Okay, of course I am kidding :D , allthough walking from the North Pole to the South Pole just to get to the workshops kind of bit the big one:rolleyes: , why they did that this year I have noooo idea!

I just wanted to pop on here and say that it was so nice to meet the cheffers that I did...SoonerPC, GourmetGirl, KyleChef and there were are couple more but my brain is failing right now!!

There were several times I asked people if they were cheffers only to get a "what in the world are you talking about look"!!! :rolleyes: :p Oh well, I love to embarrass myself.:cool:

Conference was wonderful as usual and now I can't wait to find time to implement all of my ideas....

Glad I'm not the only one!
 
I asked as well, I should of grabbed the mike when I won my spree and said something, but I didn't think of that till later. I almost stood up in the begining of my classes and said something then I lost my braveness.
 
I seriously thought about doing that, too, but I was too frikkin' tired and winded from the walking! *lol*
 
I too was very happy to meet some of my fellow cheffers. Thanks for a great 1st conference!!
 
And I am so glad Amanda called me when she won the spree - I guess it was my consolation prize that I "knew" one of the winners! :rolleyes:
 
loreedfk, you were the only number I had brought w/ me. I was so excited, I hate to see what my cell bill is next month because my long distance wasn't free, I was out of the western states.:)
 
was happy to meet those that I did...glad to hear you won the spree..my consultant that came with me won as well!!! For those in Wave 2 that were on the bus...just thought I'd let you know that Stephanie ( the shopper who picked and chose her items and drove us crazy by being so "slow") got 20 boxes delivered today...with the average weight being 42 pounds. She added up the product amount and has $3,562 worth of product...So I guess she did something right!!!! ha ha
Just thought I'd let ya all know that...she got every piece of cookware from every set including all open stock pieces...and all her stoneware that she was hoping for

The Yahoo Boards? What is that? I am pretty new to this site and to PC. How cool to win all of that in a shopping spree!
