Long Time

2006-10-25T09:55:00.000-05:00

Wow it has been a long time since I have posted things have been crazy. We finished building our house and moved in shortly after my last post. Everyone knows that it takes a long time to put your life back in order again. I still have a lot of things to do in the house. Takes even longer when you have to keep up with work and kids. My oldest is going to kindergarten this year wow that was a wake up call! Lots of things going on with business. I also started a new business too Pink Lady Bug Spa www.pinkladybugspa.com Rep 136 C heck it out it is cool!

Christmas Coming Fast!

2005-12-15T09:25:00.000-06:00

How is everyone doing this time of year? Well things are going fast here we are coming close to the end of building our house and lots of decisions now on my part like paint colors, cabinet designs, etc.. Never thought so much was involved in building a house I almost wish they didn't have so many choices because it just gets confusing for me. My 2 boys have been sick the sickest I have ever seen my 4 year old since birth. I had them get flu shots yesterday and wow was the 4 year old mad.
Still looking for some more work from home never enough you know I am still coding and working my business but still need more money. Wish I could find something online that I could do like Customer service or something. I know everyone is looking for work at home like data entry etc.., but it is impossible to work on the phone at all with my 2 boys I can't even talk for a minute right now. I have tried talking to people about house decision and that is almost impossible to do so I know I couldn't do any phone work at this time.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in May also and the medicine is really expensive like making a car payment every month. I don't have the greatest prescription coverage either basically they assist me for the first $1000 after that I am on my own for the rest of the year. Now try and go online to find another prescription company and they mostly geared towards seniors what about the middle class people who aren't poor enough to qualify for any assistance, but yet don't make enough to pay extra bills either. I know it sounds strange saying I am building a house yet can't afford to pay $400 a month for medicines, but you know that we will be financially strapped with the house and it scares me right now, but we have to have a place to live too which is why I need another job to do at home until the kids get bigger. Well I better get busy lots to do today!!

Long Time Lots of Stuff Going On!

2005-10-19T10:49:00.000-05:00

Hi it has been a long time since I wrote so much has went on. I have been living at my in-laws since middle of May because we are building a house right now which is really exciting. There are more choices then I have ever dreamed of when building a house so many options from cupboards to flooring that I never thought I would get to choose. I always thought I would live in a house some day, but never dreamed of getting to build one from scratch. It will be so nice when it is all said and done.

I wanted to touch a little on Chargebacks. I recently have had a issue with them one customer basically scammed me out of around $300 in products. I also paid the shipping out of my pocket. That really stinks you know I am learning a lot about credit cards that I never knew before I mean I have used them since I was in college, but never knew a lot of the rules until now. I have to wait until Nov. 6th to find out if I lost out on over $300, but to make things worse now the company I use to process cards is evaluating me to see if I can still use them because my chargeback rate is too high. I had a lot of orders this month and maxed out half way thru the month now I can't do anymore processing until Nov. 1st I asked for a increase in processing limit, but was denied because of the chargebacks. I just keep getting punished over and over again with these chargebacks which are from the same customer. I thought I was safe processing for someone who had ordered from me previously and I had no trouble then the second time she ordered I got a lot of chargebacks because she placed multiple orders within a couple of days. Should've Known something was up with multiple orders, but she said she was getting married at the end of the week so I thought she just forgot a few things. I will definetly be changing my processing from now looking for those fraud orders. Well thanks for listening to my issues I will try and update more often now.

Hi I know its been a while since I wrote I just have been really busy. My document coding job finally picked up and I have been working constantly because we are trying to get a real estate loan for a new place I am really excited. I have been wanting a different place for a really long time.

My Mary Kay business is about the same I have quit most of my advertising to see how my reorder rate will be without anymore advertising besides I am sick of getting emails from others saying my advertisement is illegal and they are reporting me to Mary Kay. I Like advertising online for those people who want to be able to do everything over the internet and not feel bothered.

