I took the plunge and am officially back in business for myself!!
I have been researching opportunities for additional income, so my decision to renew my entrepreneurship with Mary Kay is actually a step to recovering part of the Miss Independent inside me.
Sounds bizarre, I know. But with lots of encouragement and friendly reminders of how I was happy and enjoyed running my own consultant business....I made the decision today to pursue this avenue again.
I am alot smarter and wiser and confident I will run a better business than I did 5 years ago. And actually, I am really excited about it! This is the first time that the idea didn't sound exhausting to me.
At this point, my website is not completely set up, but the address will be www.marykay.com/joydeboard. Just in case anyone may be interested in placing an order. OR, you can always play "makeup" with the virtual models like T and I just did online! =D

You've Got to be Kidding!
Since I have been sick and going to bed early at night...I do find myself waking up in the middle of the night. Go figure!
I can't believe some of the commercials there are at night, not to mention the infomercials...lol! Here are my top three:
3. Personals Ads commercials via phone line memberships. Testimonials include, "When I talked to Scott, I knew he was someone I could really see myself with". OMG! Trust me on this, even with online memberships and a pic posted....can you really determine if they are someone you can date?
2. Diet Pill commercials claim "unlike any other diet pill you have tried....guaranteed to work for you....a month's supply free when you order now and try our 30 day money back guarantee." Simply, order one month in the next 3 minutes and receive a second bottle free. Try it for 30 days. Can we say SCAM?
1. Specialty Product Introduction: DoggySteps. Helps your little dog climb up to high places---shows pics of steps assisting dog up to the couch and the bed. First, does someone really need "doggy steps"? And, WHY would you want them jumping up on the couch or bed? Second, even if they do, do they need to "order now in the next 8 minutes to receive an 2nd set free"? I guess that is so you can assist the dog to the couch AND the bed!!!

I had to stop by Walgreens tonight to pick up some cold & sinus medicine. With the unusually warm weather spurts we keep having...my sinuses thinks its March already. Now I have only had to buy some once this season so far...
I learned that you have to ask the Pharmacist BEHIND the counter for the "over-the-counter" medicine! Since I live in a prime crystal meth lab location, with farm area in Missouri and Illinois, they have been reduced to stocking "cards" with a logo of the medicine you are wishing to purchase. Fortunately, I can believe that to be reasonable. Makes it harder for someone to "stockpile" meds.
HOWEVER, when they asked for my drivers license, and copy all my info into a Log, I was a little concerned. How do I know what they are regulating? Do I only get to purchase cold medicine 3 times this season? Or is it 3 times in one month? I do have 3 members in my family...what if we all get sick? I wanted to ask, but then I was afraid that might raise suspicion on me....so I didn't.
I remember when we had to do that with ink cartridges at OfficeMax. Hang cards on the pegs and the cartridges were behind the counter with me. What's next, bring a picture of a cow to get milk?? Or better yet, turn in a bumper sticker from the ad campaign "Got Milk?"
Anyway, I did get my medicine this time...so I guess I still have a chance to get well! =D

Happy New Year 2006
Wow! Another year....and I am 34 now...LOL!
I remember when my parents were "certain" that Christ was going to return before I started kindergarten. Well, I am a long way from that now. Even my own children are past that now.
I had someone tell me that I had changed after I was in the hospital this summer, and I told them I was glad they saw that...because I had changed alot of priorities since facing near death. She meant it as a slam to me...but I was serious. I am very thankful for another year. Another chance to strive to become more like Christ. Another year to work on raising my children to become Christian gentlemen. As well as another year of memories with my children and friends.
Here's to 2006!
