What?! You Don't Need ANY Cooking Gear? Really?

Wow, the response to my Pampered Chef Party has been overwhelming (I know it's tricky to write sarcasm, just know, that last bit, it was sarcastic). QUICK y'all, the party ends November 3rd, don't wait until the last minute, buy stuff now. Maybe I should buy something to get it started, but you see, if YOU guys buy enough stuff them I get my stuff for FREE and I all REALLY want is 4 foamy soap dispensers. Though a new set of knives would be nice. And that ice cream scoop totally matches my patience levels when it comes to ice cream. Come on, go check it out - click the link on the right.

I gave my 2 weeks notice at my sign putting up job. My supervisor was sad and put me on for an extra shift on Friday, which is Halloween. I think my husband and I have been able to get out financial feet back under us - refinancing to a better, lower, better loan helped a bit. However, I won't be getting my employee discount after I quit. :(

November is national write a book month (or something like that) so I think I'll give that a go. There's a lady I know who taught the Sunbeams (3-4 yr olds) for like 30 years. She's in a different ward now and I'm teaching that age group. I've been meaning to ask her for advice and guidance and then I thought how she must have a ton of information that would not just apply to teaching Sunbeams, but (as most things) be universally applicable with cute anecdotes and such. The publishing company Deseret Book might take it. So I popped over to her house tonight to see if I could set an official appointment to interview her. She seemed very receptive ... so I'll see how it goes. If the jerky local LDS talk Radio guy can write a freaking "Mormon" book in a weekend, by Jango, I would hope I could produce something this month. I have time before I talk to her to get my questions and topics organized, then I just need her to fill in the stories and advice. It'll be like a research paper - it'll be a how to book but with heart.The world can always use another book about how much better life would be if we were more like little children (but not the eating boogers part).

It's 2am and I am a sleepy sleepy girl ... one who has to get up and take her kid to school in 4 hours - 4 if I don't take a shower ... 2 little fast weeks and there will only be late nights as deemed necessary by our family. That'll be nice. It was good to go out and stretch my employment muscles a bit. And I can go back if I want to, but I would really like to try my hand at professional writing. I can try. I just need to FINISH a project for once in my life.

Buy Pampered Chef. Cooking season is UPON us!
You deserve Pampered Chef.

And THAT is why I love you so much :) I really wish I did need cooking gear, but alas, my cupboards (or rather my boxes) runneth o'er.

And YES!!! You most definately should write a book...today...after your shower! Do it now :)

I would love new cooking gear; unfortunately I am financially disabled right now due to the crappy economy keeping my condo from selling (aarrrgh!) Trust me, I looked and the beer bread was calling my name, but my boyfriend would eat the entire loaf in one fell swoop and that is an awfully expensive "snack". I will let my friends know in case they would like to buy anything though!
