...so I could stay home and rest. I have a terrible cold and wanted to be ready for my show today where I would be making money. At BRU I wouldn't be making any money, just finding people to help me make money later. :)

And then what happens at 8:30 this morning??? My phone rings and it's today's host cancelling!!!! She had EIGHT people cancel on her last night and a handful of others never return her call. She is pissed and is going to gather orders anyway.

But I could have gone to BRU!!! *whine*
 
awww..... {{{hugs}}}
Rebook the host for next month and keep on keeping on...

Yes, I hope to rebook her. She was just so forlorn when I talked to her that I didn't even want to bring it up.

I guess my family is having Chicken Club Ring for dinner tonight! :) I buy the ingredients for my shows so I have everything I need!
 
That's one benefit to having a cancellation. ;)
 
Think of all the people you didn't get to infect.(Small consolation - but it's all I've got for the last few days, myself.)
 
I'm sorry Deb that you're feeling sick! I'm sick as well but I didnt' feel sick at my show Saturday night until I finished my demo. I felt so faint and now I'm wishing that I didnt' go. SHe was supposed to have 10-12 there and 6 showed up. I left with $265 in sales but a possible recruit. SO that's good!!!

How was the ring?;) :p
 
Hey, KG, thinking of all the people I didn't infect wouldn't make me happy! I'm a firm believer in Misery Loves Company!

We enjoyed the ring. I had never made it at home before, so DH was pleasantly surprised.

I slept in yesterday, so I'm feeling better. Still blowing lots of green snots. :)

Good luck on the recruit lead, Kristi!!!!
 
Thanks Deb! I hope we both feel better REAL SOON! My stomach is extremely queasy!:eek:
 
You know, occasionally I get the impression that we might be a little too familiar here.

Glad you're feeling better, Deb.
