Sarah has a JOB

Sarah got a NEW job today. Before this she had the job of CSO--- Chief Security OFFICER.

And she was the BWO ---

Bird Watching Officer!!

She was also at the same time the BTO or the

Bed TESTING officer!!

She is now the PLO or paper licking officer at our house.

Every week Jerry has to get an allergy shot. So he stops by the Mickie D's and picks up 2 eggamuffins. One for me and one for him.

That has not gone well with Sarah. She thinks---no she knows that SHE should have one too.

So today I made her the PLO of our home.

Do you see---can you see---any cheese on that scrap of paper? Neither could I, so that's why she is

the PLO.

Because she did such a wonderful job. Fulfilled all the duties of a PLO and kept the evidence so we could see what she accomplished!!

See, it's the real deal paper.

Of course, she got a little shy when I had to take her picture to put on the wall with all the OOO positions.  CFO, CEO, PLO they are all the same thing.

She hid her head!!

And again she hid her head.  Shied away from the lime light.  Just like an OOO person.

But finally I got a good shot.

She even posed for it.

Sarah says not AGAIN

This morning Jerry and I went to Noble to watch Donna do a new consultant orientation with my new consultant!! YEAH!!!

Anyway, she is so cute. This beautiful woman has 3 kids. OMG! how does she find time to smile. But she is a joy to be around and to work with.

And this is her beautiful 14 month old. Now I know that babies have a sense about people because when we got there she was asleep in the recliner. With a big teddy bear to keep her warm and from rolling out of the recliner. What a good idea about the bear.
I digress.  Well, Donna was busy doing her orientation and the baby woke up. The next thing I knew Jerry was holding her and bouncing her up and down. He loves kids and, as I do, can't wait until we have great grandkids and not just great grandDOGS.  If you can't figure it out, that's just a HINT!!

 She never even made a peep when Jerry picked her up, or when I did or when Donna did. So that just proves to me what THEY said for years. Babies and dogs know a good (or bad) person.


And then we got home, around 2 pm. This is what we got from Sarah.

She was NOT a happy camper. We had to leave her last Tuesday night to go to OKC for the Red Jacket training. We had to leave her to go to Church on Sunday. We had to leave her this morning to go to orientation.

So THIS is the look that we got when we got home. I think we need to get her a baby sitter!!

It's a Beautiful Day

Today is beautiful. The sun is shining. The air is cool and-------

Jerry's getting a haircut.

His hair curls into his ears. I don't mean just kinda goes over the ears. It seems to take up refuge inside his ears.

And this happens overnight!!!

Last week --- nada.

This week. Lots if hair in the ear. Enough that it looked like he had had hair transplants into his ears!!!

It sounds gross, but it feels like something is crawling in his ears.

You know the feeling and don't say you don't.

Once I looked in his ears and by the time I got all the hair plucked from his ears the piles oh hairs looked like a squirrels nest.

Of course with a tweezers sometimes I pulled skin along with the hair

YIKES!!!!

Hurt !!! HURT !!!!

So today is a beautiful day.

He just got back from the barber.  No more hair in his ears. YEAH!!!

This is Charlie -- our GrandDog. Lynn's Son and his girlfriend are the parents of Charlie. Isn't he cute and he's smiling for the camera.

Dave hasn't had time to brush his hair yet. In fact he just got up and helped me get a picture of Sarah.

And this of course, is Sarah.  She looks really awful with her hair like that. I am gonna brush her , AGAIN, and get the tangles out and then make her look georgeous.!!!

No Winner YET

I think you all need a hint so here it is.

Well not yet, I just want to say that it is RAINING in our part of Oklahoma today.

YEAH!!! Woo Hoo. Hallelujah!!!

It's cooler with clouds.

Isn't that the way the weather PERSON says it.

Actually, we do have women meterologists on our tv stations.

I don't know if I spelt that meteor think right or not so I will just call them weather people.

That's right I said I would give a hint to the question from yesterday.

Here it is --- the initials for the 2 companies in the US that stress customer service above anything else.

Ready???

Are you sure??

I just did that because I can now that I'm grown. Couldn't help myself. My older brother did that to me all the time we were in school.

So the initials are mk an swa.

You get a prize if you let me know what they stand for.

And when I did the spell check I DID misspell the meterot thing word.

C'est la vie!!!

Question in Previous Blog

What are the two companies in the US who stress customer service over anything else??

Do you know???

You get a prize if you answer correctly!!!

RED Jacket Night

Last night we went up to OKC to the Waterford Hotel for a Red Jacket and Director only training.

First of all, at Mary Kay events we ALWAYS start on time. We were 15 minutes late last night because we needed half of the other room just to get all the women. I noticed that most of the directors came in right at 6.30.

No chairs.

NONE !!!

They were out of luck. No not really that's when Kia (the guy who works at the hotel) came in and opened the other room. Took him about 10 minutes to get the doors opened and the chairs set up.

Did that stop Stacy James????

NOT!!!!

She  just started her meeting and kept right on going.

Even Jerry liked her. His comment, "She's good!"

There were 2 brave men there last night. Jerry and another husband. They were recognized by Stacy. They both looked to be a little shy about all the women applauding them. I know I was proud to have Jerry with me. But then he goes to all the functions with me. Except Seminar.

Seminar for both of us next summer when I get recognition on stage as a new Director with Mary Kay Cosmetics.

If you don't know yet, when women get together they talk. And talk. AND TALK!!

I think that's just in our gene's . Oh well. Do you see that folding wall? That's what had to be opened when all the rest of the ladies got there. The room behind the wall was twice the size of where we were and it was half full when all the chairs were put down. Wonderful to see that many women ready to do something with their business.

There is my wonderful Jerry!!! He really doesn't like crowds, but he comes with me and the support is what I need.

A sea of RED !!!!  I will be so beside myself when Christi is there, and Terri is there, and Hannah is there, and Lynn is there, and 2 more are there with me. And in their own RED jackets.

And this is Stacy James. She does NOT have a growth on her shoulder. That the forehead of someone else.

She is so much fun and so into who we are and not what she wants us to be like. But then that's what I want my team to be. Themselves and in their Director suits with me.

There are two companies in this country that put customer service first. Know what they are?

A prize to whoever can name both.

Why did we quit-----?

Saturday we went to the drag races in Ardmore. I must say that it was hot but windy which kept us from getting too overwhelmed.

I also have to tell you about the bleachers. COVERED!!! Nice and sturdy. The grounds were really clean which led me to believe that the concession was clean too.

 There was only one or two that made my whole body shake. That is the most awesome feeling!!

All that energy being transferred from the engine to the ground to the bleachers and then to everyone there.

That one went faster than I could go from the picture above to the finish line.!! FAST!!

It made the 1/8 in .0489 of a minute. Too fast.
I could make it to OKC in about 30 minutes like that.
Of course, the fuel would make the trip to shop VERY expensive!!

And then there is the smoke. Do they HAVE to burn out like that????

This is a pretty car. and see that gold helmet, too pretty for words. Of course the men driving the cars last Saturday probably wouldn't like for me to say that their cars were pretty.

(But they were)

So back to the title......

The last time WE -- Jerry, me, Lynn and Dave had been to the races was back 40 years ago. So why DID we quit.

Too busy---
Not enough time---
Stressed---

Whatever the crutch is, we are going to get over it and keep on going!!!

Here we come and there they go.
