Sorry for the Delay

Hi Everyone,

Well all three of you I guess. But hey, we all have to start somewhere. Google did not become what it is today overnight, right? Not that I am comparing myself to Google, because at this moment I could not tell you where anything is, but if I were to Google it I am sure I would find it.

The reason that I am not able to tell you where anything is at is because I am living in a sea of boxes! The Pampered Family has officially moved. The Pampered Pets and I drove all day yesterday finally made it to our new palace. When we got here it was so nice to see our furniture again, but not so nice to see all of the boxes that took me two weeks to pack! Is there some sort of equation that you can plug your information into to see how long it will take to get back to normal after a move?

On a MUCH brighter note, I have officially qualified as a Pampered Chef Consultant. What this means is that I have sold over $1500 in PC products- so basically nothing, except the company made money. But there are a few perks to qualifying:

1. I got $200 in free product myself!!! YAY!

2. I got an OFFICIAL Pampered Chef Website. You can go on it and order things directly from me, no longer need to wait to be invited to a show! According to official company rules though I am not allowed to link it to this site, so if you are interested just e-mail me and I will send you the address.

3. My commission rate went up. Since I have proven that I can sell, my commissions have gone up. I think I am going to make more money from PC the month of June than I did in my M-F day job!

Well, boxes are not getting unpacked as I type, so I must get back to it. Talk soon!

Moving is Never Pampered

Ok, how in the world did two adults accumulate so much stuff?!? Pampered Husband and I spent all weekend packing, cleaning, packing, and crying. I did most of the crying, and whining for that matter. I am sure glad that we got married before this move because PH would have certainly left me due to my childish behavior this past weekend.

On a MUCH happier note I did my very first "Mommy and Me" Pampered Chef cooking show. It was a blast! The hostess bought the kids aprons to decorate while I worked with the adults to make the most amazing dish ever- get this- in the microwave! After that was thrown together, I worked with the kids. We made pizza uncrustables and cookie kisses. All of the kids seem to have a lot of fun. I sold a lot of the materials I used with the kids so that was great.

I need to work on developing a show that highlights the more expensive Pampered Chef products though. People seem to purchase the items that I use during the demonstrations, so I need to work the most expensive cutlery into more shows and the pots and pans.

I have another show tonight. It is a "Girl's Night Out" show. Yeah, I come up with my own theme shows! We are doing chocolate and alcohol. Sounds like tons of fun to me! Hope sales are just as good as they have been in the past.

Got to get back to the movers....ugh...not pampered at all!

Moving....ugh...

Okay, so let me start off by saying that nothing about moving is pampered!

I have been cleaning and packing up our tiny apartment all by myself. Not that I mind too terribly much though about doing this solo. Why?

A. I earn MAJOR wife points. There will be a day when I truly don't want to do something and I will ask Pampered Husband to do it and then politely remind him how hard I worked on the move all by myself.

B. Everything is being cleaned before it goes into a box, the box is then being labeled where it goes in the pampered palace, and the contents are being written on the outside of the box. Then the packed boxes are carefully being placed by other boxes that are going to the same room in the new palace. Goodness knows Pampered Husband would not be that anal about packing.

C. I have to tread very carefully here because Pampered Husband reads my blog, but there are certain items that either I do not care for or that he has not touched in the past year that will not be making the move with us. Do you catch my drift? Let's just say that I might need to tip the garbage men a little more after the move! Trust me, I am doing the same with my junk. Why move garbage?

Life isn't so pampered today. Maybe I will pick-up a Carmel Macchiato (sp??) and close my eyes and pretend that someone else will just magically appear to complete this project for me. Here's to dreaming....

Welcome to the Pampered Life for Us!

Thanks for clicking by my brand new blog. After spending numerous hours on Facebook and Twitter, I figured it was time to devote my online addiction to a blog. I follow many other blogs, but have been hesitant about starting my own. I hope that I can maintain it and keep it fresh, because I know how annoyed I get when I see that the blogs I follow are not updated often! I make no promises, but I do hope to keep this going.

First, a little bit about myself. I am a newlywed, in the middle of a large multi-state move, who has decided to start her own at home business. I must be crazy! Really, I'm not, but it sure feels like it!

The week we returned from our AMAZING wedding, hubby was transferred to a new state for his job. I stayed at home, and at my job, as long as possible. It was very difficult being newly weds and living a state apart. It was actually pretty ironic, considering we moved in with each other within our first month of dating. But now it is finally time to admit that I am going to have to move as well. I fought the good fight- and lost. Or at least that is what I thought until this weekend! I came to visit hubby and I absolutely fell in love with the area, housing situation, and everything! I cannot wait to run back to that other state and pack everything up and join my husband once again.

As for the business, I became a Pampered Chef Independent Consultant last month. Let me start by saying this one simple thing~ I LOVE PAMPERED CHEF!!!! Their products are simply amazing, and they make me look like a genius in the kitchen- which I am not. It is nearly impossible to mess up a meal when using their products. I just want to share these cool gadgets and great recipes with my friends and family, and hey, I might as well get paid for it!

So that is me in a very tiny nutshell. I hope you check back often to see what is happening in the Pampered Life!
