Alaska
May 30th, 2008 by LeslieSummer is here and the kids are out of school. It is going to be VERY interesting now that mother’s morning out is done. I’m going to have to get creative with my time. For example, we just got back from taking the kids to grab some lunch when the 3 year old fell asleep in the car. The 5 year old wanted to ride her bike, so I left the garage door open so I could hear the little one still sleeping the car. I set out my folding chair in the drive way, got my lap top and no sooner tuned it on to try to get some work done when CRASH! The 5 year old took a tumble off her bike onto the pavement. Of course I threw down the lap top, tended to the emergency at hand (it was just a scrape, but my 5 year old doesn’t handle boo boos well). There went plan A right out the window! Now she doesn’t want to ride her bike anymore and wants to just sit on the couch and watch a video while her cleaned up leg gets better. So, I just packed up my chair, bought my computer up to the house, gathered the little one out of the car and so now here I sit on the couch with my two sweet girls while we get a little “Baby Einstein” in. Uh-oh…. this one is over… I’ll probably be able to get 1 more video in before the natives get restless and it will be time to move on to a craft or activity.
Yep, I’ve got about another 30 minutes, so I’ll give you a quick update on the biz before I move on to doing follow up sales calls. The most exciting news of the week is…. I’m actually in
ALASKA!! As you may remember, one of my goals for 2008 is to be in at least 1 retail store in all 50 states. I had thought that
Alaska would be my Everest, but come to find out… not as hard as I thought. I’ve got 15 down only 35 to go!! Wanna “see” my newest store??? www.GourmetAlaska.com So if you know of anyone in
Alaska that needs Grill Charms, now you have a place to tell them to shop! Also, just another little update on Orca. They got me this mention http://inventorspot.com/articles/the_whos_whose_of_grilling_with_grill_charms_13920 Well that’s all for now. I’ve got about 15 more minutes to try to work on the other 35 states before I am off to color, cut and paste.
