I'm about to be a new Director!!!!!
All 5 of my girls are now qualified with the last show needed going in at 9:30pm on Friday night....talk about down to the wire! We were pushing it - she was having internet problems and I was about to loose my mind!
Then all weekend, the Performance Tracker was down....but I just looked and all stats are finally there!
Now if they would just call!!!
 
Congrats, Cindy!! I can't wait for my call....I have 4 recruits right now, working on it!
 
Yeah!! congrats Cindy--I kept looking to see if you made it too!! We'll both be walking:)

My last girl sent hers in on Thursday and I got my call on Friday around lunchtime! By the way, the number comes up as an 800 number in case you monitor your calls! The number ends in 33.

We'll need to meet at conference! I'll be the exhausted one! We are getting back from New York on sunday night around 9pm then need to leave for chicago around 5am to get there on time. Wee fun :0

Congrats again!!!

We will have to figure out a way to meet up at conference! This is my first conference and I am so excited - I'll feel better tho when I get that call! I thought sure it would be today, but I did hear that they had computer problems all weekend and looks like things are just getting back up today. My cell phone has not left my side! ;)

I GOT THE CALL! We were sitting at Applebees at supper! The lady who called was so nice - I told her that I could not speak very loud because we were at supper - LOL - and she said she bet that I wished I could Hoot and Holler and I said "but of course"!
I am sooooo excited. A little nervous too about the added responsibility but then I always stop and tell myself how much I enjoy helping out all the newbies and I know I will be fine - plus I belong to an awesome cluster with great support!
Can't wait to hear y'all cheering for me - and for all the other Cheffers on here! Do we have a way yet of identifying ourselves?
Stephanie - saving that bottle for something really special! Tomorrow on the 4th is perfect! We are having friends over and I have lots to celebrate!!!!!
I'm off to change my profile!!!!!!........WooHoo!!!!!!!!
