I think I have over extended myself. Its a tough realization when i wake up from a dream more tired than when I went to sleep. Last night, I had a dream I was shoveling gravel at my parents home, and when I awoke, I was sore, tired, and my back hurt! Very weird, and a sign I need to r e l a x .
So, this weekend I ave plans to organize. I have a lot going on. I am a Realtor, secretary, crafter, baker, Avon Rep, and writer. Its tough, but there has to be a way to revamp this site to reflect it all.
Yes, I have joined the likes of Twitter-- follow me on twitter @lisaleeworks.
I am also giving away MYSTERY BOXES of beauty products on ebay.com. Search for mystery box of beauty and place a bid! Yes, you can probably guess the brand, but can you guess the products. Starting bid is $10 for a medium flat rate shipping box from the post office filled with over $100 worth of items.

All Signs Point to VEGAS
Every year, AB takes me to Las Vegas for my birthday. Our trip is here, and I can't wait! I am frantically trying to pack, clean, finish work, and finish some Etsy projects all in like 24 hours. AB is so excited, too-- which makes me happy. He's been practicing his blackjack (oh yeah, I need to do that!) and picking out restaurants for us to eat at. I'm happy as long as I get to go to the Paris buffet for breakfast one morning and make it out to Bill's for a 4 am steak and eggs breakfast.
What's your favorite must do in Vegas? (Ah yes, and I need batteries for my camera, too)
Last month, when I went there with the sisters for the bachelorette party, I played and fell in love with Sex & the City slot machines! To play, it costs $2/pull, but its worth it when its hot. I had so much fun, I got the Miranda progressive (like $35!) twice. I can't wait to go and play the S&TC game again! I also love Keno, and I will be getting a few games set up as soon as we get there. I like to play at least 20 games off the bat, so the next morning I can check to see if I've won anything.
Alright, back to the grind. I will take and post lots of pictures when I get back!!

Jillian Michaels kicks my butt!!
I woke up this morning and did my 30 day Shred workout by Jillian Michaels. Its roughly 30 minutes and kicks my butt. I am so sweaty afterwards!! I am awake the rest of the day, though, when I do the workout.
AB is making a seafood dish for dinner tonight. Last night, I had salad for dinner and 4 cinnamon graham crackers for a snack later. Not the healthiest.
Getting in shape isn't easy. I love to eat, and its a lot of work and pretty hard to stop a habit like eating for fun. But, I have determined the best way to curb my eating habits is to keep myself busy all weekend long!
I have to make 5 wristlet purses for the first vegas trip of the season for my sisters me and my mom. I also started a new etsy shop, and I need to make a few items for that. My Avon order comes in today, so I will be busy in a few hours sorting and invoicing all my deliveries to make this weekend. Lastly-- K and I need to find some great red shoes to wear with our bridesmaids dresses for Ts wedding. Plus, I like sleep-- lots of sleep if I can.
What are you doing this weekend? Do you have any good tips to share to help me eat healthier and less often??

SOLD!
This morning, I came to work ready to face the day. I usually check my emails before I leave for work, but each morning I do, I am upset before the day starts. I hope for a sale in my etsy shop, an online order in my avon online store, an email with a new order, or some fun note from a sibling or parent. Usually-- its more like this: notes of things to do from bossman, bills now available for review and payment, spam, spam, sales at sears and jcpenneys (when I have no fun money to spend), and invites for broker open houses on days I am already working in the office.
I said today, "Don't get mad before the day begins. I'll check my mail when I get to work." My main problem is that my work emails get forwarded to my personal email address....so I can check them when ever...where ever.
Guess what! My all pinks beaded hair barrette sold this morning on Etsy. I had a sale on my Avon online store. Its a wonderful day. I'm battling taxes and I am working for bossman, but I am happy!!
look at the item I sold: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=25870075
Tonight, I get to see AB. He worked a super long day yesterday, so we didn't get a chance to see each other. I know he will be happy about my sales, both on Avon and Etsy. Right now, I need to get working on a bpo for bossman and then do some more tax prep for myself. I am going to keep a nice excel sheet this year for next year. Going through bill by bill and receipt by receipt is awful!! Its sooo time consuming and not worth it. I'm scared I will have to break down and get an accountant to help me. I've never done taxes for Avon before...the other schedule Cs I have down pat, but this one will be a bit different, because there is inventory, give aways, etc.