I am really excited to see spring this year, anyone else?? Spring seems to be early this year in North Dakota, our farmers already getting ready to seed their crops and last year it wasn't til middle May if I remember correctly. I really hope that it is warmer here this summer last year wasn't very warm temps stayed cool, the crops around here didn't fair very well because of this. Hope all is well in the blogging world I will have to read some posts!!

Huge Order, but it didn't go through!

2005-03-07T21:04:00.000-06:00

Can anyone explain to my why people place large orders or orders at all on your website without the intension to actually pay for it. I am really puzzled why people take the time to place order enter their information and then never pay for it. I had this happened twice in one week. Both times the cards were declined so I politely gave them a call to see what they would like to do rerun or try a different one. What I find really annoying is that why can't they just be honest with you I mean it is costing me money to call them long distance in the first place, one lady I called and a man answered the phone so I said is Sheila there he said just a minute then I heard him talking to a lady and telling her who I was then he comes back on the line and asks for the last name of the person I am looking for and tells me that I have the wrong number doesn't that sound funny to you. I had this happen today also I called a lady last friday she placed a huge order so I wanted to make sure it was legit and her card was declined too she said oh I don't have my purse my husband has it can you call back on Monday, so I did. Called once and she picked up and said you have the wrong number. I dialed it again and her husband answered and handed her the phone so I just asked do you still want your order she said no not at this time. I really didn't know what to say after that. Why place orders and never intend to actually pay for them I really don't understand! Well let me know what you think!!

Kids what a scare!!

2005-02-20T20:28:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone I had a big scare this week my 1 year old decided to jump off the counter. At first I thought he bit through his lip and needed stitches. I really wasn't sure, but it looked really deep. So I rushed to town about 20 miles away and asked my brother if he thought he needed stitches. He wasn't sure so we went to a nursing home where my brother works and asked a RN there she said no, but man did it look deep. I took her advise because well the emergency room charges are so crazy that I really didn't want to take him if I didn't have too. But really how am I to know what is bad or not right. I think I will take a first aid class and CPR too because the fastest anyone could get to my house is at least 10 min, my child could die or have serious damage in that amount of time. Sometimes I think that I have alread had multiple heartattacks with my 2 boys getting hurt. I can't stand to see them in pain or bleeding!! Well that was my excitement for the week beside job searching. Thinking of taking a phone job for a while to get some steady income coming in!!

My Business

2005-02-07T16:06:00.000-06:00

Hello business is slow right now I was hoping it would be running at good pace by spring, but now I am not so sure. I am starting to stress about money the Independent Contractor job is very slow and not consistent right now. I really need consistent income coming in. Sometimes I get so frustrated trying to juggle my kids, work, cooking, cleaning, and just trying to be happy. I read all these stories of successful people, but is it really possible for me I wonder. I guess I am just having one of those days!! Well enough about my life I hope you have a great Valentines Day!!

Working at Home!

2005-01-31T20:20:00.000-06:00

Good evening, I have been job searching again. I really want to stay at home and make a decent income. I have been coding for about a year, but that slowed down and there isn't always work. The whole point of staying at home is being flexible for my children. You know when there is a lack of work and we get some the flexiblity is totally out the window. You have to work when there is work available no matter what you got going on, that's is not flexible to me. So I am searching again for another telecommuting job!! I hope that someday my business will have a good customer base so I can depend on it, but right now that's not the case. There are so many jobs out there, but so few that are legit. I can't do phone jobs which seem to be legit with my two guys. Anyone else out there in the same shoes I am?? Well I sure hope I find another job to help pay the bills soon.

Valentine's Day

2005-01-23T11:43:00.000-06:00

Well Valentine's is just around the corner again. Do you enjoy it or dread it? I personally thought it was going to be great once I had that special someone, but you know it really isn't. My husband really doesn't do anything special for that holiday and you know I wish he did. To make matters worse my birthday is the next day the 15th. You know I used to think I would get showered with nice gifts and flowers both days, but I think that happened once. When I was first dating my husband the first year I actually got presents and flowers for both days and I really felt special. Oh well at least it happened once right!! Now I guess with my business I will see if any men out there still spoil their special someone with gifts and show them how special they are I hope. We have great gift services for men all you do is tell me how much you want to spend and leave the rest up to me. Now that is something I think any person could handle right? Well I better get busy!

