Weekly News 6/1-6/6/06
Thursday 6/1/06- Today was a LOT of work! I am planning for the big spa party this Saturday. M keeps calling it the International Spa Party because people are coming in from the UK and France. Can't wait to see that phone bill! lol. I also had an Arbonne meeting...got some more product in...I am LOVING this stuff. It has made a visible difference in my skin. That's always nice. Nothing much else going on but work today.
Friday 6/2/06 - Today I finalized the rest of the spa party plans for tomorrow. Got paychecks out and reorganized some of our supplies. I took a break mid-day for a movie...Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It was surprisingly a wonderful movie. I highly recommend it. I thought it was going to be stupid, but it actually was a younger Ya-Ya and had some very sweet moments. (I am hormonal too, so I was crying at everything) :) Tonight I met Tonya for dinner and we had such a nice visit. We tried the new Boston's- not bad, great service! I brought dinner home for M and he ate while I finally finished the mantle. The repainted mirror looks awesome and I added our fabric and some new accents. I also put up the shelf over the new wine bar in the kitchen and the decorations we got for that. LOVE IT.
Saturday 6/3/06 - Got up and prepared supplies for the ISP (International Spa Party). We went to Arlington to start setting up at noon. M went with me since we were making a day of it all. After we helped the girls set up and gave them new supplies and literature, I started heating the neck wraps, visited with the clients, and schmoozed a bit. Then we left so the party could begin.
We went to one of our fav lil dive spots for lunch-Mariano's. It's a great Mexican restaurant but it's in a bad bad neighborhood. Luckily we made it out alive (last time we were almost carjacked...not fun) Yes, the food is THAT good. LOL.
Then we went into Southlake to do a little shopping at the Town Square...so much fun! I love all those great stores... spent too much money :) Then we went into Grapevine to D'Vine Wine for a quick afternoon tasting. Very nice and relaxing. We didn't fall in love with any of the wines, but it was a fun time. There was a party going on next to us and they invited us to join them (they'd had a lot of wine :) ) and so we did. Then, after our tasting, we walked down to the Fromagerie for some cheese tasting - of course! We didn't find anything too spectacular there, so we decided to head back to Frisco.
We changed clothes (it was so hot!) and then headed to Lowe's (our most favorite) to pick out some paint samples for the bathroom and some to choose from for the living room. But first, we went to Ikea, because we are insane. This 10 minute errand to pick up storage boxes turned into an hour and a half errand. First of all, I found some more fun stuff to buy (duh) but that only took an extra 30 mins. The hour came in to play IN THE LINE. This lady in front of us was NUTS. She rang up a $600 bill and thought that was too much so she had the girl void the sale and re-ring everything. So, the total came up the same the second time (imagine that) so she started returning little stuff (seriously $0.69 stuff and $2 stuff) So, about 30 items and $35 later, she asked for the total again. It was over $600 (because of tax of couse) and she couldn't figure that out. So again, she had the checker VOID and RE-RING EVERYTHING. I wanted to kill her. If looks could kill...i would have. The other lines were all long and we couldnt get out because our stuff was already unloaded. We considered leaving, but we couldn't justify that because we'd picked out our stuff and we thought SURELY she'd be done soon. Finally, she did get done and leave, with a grand total of $600 (AGAIN).
After this disaster errand, we went on to Lowe's, got about 10,000 paint samples, and then went to Olive Garden for dinner. (well, it was already 9:45pm so we figured we should eat something!!) Then we went home and made it a somewhat early night...we were worn out!
Sunday 6-4-06 - Since we went out yesterday, we decided the stay around the house and finish up some more projects. We worked on the normal dishes, laundry, etc, and did some more organizing and moving stuff around. It was kind of a lazy day, we watched a movie, hung out, and chilled....getting ready for the week. We ran to DSW and bought some new shoes and then ran over to Target to do our grocery shopping. Then home to make a good dinner (tacos, yum) and then to bed at a decent time.
Monday 6-5-06 - Back to working! Tons to do. I am optimizing the website and we are adding some new shopping carts. Our product lines are coming out too on a new webstore. YAY. VLo is also doing Accent on Homes' website and so I've been working on that. M and I both had a long day, so we made sammiches and had some wine for dinner. We followed that up with a custom made chocolate martini and boy, we felt a lot better! LOL. Probably not a good idea on a school night :)
Tuesday 6/6/06 - Aah..it's 6/6/06. Devil day. I don't feel too devilish today though, so I'll have to take a rain check. I've basically been finishing up projects from yesterday and working on more blogs for the biz. M has baseball practice tonight which will give me more time to work. Accent on Homes' website just needs a few more changes and it should be up and running better than ever. Ours is in the process of getting a makeover. We are supposed to be featured in this month's Home Improvement Dallas, so I am looking forward to that! Time for lunch and to get back to it...