Snow Snow and More Snow
Our totals were about 8 inches of snow here in Indiana. I know many more of you are dealing with more....and some of you less...but 8 inches can be a lot if you don't like driving or commuting in this weather!! I really want a frozen pizza for dinner but don't want to go out and get it.
Please say a prayer for my sis, Kiki. She is under the weather. Thank goodness she has the day off work tomorrow, but I worry so much about her---she works in a grocery store (and does she have the stories to boot!!) and deals with mass amounts of public---can you say, "Germs?"
So, I hope she feels better soon, she won't have another day off until Tuesday.
Its a full craft night here in lisas home. A very messy, unorganized craft night.
I have a showing first thing in the morning, and AB will be previewing the Chicago Auto Show (yes, he is privledged and gets to go before anyone else) tomorrow, so I will have two great craft days in a row. Yes, I need to go to work, too, but that's only 8 hours of my day.
I need to organize (my thoughts included).

Spring line in the works
lisaleeworks...in the works...
I have been working on my spring line of accessories for my etsy shop (www.lisaleeworks.etsy.com)
I want to offer crocheted bags and knitted totes this spring. I have started on my first crocheted bag this week. I haven't yet figured if it will be a small wristlet or a tiny tote, but its a light aqua blue and made of 100% cotton.
I also want to try my hand at a few tshirts, but I am still working on the artwork for those.
I am thininking of a few mantras that would be great on tshirts--which is hard!!

Its like a pressure cooker
I submitted my blog to the frogpond yesterday on BzzAgent.com. If you haven't been there before, its a fun site. You sign up (its free) and complete a few surveys.
Companies basically send free or low cost items to bzz agents to "buzz" or talk up. I have been a bzz agent for a couple years, and I like it. About 3-4 times a year, I am asked to participate in a campaign. One of my favorite campaigns was for Florida's Natural Orange Juice. Bzz sent me a bunch of $1.00 off coupons to pass out to my friends and free orange juice coupons for me to try and see if I like. I commit to promising to log in to bzzagent.com everytime I talk about the product and kinda log in and write what happened, did I pass out a coupon, etc. That's it. I only buy Florida's Natural orange juice now, because I love it, the oranges and fruits come from Florida, and it supports US farmers.
Well, you can submit websites, products, tv shows, anything to Bzzagent.com. I submitted my blog...what you are reading, yesterday. This morning, there were a few reviews about my blog that were less than exciting. I found out I am boring.
So, my goal, if you stick with me, is to be less boring.
I promise.
I will rant about the person that had the nerve to say she didn't have time to read someone's personal blog about nothing. Yeah? Well, how do you have time to just read random sites on bzzagent.com?? No one has a gun to your head, dumbass!!! If you don't have time, don't go to the frogpond---you don't have to! You don't have to go to the frogpond, its completely optional. These are the type of people I can't stand. They are sooo important, and sooo busy, but they have the time to stop and tell you they don't have time for something or that you are less of a person than them.
I'm a nice person who gives away tons of free Avon. Did you know that you horrible person that spent all of 20 seconds on my site?? (yes, I have a stat tracker, and I am somewhat a smart person who can figure out that only one person from Washington viewed my blog and your profile says you are from Washington). Is 20 seconds long enough for a first impression from someone who really doesn't like people who's lives are okay??
Okay, I feel better now.
Don't forget: This month's giveaway is all about Mark. One lucky winner will receive a gift bag full of assorted Mark products and samples, valued over $30. Winner will be announced feb. 1.
To enter, just make a purchase on my online avon store (free shipping code: REPFLYER) during the month of January. One winner per month, limit one entry per person.

Bad Weather=perfect opportunity to clean!
I woke up this morning with all intentions to go shopping super early. Penneys was opening at 6 am (gasp!) and walmart never closes, so I planned on waking up around 6 and getting out the door around 6:30.
Still dark, the sky glistened with little bits of glitter...big monster snow flakes, to be exact! That delayed me until around 7:30--but I did it-- got to JCPenney's and Walmart, got some gas, and went to the grocery store (and even dropped off Avon Catalogs at Jewel and Bronkos) and made it home by 10:30 am.
So, I spent this morning making cookies, doing dishes and making some cabbage soup. Now, I am ready for a nap but its only 2 pm. I figure I will head to AB's house around 6:30/7 for pizza and a movie (it is date night). But, from now until then, this is the perfect opportunity to do some well needed cleaning. My home looks like Avon, the yarn fairy, and santa claus threw up all over it!
I am excited to announce that I have a handful of goodies to put on Etsy monday morning. I made a basic beret in sunshine, some dishcloths, the hair scrunchies I still haven't put up there, a large potholder/trivet in sage green, and maybe one more hat if I have time.
