Not much to say...

but plenty to show!
I've posted some new Cooper pics on my site!
I have pictures of Cooper with Jack as well as pictures of our latest Cooper and Lori day out at Oxmoor Center. I do believe a good time was had by all!!
I'm heading to Mayfield this weekend, so I'll see some of you soon!

False Alarm

Well, after signing up for Mary Kay, I received my "welcome packet". It did not take me long to peruse the packet and realize this just isn't for me. I already quit. Apparently I do not have the start-up money or the wardrobe this group seems to require. From my understanding, not all MK groups work the same. The one I landed in seems rather like a sorority. While sororities and MK are wonderful for some people, I've never really fit into such groups. So...my short-lived venture into entrepreneurialism has ended. Cest la vie!

On another note, though... I have found a group that I'm really enjoying! Some of you already know about the class I'm taking, but others may as well find out so that you can have your laugh for the day as well. I'm currently enrolled in a belly dancing class. I've always thought it was a beautiful art, and when a friend mentioned that she was taking lessons, I started inquiring more. I've been going for about 6 weeks now, and I'm hooked! The first half of the hour long class is basically stretching and yoga type exercises. The second half we are up and really moving! We all wear "coin belts" or "hip scarves" which are really pretty scarves with tons of little clinky metal coins sewn onto them. They shake and tinkle and make the prettiest of sounds!! I'm definitely drawn to all things shiny (thanks, Granny!) . This is the first time I recall really enjoying this much physical activity.

I think that's about all the excitement in my life right now. Louisville has gotten past the Street Rod Nationals last weekend that fills our city with the finest of funny cars, and now we're all gearing up for the State Fair. My Pre-K class has entered a sunflower and some marigolds, so we're pretty excited about that.

Ma'am and George are up for the weekend, so I'm off to get showered and ready to go meet up with them for a while. I've heard rumor that Cooper will be having an art lesson with Mim today, so I'm hoping to make it in time for that. If I'm lucky, I'll get one of his pieces of refrigerator art to bring home with me!!!

Pink Lady

I think anyone reading this would probably be well aware that I am not a "girly girl". Pink has never been my color, and I haven't owned a pair of heels since my senior prom. However, through some strange twists of fate, luck, karma, or maybe even divine acts of God, I have somehow become a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Let me say that again for those who are still in as much shock as I am. I am a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. I signed the dotted line tonight, and I'm still really not sure what I'm getting into. I know that I like Mary Kay products. My aunt Sheila raised me up on the product. I know that I like money. I know that I like being with people. As much as I tried to talk myself out of it, I really couldn't find any good solid reasons not to at least give this a try. So...if you, or someone you know would like any Mary Kay products, I'm your gal. It should be interesting to see how this goes. Wish me luck!
