a LOT of women who either should tone up their arms before they wear sleeveless, or learn how to wave without setting off ultra-jiggle. My personal opinion is that sleeveless isn't business (or business casual) attire and shouldn't be worn at conference at all. (And counting the fashion faux-pas makes the interminable awards ceremonies a little bearable.)

I have to sit with you during general sessions!

 

[Chef Kearns]

That's the best part! Being the fashion police! Of course this year I'm going to be critiqued! I'm scared!

 

[pampered1224]

Ann and Lamar...you two had BETTER tell me where you are gonna be sitting or I am gonna, well, I may just have to jump off the balcony!

And I can "Snap" with the best of them! (You should of heard me and my director a couple of years ago! You would have thought we were "MODE" magazine for cryin out loud.)

I know how you feel Sandra! I've been having a ball criticizing outfits for the last 2 years - I hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the hiney now that I get to cross that glorious stage! Just remember to cover the upper arm (even the skinny-minis have arm fat that swings the opposite way when you wave!) and wear pretty shoes - shoes on stage scream 'look at me'.

 

[mrsbettyboop0000]

Ok, all of you have me scared to walk now!! I already can take like 10 outfits into the dressing room and only walk out with one. I'm just that picky!! Now it's going to be even harder!! I'm gonna be waving at myself in the mirror looking for that arm fat!!! LOL I'm probably gonna have a 2nd, 3rd , 4th & 5th opinion. :yuck: :cry:

 

[chefann]

There is a trick to waving without jiggling. Hold your arm up so that it's between vertical and 45º, with the elbow bent so that your forearm is horizontal above your head (your hand will be above your other ear). Leave your upper arm stationary and move the hand in a single arc, pivoting from the elbow and ending when the arm is straight.
