You have to go check out these Easter Eggs. They are the cutest thing I have ever seen. I don’t know if I am talented enough to make them though. Kai also has a picture of a great Dane on her site. I didn’t realize those dogs were, well, so big. I like her blog because she is all over on her topics just like me. She is definately an interesting read, so go check her out!

Poker Party
Author: strehlowMar 30
It is getting to be that time again. I would not be too surprised if we get a call in the next day or two to set up a poker party. Bill and his friends have a rotating schedule, and they all take turns hosting a poker party at their house. It is usually every month or every other month. I have to admit I enjoy it. If Bill loses (which is usually what happens), then he is only out about $15. I would much rather have him here or at someone else’s house than sitting in a bar. Sometimes you end up with overnight guests and sometimes you do not. I would rather have them spend the night than get in an accident on the way home. When it is at your house, it costs you the beer. That is it. Everybody chips in for pizza. It is the easiest and cheapest night out. I have to admit some of these home game packages would come in handy when the guys are over.
Like everything else, you can spend as much or as little as you want. I also know Bill would love one of these poker tables. Too bad that we agreed not to buy one another anything this year.
Kermit Covers NIN

Yes, you read that correctly. Kermit the Frog cover NIN song Hurt. This definitely is not for children. However, I did have a good laugh.
Life Insurance

Do you have life insurance? Bill and I do. I actually think the life insurance company knew before we did that I was pregnant with Madison. We found out about a week after our physicals that I was pregnant. They still gave us insurance.
The main reason we even looked around for life insurance quotes was because of me. If I should die and we did not have life insurance, Bill would be okay. It would be tough, but he would be able to figure it out. Life insurance would make childcare and other neccessities easier. However, if Bill would die, it would not be good. The amount of life insurance he gets from work would pay for his funeral and that is about it. I would have to sell the house. That was my main reason for wanting to get it. I look at life insurance as just in case money. Just like student loans, you can get Washington Life Insurance, Illinois Life Insurance, etc. You can get it in every state. You are basically buying peace of mind.
Lia Sophia

I love my business. I love my hostesses. Here’s why:
I did a show last Saturday up in Green Bay. It was a good show. I ended up with a $140 commission check. However, I am an idiot. I left all the checks and all the orders in a folder on her counter. Of course, didn’t notice it until we were home already. My wonderful hostess read off all the orders to me so I could submit it before I left for New York. I had my mom pick up the folder and FedEx everything to me. Here’s why lia sophia is great. I submit this order about ten o’clock Sunday night. She received her order yesterday. Yes, yesterday. I love that kind of shipping!!! I know she is excited. Heck, I am excited that she got her stuff that quick.
The other good thing that happened for me. I have a show the day before Easter for an internet lead. It is only about twenty minutes from my house. She had me mail out 57 invites. Statisically, if you invite 30 people, 7 -14 show. Being that it is the day before Easter, this was either going to be a good show or a really bad one. I talked to my hostess yesterday and she has 32 people RSVP’d already!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped. This is going to be a great show with hopefully some big money for me (we can so use it). I emailed my recruiter to see if I need to bring some help with. The best part is that this should be a whole new booking circle for me.
