So it has been a short while since I posted. I have been extremely busy trying to make the sales I need for the iPad this month. I am still $371 away and don't know how I am going to manage it. I had a booth yesterday and made $118 in the first 3 hours and then nobody stopped the rest of the day. With that money I bought another $160 in inventory. I have an order for the library all ready to go through. I am going to turn one of the slips in Tuesday, get re-imbursed for it and then order. The other slip can wait until the following Tuesday. Oh and the amazing upgrade...IT'S "THE NEW" iPad. How cool is that? Since I got my sales in February if I make sales for the next 3 months I will get the NEW iPad. I am super excited. This will be the first time in forever that I actually make the sales goals ever. I don't really care about recruiting because I am already fighting for the things I do get but I need the sales. I am thinking of expanding to like the Poland library and some of the other ones in Ohio...maybe I will have better luck with them.
In other news, well I don't really have any other news. I started the GAME ON challenge on Monday as well. Still going strong. It's so hard to find things to take to work that are low carb but high in calories. It has been so nice outside that most of the week I walked outside. Took the dog a couple of times. If it gets cold again then I will resort to exercise videos. I got a couple Tae-Bo videos from the library. My main goal is to lose the thighs and the hips so I can fit in my size 6's and not have to go out and buy new summer clothes...lol.
I got Rachel's old phone and I can honestly say I love it and I hate it. It's a piece of crap but I was able to put orders directly into OrderPro last night at my booth. So having a smart phone is GREAT but I can't wait till I can get a good one, which will apparently be two years when this stupid crappy Verizon contract is up. I HATE Verizon with a passion but I needed a good real phone and it couldn't wait any longer. Even got to keep my number.
Okay well I think that is all the ramblings I have for today. Later!

Oh the Challenges we face...
Okay, folks. I have an update for you again finally. A few things are falling into place for me at last. I am a month into making this challenge for Usborne, I am going to start losing weight, I am 2 months away from paying off my biggest bill and things are starting to look up again.
So first of all let's talk about this challenge I mentioned. Usborne has given us a 4 month challenge and anybody that completes the challenge gets a FREE iPad 2. I completed the goal for February. March, April and May are going to be a little bit more difficult as well this month I have one booth booked. I do have 2 hopeful booths for next month but I have nothing for May yet. I am struggling but I am determined to meet this goal. Anybody that made the February goal gets some sort of upgrade and since the iPad 3 has been announced it is a possibility that is what it will be but we haven't been told yet.
Next, the Neeley clan has started a weight loss challenge called "Game On" and I am joining up. You have to choose a diet plan, drink so much water a day, work out so long every day and some other things. I decided for my diet plan I am doing a low-carb diet and try for 1500 calories per day. I also want to try for 75 grams of protein a day as well, but I am not as concerned with the protein. The calorie and protein numbers are the amount I should have daily for maximum weight loss. I also will be getting some samples of a weight loss shake and pill in the mail so I will be trying those as well. The challenge is 6 weeks long and since I want to be back down in my size 4 and 6's for summer this is the perfect time for this to happen.
Ah, the debt! That's right folks First Financial will be paid off in May and I can't wait. After that I will pay off the J C Penney bill in June. Everything I threw at those two will then be thrown at the Dell. I should be out of debt by the end of the year. I was hoping to say by summer but that won't happen since I threw all my tax refund at obtaining inventory for Usborne. Oh well. From now on anything I get from Usborne will be saved and used to throw at these bill as well. I am hoping to have a few hundred dollars this month to pay off the J C Penney this month. That would be nice. If I can get the sales next month and in May I will be throwing a few hundred at Dell as well so maybe the end of summer is a good time period. LOL!!! Every time I talk about this situation it changes but with gas prices at $3.80 I am throwing more at gas than saving it. Not fun!
In other news, my friend Ben is coming home next month and I am super excited about that. It feels like years since I've seen him. In all reality it has been about a year and a half. And I saw him twice that year. Also, I am finally able to get a real phone. I don't really want to be stuck with said phone for 2 years, as it is Verizon, but you have to do what you have to do. Hmmm...what else do I have to tell you all about? I think that may be all for now. I will keep you updated on the challenges and the debt situation as they go on.
