I am leaving today at 6ish to head about an hour west of my house to spend the night at my moms and then I will be picked up there tomorrow morning. I have got my pillow gifts done for the family and just about everything else except packing. For some reason I just don't want to pack. I think it cause I can't decide what to take and just hoped it would end up in my suitcase. I am going to finish lunch then go pack!!!

My kids love ear candles. It makes their ears feel better and they can hear better. It is quite soothing.

Ok, I have everything done to leave and I am not leaving for another hour and a half. Time is just going so slow, waiting to leave. I am getting more and more excited but it feels like it will take forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! You've all been busy!The ear candling is amazingly soothing, especially with the facial massage. You hear something that sounds like a crackling fire. My ears aren't itchy. It's great.Between that and the mani/pedi I got, complete with massage chair, I am feeling fabulously pampered and relaxed.

Rae I am so jealous of your relax-ness right now! I have had a tension headache all day! I know once my show is over tonight and I get home and get my suitcases packed things will be better...

Welcome back everyone! I landed about 5 hours ago after a horribly bumpy flight and am about ready to pass out, but of course had to come back on here first. I am so glad I got to meet so many of you!!! My favorite memory is of seeing Rae on the 1st day up on stage in the workshop and realizing, "omgoodness, I know her... that's raebates!" It was so much fun to go to conference and actually know and recognize people! For those of you that missed the MnG, I hope you can make it next year... lots of fun and we will all have to post our pics (as long as there isn't any bad ones of me that is :D) carolyn... did your kids get their luggage yet?

Just to clarify, I wasn't leading a workshop or anything like Carolyn. I was simply a volunteer cast as the devil. I fluctuate between thinking I was cast against type and realizing that I was most likely type-cast.

oh, yeah, and it was hysterical to see the looks on people's faces when, after the workshop, someone walked up to me and said, "Are you Rae Bates? I'm YummyBites!"

I know --
I never realized how um... awkward my name was...
It sounds like a strange stripper/porn star name or something.

That was awesome though.

Jenn~ just wait until you get your stripper star to go along with your stripper name! I got funny looks from my cluster when people would come up to me and say "you're gourmet girl!" and then when I told them about my stripper star... I have set it my goal to really work my business and be able to not work full time come spring, so that I can go to grad school full time and do PC full time as well. Hopefully with this as my goal, I will prove my upline and cluster wrong about message boards as they will see I can balance work, grad school, pc and being on the message boards! with this said, I am taking my tired behind (who has only been up for 8 hours actually!) back to bed, so I can try to go to office max and office depot before work in the morning... gotta love school supply season!! wahoo!

I consider that feeling to be Conference Hangover. I was dragging on Sunday, but I'm ready to hit the ground running today! I've got a lot of ideas to implement. :)

Well Rae...my tired behind didn't actually fall asleep until 3:30am... and then I was at work at 9:30 this morning... low and behold I am now in the process of losing my voice with a very sore throat... I left work early and am not about to go grab a nap... I had planned to make some calls this evening and would like a voice, as I need to work for the money this week and I have a show on Thursday (I spend my day on the phone at work, so no voice = no work). I quite like the term conference hangover however... very nice.

Also, after lots of thinking, playing around with numbers and looking at life, I have made a plan for myself... attached is the flyer I have hung up throughout my house... My plan is based on the 7,000 points I currently have and is for August - December... you may have to change it for your points/situation...

Wooooohooo!! Those are great goals, Allison!! You go, girl!

Allison! Those are exactly my goals, too! I want to be on crossing that stage next year as a new director & want the cruise! If I do both of those, I'll get TPC for sure!! :)

Crystal -- we can do it! I just have to remind myself to "reach for the moon, even if I fail, I'll land amongst the stars!"