Stress??

2005-01-08T23:22:00.000-06:00

You know I have not had the best time lately. We went in the ditch with our car (which is at the body shop don't know how much damage was done) on icy roads I hit the ceiling and have to go to chiropractor. My business is very slow right now, haven't received many new customers. I have been told I can't advertise the way I was on google and overture (which I was gaining a new customer daily) so I am feeling hopeless with my business now. I am not very good at approaching people in person, so direct sales is difficult that's why I was enjoying getting new customers off the internet because I don't bother anyone, they are looking for what I have to sell. Now I don't know if my business will grow anymore and it is not big enough to make any money really. Just seems like things aren't going my way and I am down about that. I am trying to find another legit telecommuting job so I can stay home with my boys and help out with bills. I was thinking today that all my troubles are really nothing, because I could not be here at all right? I mean look at the Tsunami thing wow my problems are nothing at least I am able to have troubles. I really get down sometimes, but you know there is a bright side I am here and alive in 2005!! Just needed to rant a little!

Blog Designs?

I think mine is quite plain and would like to redesign it or make it look better. Any suggestions and stories would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you!!

Lips You will Love Tip!!

2004-12-13T15:00:00.000-06:00

For Fuller Lips, Line your lips with a lip liner one or two shades darker than your natural lip tone. Also add a small dab of light, shimmery gloss in the center of the top and bottom lips to creat a fuller appearance.
Lighter lipstick shades make lips appear fuller while dark, rich shades minimize their appearance. Bright, Warm Colors help you and your lips look younger.
To keep dark lipstick shades from fading or to increase the lasting power of lip gloss, apply lip liner all over lips, then apply your lip color. This also helps colors blend better if you're using a darker lip liner than your lipstick.
To make rich colors even richer, apply your lipstick, blot, then reapply.
Conceal your natural lip line with foundation before applying your lip liner for a more distinct lip line.

Hope you enjoy this tip!! Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to everyone. This month I am going to feature the Visibly Fit Body Lotion. I will sell it for $5 off each bottle for the whole month of December. What is Visibly Fit Body Lotion? Here is all about this special lotion :
Tested for skin irritancy and allergy.
Dermatologist-tested.
For all skin types.
Oil-free.
Skin will appear firmer and smoother with regular use.
Helps even skin tone, minimize fine lines and reduce crepiness.
Improves skin clarity, firmness, elasticity and texture.

I started using this lotion when I was pregnant with my second child. It made my skin feel so soft as I wanted something to help prevent stretch marks. This helped me I never had itchy skin from stretching or anything. I have also tried Coco Butter Lotion and Baby Oil. So if you know someone who is pregnant or previously pregnant and looking for skin firming, line minimizing lotion send her my way as it is on Sale this month!!

Eczema Problems??

2004-11-08T09:36:00.000-06:00

I have really bad eczema and living in North Dakota doesn't help. My skin is sensitive to just about everything though it seems, I couldn't get it to go away even in the summer (which is used to as long as I didn't clean or do dishes). I have to give my two little boys baths daily so my hands are constantly in water somehow or another which is bothersome. It is really bad on the palms of my hands, it wakes me up in the middle of the night itching. Nothing seemed to help not even prescription strenght cream I would still itch. Last week I started using the Satin hands pampering set from Mary Kay and it really helped. My hands are getting better. I think it is because your removing all the dead skin cells and providing major moisture back into your hands. The extra emollient cream really works wonders for moisture. I would highly recommend the satin hands to anyone with eczema because your allowing the medication and moisture you apply right to the breakout by removing the dead skin. I also recommend getting some extra emollient night cream if you have dry chapped skin, I use it on my face where my eczema breaks out by my mouth and I also used it on my 1 year olds face when his face got chapped. It really helped him out he dived into a bowl of Salsa and his face got really dry and rashy.
