Went to see the best band on the Planet! TV on the Radio...oh my goodness...by far the best live show I've been to...Amazing. At the Showbox, which for me, is just the right size for a show. I will never quite understand though, why it's cool to look as if you don't enjoy the music...I felt like there was a small group of us in the front that were totally rockin' out! (thank you Calixta) but for the rest of the people...damn...too bad for you. Either you don't know much about the Artists themselves, or there's just too much of your Ego and unfortunately, you can't seem to let go! Sad, sad affair.
Recently I went to Costco...which is the largest food and home wherehouse in the Northwest...see, my husband and myself morally oppose Costco, and for that reason don't have a membership. Due to a birthday party and many attendees, I was forced into going for convience puposes...Let me just say.....THE EPITOMY of GLUTTANY...is that how it's spelled? Anyways you get the point. Entirely tooooo much food being prepared, and prepared and prepared...and the frozen section? sheesh...c'mon! I can see why a resteranteaur would purchase those amounts....but really, who in the hell needs 9 pounds of cream cheese at their house? And what about the cream puffs...uh, 90?????? No wonder the richest country in the world is also the unhealthiest and most over weight...incredible.

Today was a good day. I'm having trouble focusing and trying to get just one thing done. Both of the kids went to pre-school today and usually I'm able to get a ton finished with my Aloette business, but no....just a lot of phone and not too much that came of it...Sometimes, that is how it goes though....And just moving forward to the next day! I have a meeting on Friday which I am so looking forward to...Even better, our very good friends are coming to stay with us for Octoberfest...and it's been a full year since we were able to get together. Here is a photo for fun. Till next time.

OMG! I just returned from Atlanta where I was able to travel for my work. We spent the last 4 days there, learning, growing, laughing, crying...Aloette Cosmetics is the best opportunity to work from home...and actually make money for your family! I know I'm a bit overboard, gushing about it and all...but seriously, the changes that this company has made for my family! here is a picture of me and Christie Cohen at lunch! She is the Chairman and CEO of the company...and yes, her skin really does look like that, there are no touch ups on this photo! I love all of the girls that I work with...Thank you Leslie and Angela! While yes, I I missed my kids and husband incredibly, the experiences and knowledge that I came home with are incomparable! Is that a word? Anyhow, check it out!

Today is a beautiful day! I just returned from a very eventful (and extremely warm) walk/bike ride with my kids. We are gearing up again-after some much needed hydration-to set out on yet another adventure!
