Just to get my business started!!

Let's see if I can think of anything else to share about me...I live in Sun Prairie, WI (a suburb of Madison.) I've been married to my husband Ryan since June 19, 2004. We have no kids, but we have 2 Siamese cats and a lovely hedgehog (see avatar.) I enjoy reading, drawing, but most of all sleeping. I work for county government. I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I can be a bit of a pistol, but I really am a good listener and enjoy great conversation. I am already very happy with the valuable info I have learned from this site and can't wait to get to know everyone. Any questions, feel free to ask :)

Actually he was camp's hedgie, but spent time at our house - the kids loved him. Unfortunately they don't live too long. :( But they are fun pets. We have 2 dogs, a cat and 4 koi so we don't dare get another pet.
 
That's awesome! Not too many people I know have even SEEN a hedgehog :)

I know what you mean...I'm thankful we live in a condo w/ pet restrictions, or I would no-doubt be a crazy cat lady.

6. How long after you were first asked or knew of PC was it before you become a consultant?
I first heard about PC over 10 years ago, but didn't know it was a business opportunity. I attended a show about 3 1/2 years ago and asked all the "right" questions to be recruited - I would have joined then had the consultant been receptive! But I didn't get any information on joining and didn't seek it out until recently. I just had a new baby and am looking for extra income so I can stay home, and I thought PC would fit me well, so I contacted HO to join. (I didn't end up joining through the HO contact, who sent me a one line e-mail a few days after my request, but through someone I saw on another message board who took a lot of time to answer my questions.)
