Happy Monday Link-up, Weekend trip, and Awesome Arbonne

Happy Monday Yall! 

I am linking up to Miso Glamorous' Beauty Blog: "Happy Monday Blog Hop"
Go meet new friends!

 
My one Monday class has been cancelled for the day. Sometimes this bothers me, and sometimes it does not. Today, it does not. I have a big midterm tomorrow in English Lit. and it will give me a little longer to get some quality studying in.
 
On Saturday, my little family and Mr. Dye's close friend and daughter came with us to Independence, TX (close to Brenham and Blue Bell country) for pictures with Bluebonnets. We had an awesome time. I have a new favorite picture of myself where I am swinging on a tire swing. I definitely got some good photos of the girls. They play so well together; couldn't be a prouder mama!

I have a small business with Arbonne International as an Independent Consultant. I just absolutely love my life as an Arbonne Consultant. If you want to take a look at the online catalog, look here. I constantly have specials going on for my current clients. Right now, I want to give you a FREE trial of client benefits. What does this mean?

You get MY consultant discount! [35% off]

If you see any product you like, you'll get it at 35% off + tax and I'LL PAY THE SHIPPING!

This special is running through the end of March. I am placing my last order at 9pm Thursday March 31.


  • The products are pure, safe and beneficial to your body!
  • I like that I can build the business along side my primary job.
  • The products are something that I stand behind 110%. I have tried almost all of them and I haven't found anything that I don't like.
  • The business is duplicable and consumable.
    • Duplicable- the company has a proven success strategy! I don't have to come up with any marketing or strategies on my own! Arbonne has the formula to success and as long as I follow it, I succeed at my goals
    • Consumable- people use the products and eventualy run out. They love the products so much, they keep coming back for more!
      • Have you ever heard of Cut Co. Knives? They are high quality knives that have a lifetime guarantee. As a sales rep for this company, you constantly have to go on "cold calls." With Arbonne, there's rarely such a thing as a cold call!
  • There is an Arbonne product that can replace virtually any product that you normally use for health, beauty, weightloss, etc.
  • Arbonne has helped me pay for school! Just by doing the business in my SPARE TIME! Awesome!
Anyway, I just absolutely love my life as an Arbonne Consultant. If you want to take a look at the online catalog, look here. I constantly have specials going on for my current clients. Right now, I want to give you a FREE trial of client benefits.

Wordish Wednesday

I have known this kid since she was born. Her parents have known me since I was five years old. She is my "little sister" and my daughter's honorary aunt. I love this kiddo [umm... sorry, C, young lady] like she's my own. Here she is with her horse, Joy, getting pics for her daddy's birthday. Enjoy!

Just Linking Up, Today!

I don't really have much to update on, today. Riley is still doing well with her contacts. I've started back to school after a truly uneventful spring break. Actually, I did get to take some awesome pictures over SB. I'll put a few up at the end. But first, let's have a link up!

It’s everyone’s favorite day of the week again, Tuesday..
So that means it’s time to link up & follow for

An Update and a Linky

So, let's see...

Rooster and I are doing AMAZINGLY well with her contacts! The last two times I have had to take it out, it comes out on the first try! I am excited and look at Mr. Dye practically stunned each time. I am very proud of myself and Riley. I am thankful that she is such an awesome kid. She bounces back each time with continuous love for us even if we are digging around in her eye...

ALL OF US have been sick over the past few days. We are slowly recovering. Mr. Dye has been home from work today and yesterday. Riley CAME to work with me a couple days last week. And myself? I trudge on. Sick as all get-out and go to work and school. I stayed home from school one day because Riley couldn't go to the sitter.

Speaking of school... I'm so much closer to graduating! It will still be about a year and a half, like I envisioned at the beginning of the school year. But now, it's in PRINT! If I work hard and do both summer sessions this year, a full load in the fall, I can start methods in Spring of '12, take my final animal science electives during one summer session and then student teach Fall of '12 and then I SHOULD graduate December 2012. I spoke to my advisor Tuesday about this and we are confident this will work for me. Exciting!

I can't think of what else I've done since being on last. Our internet is still pretty much ka-put at home and I am here on campus during my free time getting this up...

Ok, so I'm a little late for this party... But what's that saying about being "fashionably late??" That's me. I'm fashionably late! Anyway, I hope you join SJ @ Homemaker on a Dime the first Monday of every month to socialize and make new friends!

Contacts, Shelf, and a Demonic Phone!

Good morning, friends! The internet is down at our home. So I haven't been able to truly update in a few days.

My demonic phone:

I turn my phone on silent through out the school day. I don't want to take the chance of my phone going off during a class. I would be absolutely MORTIFIED. Well, as usual, I put my phone's ringer on silent before even getting out of my truck to walk to campus. I clicked it all the way down AND even clicked the "set" button. Like usual, you know? I even SEE that the ringer is off by way of the little silent ringer icon. Twenty minutes into class and my phone starts ringing. LOUD! I quickly reach into my purse, apologizing to my prof the whole time, this time turning my phone OFF. I watched it power down all together. No sooner do I turn it off, that it starts to ring for a new voicemail. While it's OFF! I mean, what the heck!? I just turned it off. I'm absolutely mortified and embarrassed so I just grab my whole purse and walk out the door. When I got out of the classroom, I try to click on "listen to voicemail" but it won't let me! Because, it is indeed "off." I had to disconnect the battery entirely. Oh, but then, once it turned back on, it said I had no new voicemails. Rediculous! I am due for a phone upgrade in May and I cannot wait! Sheesh! How embarassing!

My shelf:

My shelf that I posted about when my sheet music wreath was completed is finally done! I can't wait to show you what it looks like. It's just as I imagined and even better! My dad had the awesome idea of adding door/base board trim to the bottom. He did that after I left the other night and when I was over at their home yesterday to see it, it looked absolutely amazing! My daddy is such a wonderful and talented carpenter :) Now all that is left is painting or staining it. But after the morning I had searching for something to wear, I may just leave it be so that it can hurry up and be used!

Rooster and her contact:

Well, so far the easiest day of contacts with Riley has been the very first day with the optometrist. The day we took it out and put it back in on our own was way worse. It took a loooong time for me to do the task. Then, Sunday night it took about an hour and a half for me to get it back out! I simply don't have the patience for this. I pray for God to help me with this area of my life daily. Pray for me to have patience, please. It's absolutely heart-wrenching knowing that I'm causing that baby to be scared and hurting. I wish I could make her understand that it is a necessary evil in order for her to have better vision in the long run.

Happy Tuesday :)
CHEERS!
