Indian Summer

Okay, so you have my permission to slap me.

Or however you say that.

I'm trying okay? Sometimes I forget...maybe I should set a reminder on my phone? I don't know...

Anyway, I thought now might be a good time to give you a rundown about life these days.

First of all, I just want to shout from the rooftops that: 

I AM A DISTRICT MANAGER IN ARBONNE INTERNATIONAL!!!!

Loud enough for you? Good. I made it! I finally made it. Here's to a bright future for my team, my upline, and everyone else I meet along the way! I'm going to be an Area Manager by the end of the year, and be smelling the leather of the white Mercedes I'll be getting next year!

There, I've said it. Now all of you know, and I will have to meet that goal or disappoint myself and all of you. That being said (shameless plug), if you'd like to learn more about Arbonne, hop on over to sweetfreedom.myarbonne.com and fill out the form at the bottom of the page, give me a call, or email me. I'd love to share my experience!

Also, I just received all of my holiday line and have set it up in my dining room for anyone who chooses to come take a look, so let me know if that's something you'd be open to doing!

Holiday Display, Phase II

Moving on, it's been quite warm here for September--in the 90s almost every day, in fact. Yeah, I know, not as warm as it has been the past few years, but wow...it's hot. I can't wait for the crisp, cool autumn air. I've already put out a fall wreath, I'm so excited for the changing weather.

Of course, it being September, Kevin and I took a trip up to the State Fair last weekend with my parents. I won 5th place with that little blue end table I refinished and antiqued. Not bad, considering it's my first year entering in that category. My mom entered her Bargellow into the Fair this year, as well, and won 4th! I'm so proud of her. I can't wait to see what else she'll win if she keeps entering every year.

So my parents visited last weekend, and Kevin's parents are coming in on their way to Branson from California this weekend. It's certainly a full month! I have something every weekend, but I'm not complaining! It beats being bored. Speaking of not being bored, Kevin is finally finishing the rock path in the front yard that we started in the spring. It should be finished by tomorrow, actually. I'll be sure to take a picture if you'll promise to ignore the mess the front flowerbed is with the bermuda grass we can't seem to kill or prevent. I spent 5 hours weeding this tiny little corner of the flowerbed on Sunday only to lose daylight and barely make a dent!

Bermuda grass, bermuda grass, you are such a pain in my ass.

I think that's it...I'll probably realize later that I forgot something, but I go on crew rest in a few minutes, so I kind of need to wrap this up anyway. Until next time!
