I was totally not excited about my HO call, but when I saw HO's number on my caller id I about lost my breakfast! The lady was so nice and we chatted for about 10 minutes. My heart was pounding so fast that I was sure she could hear it in Chicago! My DD was watching Wonder Pets (a creepy cartoon where tiny animals save big animals by teaming up) and they were saving something. My DD was screaming in the background "help! help! help!" pretending to be the animal so the HO lady probably thinks I am nuts!

Anyway, I am official! The woman thought it was hilarious that I was most excited about my PC dollars, but I want to spend them in kit enhancement month when I can get almost twice as much for my money!!
 
Congratulations! Have a ball celebrating!!!!
 
That's funny!
Congrats,,,very cool!
 
Congrats... that is soo exciting for you!!
 
Congratulations!!! My kids LOVE Wonder Pets also!
 
Congratulations, Gillian! You've made me really excited to "get the call," which I hope will be within the next 30 days (or sooner!). You've worked really hard for this, so enjoy the feeling that goes with accomplishment!

It is good to know I am not the only one that has to watch Wonder Pets everyday!

My director told me to come to the cluster meeting early this month so she could show me how to use the director reports, etc. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I will know all about it from my CS friends weeks before the meeting!!
 
Congrats Gillian !
 
Congratulations Gillian!!! I wish you much continue success!! I am so glad you got "the call."

No Thanks for putting that darn Wonder Pets song in my brain though!!! :D My son like them too. They are cute and it is a good show but in a way they are kind of creepy to me too.:eek:

The puppy episode is my 3 year old's favorite too because they let the puppy outside to go pee pee, and her new "job" is to let our dog out. Hey- if she lets the dog out so I don't have to and feels like a wonder pet doing it who am I to stop her??
 
Way to Go, Gillian!!!!
 
Congratulations! It's been so much fun watching and "listening" to your progress. You are an inspiration!
 
Congratulations Gillian!!! That is so exciting for you! For my friend's daughter's birthday she made 4 cakes... one for each wonderpet... you are definitely not the only person out there that has to listen to that theme song everyday! :)
 
Woohoo!
congrats!!
Hopefully, you'll get to celebrate tonight
 
Congrats Gillian~!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!

I hope to get the call within 45 days!! We'll see!!!:D
 
By the way, my kids watch the wonder pets as well and when I started reading your post, I started singing "What's going to work? TEAMWORK!!!":D

My son will be 2 in May and he walks around saying "Teamwork!". He doesn't talk a whole bunch so people think it is kinda weird that he says that!

Congratulations! I don't do many postings....but I monitor this site a lot. You always provide such great ideas...and have such a fun sense of humor!

Yay!! Whoo hoo and congrats on being official!!!
 
Way to go Gillian! Directorship is such a rewarding experience and I feel so blessed to have it be a part of my life. Though it can be a stuggle at times to balance your own business and the business's of others, the rewards far outweigh the frustrating times. I wish you lots of success as you continue to grow your team!
