I'm a Horrible Consultant!

I have to say, when I started selling Pampered Chef products, I thought I'd be a baking/cooking machine! I had visions of elaborate meals and tons of cookies, pies and cakes being served to my hubby for dinner. Wow, I was way off base! Unless I'm at a cooking show, I rarely use my products, aside from spatulas, spreaders and stuff like that. I've used my torte pans and accent decorator once! I'm ashamed to admit it. I still have those visions, but for now they're just visions. It's so hard to do all that when Kevin and I are on completely different schedules! Between his evening shift and my day shift, grad class and PC Shows, we hardly see one another. Grocery shopping is a pain in the rear because when he gets home, it's too late to make a big dinner and while I could just reheat the leftovers, he wouldn't eat them. So, usually my buggy is stockpiled with frozen pizzas, corn dogs, hot pockets and Hungry Man dinners. The weekends are usually the only time I can make dinner for both of us, but that's usually when we have plans with friends and making dinner is out of question.

This weekend at one of my shows, a girl made Chicken Ranch Tacos and they looked so good! I plan on making them this weekend, I don't care what's going on. I told Kevin that we need to make it a habit to have dinner together at least once on the weekends. Where do you guys go for your recipes? Pampered Chef has some really good ones, but I'd like to check out some more sources, as well!

Hope you're all having a fabulous Tuesday! It's so chilly here and I love it!

Finally!

For quite some time now I've been trying to think of ways to bring in an extra income. A couple of ladies I work with sell Premier Jewelry and I thought about that. That's too much to start up, and while I've come to love jewelry, I'm not a jewelry person. I thought about Mary Kay or Avon, but I'm not a big make-up person either. I thought about getting a part-time job in the evenings, but I knew once school starts in the Fall, I'd have a hard time with it.

Well, yesterday I was talking to the girls here at work and we were talking about The Pampered Chef. I love their products. You guys know me and my longing to be a great cook with a big kitchen. If not, get up to date here. Anyway, Melissa suggested I look into selling P.C. products. It isn't much to start up and you get all kinds of neat things in your start-up kit! I got really excited about it and I hadn't even talked to a consultant yet! But, one did call me last night and we're meeting this evening to discuss everything.

I really hope this works out. I'm tired of being broke with no end in sight. I don't mind having to work another job, I just can't think of anything I'd like to do. I know, beggars can't be choosers. At least this is something I'll enjoy! Kevin's worried that I'll be too tired to do the parties and stuff, but, believe it or not, back in the day I loved getting out and running around. I liked meeting new people! Hopefully, this will help me get back to my old self! Instead of the current 80 year old woman that has taken up residence in my body!

I'm looking forward to meeting Teresa today! I'll update tomorrow to let you guys know how it went. And then, you can start booking your parties with me. ;)

Hope you ladies are having a great day!

My Bucket List #5

First off, thank you so much to everyone who commented on my last post. Those comments really did make me feel better!

Second, today's Bucket List really isn't a destination, but just something that I will have someday. I love to cook and bake. Now whether or not it turns out right or not is another story! Our little kitchen here doesn't really allow me to make anything special, but someday I dream of having a big kitchen. One that I will have room to make anything I want. I wouldn't even mind cleaning up the mess! haha! I also want a KitchenAid Stand Up Mixer. Could you imagine all the goodies I could make with that?? Yum!
