Well... right before Chris and Laura left for work, I fell. Bad. I had gotten up to do who knows what, and when I went back to the kitchen table to sit down I somehow didn't lift my foot up high enough to step over the computer cord and totally tripped. I went down so hard. I landed on my left hip and elbow mostly, but I am sore ALL OVER right now! Not to mention, when I tried to turn on the light over the kitchen table today I broke a chair! I don't have to explain to anyone that knows me how short I am, so it probably wouldn't surprise you that I can't reach most light strings. I stood on the chair like I normally do, and SNAP! The chair leg broke!
My day did get better, though. It feels good to have a good cry every now and then, and that I did. It was very sweet listening to all the stories of Kidd, and while he will be missed it sure does seem like he lived a full life! I pray for his family- especially his daughter, Caroline, who you could tell had an extremely close relationship to her dad. I also pray for his coworkers who spent a majority of their time with him that they will find peace during this time. All I have to say is this- if you could lose weight from crying, I probably would have lost a good 5 or 6 pounds this morning!
Anyway... while I was listening I spent quite a while filling out some blitz cards and product catalogues with my information for my itWorks! business. I plan on putting more effort into this business because I feel like I could be extremely successful with it if I just tried! I wrote on 42 blitz cards (I wrote on the other 58 this weekend) and filled out 51 catalogues (I did about 30 of those this weekend) and I feel very accomplished! I am writing my name, phone number, and website (http://jennawinter.myitworks.com) on each of these things. That may not sound like a lot, but I promise you it is! My niece, Madilyn, is even walking around neighborhoods with me and leaving these cards on doorsteps to help me advertise my business. I walked with her up and down this street in my neighborhood this past Saturday where she passed out 59 cards (woohoo). I know many of these cards will just be thrown away, but if I could get any customers out of this it would be totally worth it! It was so funny too... as we were walking Madi goes, "I just don't get it. You are paying me $10 an hour to walk around with me and watch me walk up to front doors?!" Well it sounds like I am being ripped off when she puts it that way, but I explained to her I am more-so paying her for her company because it would be really boring to walk around alone!
After working on my itWorks! stuff, I downloaded all our honeymoon pictures. A big shout out "TY" to Chris' coworker, Mark, who gave us a sweet wedding gift of purchasing our honeymoon pictures. We definitely couldn't have gotten so many beautiful pictures without his gift! After reviewing some of my wedding vendors online, I received a free shutterfly photo book! So, after downloading the pictures, I set to work on the book. I know I got it for free, but man! It is a lot of work! It took me like 2 hours to get everything the way I wanted, but it will be totally worth it. Check it out here: Honeymoon
Now that I have been on the computer for the past 5+ hours my eyes hurt! I am going to take a nap, then set to work on coupons! BTW... I will def put up some wedding pictures... just not sure when... I feel like my summer is almost over already!
