I had a lot of fun last night! I felt bad for my friend Sabrina though. She invited over 40 some people including various family members. She knew that 6 of her 7 aunties probably wouldn't come but one auntie w/ 2 cousin's RSVPd. Her ex-sister in law (long story not going in on that!) was going to come because she had my other pampered chef items but understood that her nephews had a basketball tourny and couldn't make it. So only her mother and I showed up! For some reason the one auntie with the cousin's didn't show up!
I got to love on my boy T (her son) and finally meet A (her daughter) and give my honey (her hubby) a big ol hug and kiss on the check (even if he was covered w/ grit, grease, and nasty stuff from his work-part owner of his family's business that constructs steel buildings, owns summer hill cabins, insulation operation, and other things).
But we had a blast even if it was just the three of us. Four if you count lil three year old A:D Pampered Chef lady said she actually perfers small parties like last nights because she can visit also! Sabrina made a cheese ball w/ crackers (low sodium) for me and the Pampered Chef lady made a decadant choco trifle (Sabrina got as many sugar free ingredients as possible!). Sabrina also ran to an up and coming local vineyard and got 2 excellant bottles of Red Wine! Sabrina knows NOTHING about wine and didn't releaze that she needed a cork screw to open the wine with! It was funny as hell when I walked in the door to help set up!
Bree hadn't chilled the wine because she didn't know she had to and when I grabbed it out of the bags and put it in the freezer on it's side she flipped! "IT'S GOING TO FREEZE". I told her no that is champagne silly! And that is because it is carbanated! We went to open the wine to have a glass with the trifle and she had no corck screw! She was about in tears and her mom was going calm down silly we will get it open! I asked if her hubby had a unused drill bit. Yes but she didn't know where. So I asked if she had any left over dry wall screws. Yes. Okay get me a screw driver and a pair of pliers. So I taught her to get a cork out with a dry wall screw and a pair of pliers. This was her first bottle of wine ever and she isn't sure what she thinks about it but let me tell you all something! That was some of the best wine I have ever had! For a small vineyard in North Eastern NE that wine tasted better then some of the wines I tasted when I was in Sonoma and Napa Valley's in Cali! This is the second vineyard/winerary in Northeastern NE that I know of.
So Sabrina and I have made plans to kidnap our hubbys, drop our kids off at one of the grandparental units houses and make a day of going to the two vineyards and having fun in their tasting rooms. The one she bought the wine from is actually only 15 minutes or so from her house in the boondocks!:D The other one we will have to travel 2 hours to get too so since it is more of a day for us we are going to make the guys drive so we can do the majority of the tasting! They are beer drinkers anyway!:D
After the Pampered Chef lady left w/ $61 dollars of my money and a parital guest list for my party next month, Sabrina's mom, Sabrina, and I went outside w/ a glass of wine, our cigs, and sat down looking at the stars and visiting. A and T came over and joined us from where ever they were at and T went inside and had to show off how he is firing off his own fireworks by himself now. Then Bree's mom left and A, Bree, and I stayed outside just chatting and wishing that I would have brought Randy and the kids with me so we could have just spent the night. I looked at the time and said oh shit and had to leave. I didn't leave out of their place till 11pm! Got home by 11: 35 or 40 so due to the suicidal deer. And then promptly stayed up watching John Doe on Sci Fi to drool over the main star John Doe, who by the way played Dracula in Blade III!:D Lovely looking man with a nice body if you ask me! Tried going to bed and Randy was sprawled and I couldn't move him so I got to sleep on the couch.
Randy woke me up at 6 this morning because he has to work today cleaning up a foreman's mess over in Wakefeild, where two more of my uncles live. He has massive amounts of automation prints to finish and panels to build for this coming week's jobs but he has to put them off to get this other foreman's crew caught up and cleaned out today so needless to say once he gets done over in Wakefield, grabs a fast lunch from one of my aunties he has to go into the shop and work some more! And this coming weeks check is going to be nice again! I love having money again so I can get all my bills paid off, I am a quarter of the way there and my pay check hasn't even been touched yet! Duel income is nice!:D
I strongly encourage you all to have a Pampered Chef party even if you don't have a lot of money to spend! It is just a nice way to go visit folks you haven't seen in a while, meet new people, and have a girl's night out! My Pampered Chef Party will be on April 13th, which by the way is Friday the 13th! The Pampered Chef lady really wants me to do a "scary theme" party!:D I know for sure that I will have more ppl then Sabrina! My mom, Sabrina and her mom, Dana (Bree's ex sister in law), and at least one auntie and one of my cousin's! I can also take orders from my friends across the US via the Pampered Chef Lady's website under my name! Not to mention catalog orders from friends and co workers who don't want to drive down to the boondocks where I live!:D So once my name is set up in my Pampered Chef Lady's website, I will post the link here for those of you who want to buy a lil something yourselves or host your own party! Even if your in a different state you can still sign up to host a party under me because my host can get another host to cover for her and/or you can hold a catalog party only! And once you hold a party, you receive 10% discount on all your orders for the rest of the year! That means if you book a party under my party and all your friends book one after that you can get 10% off at their parties! Not counting the lil bounes off of what you earned having your party and for having a party booked under your party! Which is great because Pampered Chef can be spendy but the items are great!
Okay I think I am done rambling for now!:D Look for my Pampered Chef Lady's site link soon!
I am off shopping in Omaha with my sister and mom in about 15 minutes here!
fun
