Got mine!
What I really need is the supply that is supposed to come today!!
 
got mine but still not done packing for my show tonight so no playing for me. Also trying to do my host packets for February! AGH!! All I want to do is PLAY!!!
 
Well it looks like I'm getting nothing until at least tomorrow. I have 4 boxes coming - 2 supply and the 2 director. 2 are sitting in St. Louis for some strange reason - my boxes don't come that way. Another one got to Charlotte a few minutes ago and the last one says it's in Chicago. :mad::grumpy: :cry:

Orders always take 2 days, just 2 days, to get to me so they SHOULD be here today if FedEx would have routed them like they normally do. My last show took less than 48 hours from the time I SUBMITTED to delivery here.
 
YEA! Just got box 1 of 2!!! I really love this new bamboo!!
 
Received my supply order, my Director products (3 boxes) yesterday and one of my consultant's received her Sellathon today and said the Fed Ex man said he had a few more for me today too!:party:

I was stamping supplies like a mad woman last night trying to get it all down to one or two cases...now more....oh how very terrible...NOT!!!:approve:
 
Just got mine! It's such an exciting time. Plus I ordered my paperwork yesterday and got it today. I can't wait to read all the reviews, tips, etc.
 
I got my director pkgs today and I'm supposed to be getting 1 tomorrow so I'm guessing it's my sell a thon. It's 20lbs worth! I also get 30 reusable shopping bags tomorrow so it'll be a shopping day tomorrow again!!
 
Ugg. I'm going to stop reading this thread. I ordered my paperwork on the 23rd and hopefully I'll finely get it tomorrow.

Mine arrived just as I was running out, so I haven't taken anything out except the pineapple wedger. I bought a pineapple a couple days ago and hadn't cut it up yet.It is very cool, but could be difficult to use for anyone who is short. I couldn't get enough leverage and had to have my husband help me get it started! I'll need to stand on a stool to use this!

The gentleman demonstrating it at Leadership cut it in half. He told us that was a good way to do it if you need more leverage. I just asked my hubby to stop and get the pineapple for me. I am so excited about it!!!

No. The 2 shows in December items are not in the director packet. Nor the Deep Covered Baker - for recruiting in November.
 
thanks beth,
so i guess my SAT items and items for 2 dec shows are still to come...i am usually right on top of this..but for some reason i can't get a handle on it...thank you for your patience....i feel like a child who keeps asking the same question over and over...i know i have way too much on my plate right now but i am concentrating on my bookings, cc and recruiting and team morale that the details of the rest of my life are falling apart! i am praying and working on balance :)
 
It's okay. {{{hugs}}} We all go through times that we think we'll break if we get one more thing on our plate. Step back and take a breath. No one thinks you're dumb or anything for not remembering every detail. It's okay to give yourself a break.:chef:
 
thanks beth...i know no one thinks i am a dumb, just me :) i am used to knowing the details...in fact on another post they were discussing what you earned for each level of the SAT and i replied that it was for our June sales totally forgetting november! I keep telling myself to breathe...its been a hectic week..i know we all have them...people keep telling me its still the pregnancy hormones...he is 9mos old now..i want my hormones back to normal...lol...enjoy all your new products! thanks for listening (reading)...you must be an Awesome director & Mom :) {{hugs}} back at ya!

My baby is 20 and I'm waiting to get my "hormones" back to normal. HAHA


Thanks for the compliment. You don't know what it means to me at this time - we all have our "issues". Take care, rest, hug your baby, and have fun. Life's too short to stress.

Looks like my pack hasn't even gone out. :cry: At 8:00 last night a supervisor gave approval for overnight delivry (to arrive Saturday), but I just don't know if it will honestly get here in time for Monday's cluster meeting.

I didn't realize I was going to receive the director pack until a couple weeks ago when Beth posted the policies regarding qualification and waiver months (thank you Beth!). Afterwards I called HO and asked if they could send my pack to another state (where I hold my cluster meetings.) Because of the unique circumstances (long story), they agreed to change the shipping label.

Getting the director packs and SAT boxes out on a strict time-line must be a logistical nightmare. So I guess my pack got put aside until after the rush. Unfortunately, I head back home on Tuesday. ***deep sigh***

The company has been very good to me over the last few months, so this isn't a vent...just sharing a little sadness over trying to do best for my team and realizing it might be a bust.:(
 
I hope it arrives in time.

Do you need a dinner and a glass of wine and a place to sleep on your way home?

You know how to get in touch with me. You are always welcome to come for a visit or even just a pee break if that's all you have time for.

Oh, and I didn't mean to limit it to just a glass of wine.....I meant to say a bottle (or three) - a glass would just get us started :)

FedEx left my SAT stuff on my porch at 8:30 p.m. last night. I found it at 8 a.m. this morning! I am not too pleased that it sat out there freezing all night. GRR!!!
 
I finally got around to unpacking my boxes this morning. I had forgetten about a few of the items so bringing them out of the box was even more exciting. Now, where am I going to store all of this stuff?? I'm drowning in a sea of Pampered Chef - LOL. Guess I'll get some exercize and take them upstairs (I need to go fluff the bed just in case Kristin decides to pop in for a visit - are you coming?).

My hosts are gonna love my appreciation party this year :)
