Its a beautiful Morning!

What a busy day I have planned for myself!
Today is a non-paid work day, which is called a "marketing day". I don't get my hourly rate, or even paid for the day, but its just not a day off. Instead, I use this day to meet with clients and market myself. Every Tuesday is my marketing day. I do not do any clerical work for the office or any part of my daily job duties today, which is nice. I can come and go as I please, and I like that even more.
Today, I am meeting a new client and showing them two homes (i'm a realtor). I also am asking my boss to come with me, because the client is new, and I am unsure about him right now.
On a slightly related but not so much note, I am picking up pepper spray today. I don't know why I don't already have it, but I am not going on any more showings without it.
I will also check up on some files of my own (I have 3 pendings right now!!) and meet my mom and sisters at the fair for lunch! We are going to see my two (count em, 2) second place ribbons for my entries of Banana nut Bread and pie. Not bad, for my first time, huh?

Then, my day rounds out with me dropping off some of my Avon books at local grocery stores and fast food places. My man is picking me up later this afternoon to take me to see the new Harry Potter movie, which we have been looking forward to seeing for a long time!

That's my day...and I can't wait to start it!! I can't wait for my cotton candy and lemonade!!
I love going to the fair to eat!!

don't pick on me!

What is wrong with people in this world? I am so sick of people mocking others for being themselves!
I think we should appreciate each other -- I can't stand those punk kids mocking each other or their parents or strangers for no reason at all.
I was walking in a store when a Mom was leaving. She had her daughter and another girl (maybe another daughter) with her. The mom dropped her keys, and the daughter made some rude comment and then looked at me for giving her a look.
No. 1: How rude. One day you will miss your mom. One day, you will be mad at yourself for treating your mom like that in public.
No. 2: Get used to going to the store with your mom, because no one else will tolerate your behavior, and you won't have many friends.
No. 3: The more you act like that, the unhappier and sadder you will become.

What's wrong with this world? In the days where some people don't answer your call, but will only text or twitter or facebook you. I want a normal conversation, complete with pauses, questions, laughs (yes, actually laughs, not the standard lmao or lol), and sighs.

Cleaning House

I wouldn't say I was the messiest person in the world, nor am I the cleanest. But, my avon has taken over the living room, and now I must clean.

I would post a picture, but its too embarrasing.

The only good thing is it is too hot outside to go and do stuff. Its hot, humid, sticky, and a heat index of 104. So, instead of going through my avon boxes upon boxes, I am here on blogger, playing with my shiny new blog.

My boyfriend is making dinner tonight. This morning, we went to the local farmer's market and got some beautiful eggplants, cremeni mushrooms, poblano peppers and a loaf of artisian bread. He is making steak tips with mushrooms, and we are going to have stuffed peppers and tacos later this week. I think the eggplant would go great with pasta---that can be another day!!
I love the farmer's market, and I love forcing myself to use up all the good eats I bought there. I know it sounds funny, but I could by all that stuff at the grocery store, pay about the same, and then put it in my fridge and let it mold. When I go to the farmers market, I feel like I am helping local people, the produce is fresh and local, and I feel good. That sounds funny...I feel good. I don't know why I feel good or why that sounds funny, it just does.

On another note, I have 8 large Avon Boxes I have for when I have my first home party. Anyone local want to throw an Avon party?? Its just like a tupperware party, but you feel more at ease to gossip and chat like you would if you got your hair done. I don't give makeovers or manicures, but we do try a lot of great products, and I have tons of samples to give everyone. I also plan on having a "try it" table with q-tips, kleenx, and cotton balls for people to try lipsticks, glosses, foundations, skin creams, and body sprays and colognes. Doesn't that sound fun?? Plus, the hostess gets free avon!!

Really Cool mark makeup cases!

My snap to it Mark brand Mezzo size case.


The pretty picture on the Avon website.

I love this item! For only $8, you can get the medium sized (Mezzo) snap to it case. This is a reusable makeup case that holds 2 blushes, 4 eyeshadows, or 1 blush and 2 shadows. I really like it! The combinations are almost limitless. Yes, you do have to purchase the makeup separately, but I think its highly worth it. I will also say, the eyeshadows are huge! At $4.50 per eyeshadow, these should last a long time! They are large, and the powder is super fine, which means it glides on easy and lasts. I think this is the best eyeshadow Avon offers.
You can find the shadows here: mark i-mark eyeshadow.
You can hunt for the perfect blush here: mark good glowing blush.

Happy Monday!

Its been a busy weekend!
Some work, some fun, and some rest!
Well, I've entered some items at my county fair, and I am so nervous, because they are due on Wednesday.
I entered banana bread, key lime pie, and my blueberry muffins. I spent Saturday getting all the ingredients, and now I am nervous!!! I will be up late on Tuesday making the pie (it needs time to set) and early Wednesday morning to bake the bread and muffins. Then, after work, I will head to the fairgrounds, items in hand, ready to be judged.
Its my first time entering into the fair's food contest. I do want to get one blue ribbon----that would make my summer!!
I hope everyone has a great week, I will post pics of my baked goods as soon as they are finished. I find out on Thursday if I got placed.
