OOps. yes Booking!! I wanted to get the post out there fast!
 
Melissa, I took a look at your blog, and your part about your Mom and the pony-tail holder brought tears to my eyes. I have a flannel shirt of my dad's that causes the same reaction, and also some clothes of my mom's I do not want to wash them, because they still smell of her perfume. I hope I never cease to respond the same way. My father passed in 1990, and I can no longer remember his voice,. and it kills me. but I can hold his shirt, and the memories come flodding back.

Ok, I am done! I left 12 messages on voice mails. 1 with a husband. Talked to 4 live people. I have 2 shows booked, one person who is going to call me back with a date, and 1 catalog show.

I am telling them about the extra free product (up to $75.00) and I am telling them I am offering Budget Friendly meals Themed shows in January. Telling them I will come show their friends and family how to make tasty and budget friendly meals for under $2.00 per serving. So right now I have 4 shows on my Jan calendar, one more with date to follow, and I am going to try to book two other dates by the end of this week! Then I have the one catalog show and I am hoping to secure two other catalog shows from out-of-town friends. Good luck Julie!
 
In 45 minutes I've left messages on more than 20 answering machines. I'm calling two back within the hour (family said would be back). I booked a catalog show for my new recruit (The show lead on my list I found out works at the school with my new recruit) so I'm giving her the show. I'm ending tonight on a 'high. I have a recruiting interview with a bilingual lady tomorrow at 5:30 PM. I've been in touch with her since July when I met her at a fair. This is the first time she's agreed to meet with me. I told her I could answer all her questions in 30 minutes. Wish me luck. I have really been trying to add a bilingual consultant to my team. We have a high % of Hispanic in my county. She would do very well. She'll make #5 for me!!!!
 
You do realize that the free product is up to $100, not $75, right?

Oops! Why did I think it was $75.00?! Oh well. Thanks Kate for the clarification.Nice work Julie!! Sue- It is so crazy to me that after almost 30 years you still react that way to your Father's shirt. I keep waiting for it to get easier, but am starting to realize by what people tell me that it never really does. Blah. My Mom is so new, only 3 months. But, I when I let my mind relax I see visions of her in my head, and sometimes I feel like they are fuzzy and fading. It makes me nervous, like I am going to forget what she looks like. Silly I know. We do not have many pictures of her because she HATED getting her picture taken. It is funny about the perfume.... a while ago, someone was wearing the hairspray My Mom uses-Aussie. I just about flipped smelling it!
