So this has been my best month ever, which is a shock since last month was my worst ever...anyway, I realized today that I was $230 from $5000 for the month. No biggie right? I've got a catalog show to close tonight...fast forward tonight...host won't answer her phone...call again...no answer...finally around 7:30 I get an email while I'm giving DD a bath and DH hollers at me that I got an email from my host...she wants to wait until Saturday!! Grrrr....so after an hour of sulking and thinking its not going to happen I call up my "work husband" who has been saying that he wants the 12 inch skillet and lid "only when someone really needs help w/ a party." Well if this isn't one of those situations....so he at first kinda gasped at the amount I wanted him to spend but after offering him free shipping and 15% off anything else he wanted PLUS $15 free (cuz duh he's a host now!) he agreed! I just closed and am now sitting pretty at $5000.23!! YAY!! I am soooo happy to finally be over the $4000 mark!! I hope my director has the $5000 ribbon left in her stash cuz this is one month that I REALLY want the ribbon for my office! haha
