Busy Sunday

Today I finally got my gingerbread cookies made. Hallelujah. At least I can say I did some Christmas baking this year. DH also got a turkey from work, so I roasted that, since it'd been thawing in the fridge all week. It's like Christmas day over here.

All of a sudden, it hit me today that Christmas break is almost here. I knew it was, but I've just been keeping my head down and powering through lately. Today, I actually realized...I'm about to get a break! It's only a three-day work week this week, and then I have two weeks off, HURRAH!!

I officially have two Scentsy parties coming up, but it's not quite as exciting as it may sound--one's hosted by my mother-in-law, and one's hosted by my mom. They might just be throwing me a bone here as I try to get going, but I still appreciate it. =) One's in January, and one's in February. I don' t expect to do big business in January since people have just spent money on Christmas gifts, but I'd really like to book another party, if not two. I really want to meet my goal of making enough in commission to pay DH's student loans each month. My sponsor is going to let me tag along to some vendor fairs, but she said that they don't really get going until the springtime. I'm a little stumped right now as to how I can drum up more business and book more parties. March will be easier, because the spring/ summer catalog will come out and I think I'm going to hold another open house party myself for people to try the new scents and see the new warmers. I don't want to push people, but I also don't want to miss out on an opportunity because I didn't ask. I can't afford to be a wallflower about this--I really need this extra income. Hmm. Must figure out what to do.

This is going to be a big week. One way or another, DH is going to hear something about the job. As much as I would love for him to get a job where he can work closer and make more money, I don't want him to do it if it's heavily dependant on sales, because I know he wouldn't be happy doing that....and I've heard that the company that recently took over the bank is beginning to push tellers to 'upsell" people. I'm sure God will open the door if it needs to be opened, and if he doesn't get the job, it's because it wasn't the right job for him. We'll see. I'm also supposed to hear from the doctor this week.
